Abstract Background: Erectile dysfunction is one of the common complications of testicular cancer with the prevalence of 11.3% to 84%. It has devastating effects on men and partner’s quality of life, sexual satisfaction, and sexual experience. The findings of the previous studies on this matter were uneven and inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis is conducted in order to acquire a more recent and comprehensive result. Methods and materials: PubMed, Scopus, Goggle scholar, Science Direct, African Index Medicus, African Journal online, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. All necessary data were extracted using a standardized data extraction format. Data were analyzed using STATA 14 statistical software. A heterogeneity of studies was assessed using the I 2 statistics. Publication bias was checked by using a funnel plot and Egger's regression test. A random-effect model was computed to estimate the pooled prevalence of erectile dysfunction. Result: Fourteen full-text studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of erectile dysfunction among testicular cancer survivors was found to be 34.60% (95% CI: 25. 89, 43.30% [I 2 = 95.9%, p = 0.000]). Study design subgroup analysis indicated that the pooled prevalence of erectile dysfunction was 50.02% (95% CI: 22.78, 77.28% [I 2 = 96.1, p = 0.000]) and 27.36. % (95% CI: 19.23, 34.48% [I 2 = 91.6, P = 0.000]) in the case control and cohort studies respectively. Likewise, the level of erectile dysfunction was varied based on erectile dysfunction measuring tools and testicular cancer treatment modalities. Conclusion: The pooled prevalence of erectile dysfunction in testicular cancer survivors was found to be high. It had also a considerable discrepancy between the study designs, and measuring 3 tools and treatment modalities of testicular cancer. Therefore, there is a sound to diminish the high burden of this problem.

Exploring tenets of basic psychological needs theory, the objective of this study was to examine the association between psychological needs satisfaction, exercise behavior, and physical and mental health among testicular cancer survivors. The present study investigated whether psychological needs satisfaction was directly associated with increased self-rated health, and if this relationship was mediated by engagement in exercise. Testicular cancer survivors ( N = 135; Mage = 32.45; SD = 7.63) self-reported current psychological needs satisfaction, exercise behavior, and perceived global physical and mental health during routine oncology visits. Associations were examined using path analysis. Psychological needs satisfaction was a positive correlate of both self-rated physical and mental health in this sample, and exercise mediated the association between needs satisfaction and self-rated physical health. This study supports the assumptions underpinning basic psychological needs theory in this unique clinical population. Based on the findings, exercise engagement represents one mechanism associated with perceived health after cancer. Supportive care interventions should aim to enhance satisfaction of psychological needs and investigate exercise as a mechanism underpinning the relationship between needs satisfaction and perceived health in testicular cancer survivors.
