Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED), defined as the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance The present retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Shyam Shah Medical College and associated Super-speciality hospitals, Rewa, M.P., for a period of 18 months from 1st Feb. 2020 to 31st July 2021. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 1001 subjects in the age ranging from 18 to 60years. Prevalence of E.D. was calculated based on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) score assessment in the study sample based on the IIEF questionnaire. Results: A total of 1001 subjects were evaluated for IIEF-5 score and we can observe that the rates of ED were 29.06% in the group aged 18-30, 45.30% in the 30-40 group, 21.37% in the 41-50 group, 4.27% in the group aged 51-60 years. Out of 1001 subjects, 185 had E.D. Prevalence comes out to be 18.5 %. Conclusion: E.D. is an increasingly common condition in men. A careful diagnostic evaluation and timely intervention can be curative. Social awareness and taboos are intervening factors to deal with. |
