Majority of the population was Hindu (40%) followed by Muslims (25%), Buddhist (25%) and 10% were Christians, Sikhs and Jains. Majority of the population was educated up to 10th standard while 15% were illiterate. 30 patients were able to get morning erections on a regular basis and indulged in masturbation regularly. These males were then included in the future study. 21 patients (70%) complained of dissatisfaction in sexual life and 15 patients (50%) complained of pain in scrotum during sexual intercourse. 6 patients (20%) were asked to get operated for hydrocele by their wives.
