Erectile Dysfunction Risk Assessment

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to achieve/maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. Affecting 30 million+ Americans, ED often serves as an early warning sign for:

• Cardiovascular disease

• Diabetes

• Hormonal imbalances

• Psychological conditions

The IIEF-5 Standard: Gold Standard for ED Assessment

The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire is the clinically validated diagnostic tool used by urologists worldwide. Our calculator replicates this medical assessment through 5 key parameters:

1. Erection confidence

2. Penetration ability

3. Maintenance during intercourse

4. Maintenance until completion

5. Satisfaction frequency
