Prevalence of male sexual dysfunction among men

The objective of a new study at Service d’urologie, CHU de Bicêtre, France, was to describe medical reasons disclosed by men over 18 years old when visiting an urologist, to estimate the prevalence of male sexual dysfunction (MSD) including erectile dysfunction and to describe treatment options for erectile dysfunction.

This first survey in French urologists’ community emphasizes the high prevalence male sexual dysfunctions for inpatients visiting their urologists. Despite declared urologists’ interest for male sexual dysfunction, the discrepancy between the high prevalence of erectile dysfunction and the low rate of patients consulting for this condition probably explains the low rate of patients using treatments.
