Summary

This study uses an anonymous online questionnaire to compare sexual function, sexual quality of life, psychological well-being, and marital satisfaction among Egyptian men in polygamous versus monogamous marriages. About 1,820 married men aged 18 and older will answer validated scales, including the Sexual Health Inventory for Men. The goal is to see whether marital structure is linked to differences in sexual health and to identify predictors of impaired sexual function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
This could clarify how marital structure relates to men's sexual health and well-being, potentially guiding culturally tailored support or counseling.
What could go wrong
As a survey, it can only show associations, not cause and effect. Self-reported data and cultural sensitivities may limit accuracy and generalizability.
