PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Erectile dysfunction is a very prevalent condition and impairs quality of life of men and their partners. The diagnosis strategy of erectile dysfunction has changed, and it is important for every health professional to learn how to deal with erectile dysfunction.
RECENT FINDINGS: Although very prevalent, the sexual dysfunctions, including erectile dysfunction, continue to be underdiagnosed. Patients often expect physicians to initiate the conversation and ask about their troubles having sex. The routine to identify erectile dysfunction causes has undergone significant changes over the last decade. Identification of erectile dysfunction can be made through questionnaires or a complete medical and sexual history. Anamnesis and laboratory tests are sufficient in most cases to identify erectile dysfunction and to manage the treatment. Supplementary tests are used in special cases or when there is a need for an etiological diagnosis.
SUMMARY: Sexual function must be a part of every medical consultation, as any other body function. Erectile dysfunction diagnosis is not a complex task and can be accomplished by any physician. Even when the professional does not feel secure to treat erectile dysfunction, he or she can just identify the dysfunction and refer the patient to an expert.
