Abstract

With the aim of evaluation of prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) and other violations of the sexual function of men in the Russian Federation, anonymous questionnaire survey of 1400 men was performed. The study involved seven centers located in the most densely populated regions of the country. 1225 questionnaires were analyzed. It was found that ED symptoms were present in 1101 (89.9%) respondents. Age-related symptoms (by AMS questionnaire) were detected in 554 (45.2%) patients, most of whom were aged 45-59 years. The importance of active detection of ED in men, as it can be one of manifestation of a more serious disease, was demonstrated.
