dc.description.abstractThe study's aim was to document the rates of declared and hidden erectile dysfunction (ED) at urology outpatient clinic while attempting to develop a method to encourage patients to talk about ED. A total of 506 patients, all of whom underwent the same procedure by the same clinician with a standard algorithm, were prospectively evaluated. The patients who declared ED as their primary or secondary symptom were grouped as 'very early treatment seekers' (VETS) and 'early treatment seekers' (ETS) respectively. The patients who hid their ED until directly questioned and the patients whose ED was diagnosed with an IIEF-5 questionnaire were grouped as 'late treatment seekers' (LTS) and 'very late treatment seekers' (VLTS) respectively. The total number of ED was 291 (57.5%), comprised of 54 (18.6%) patients in the VETS, 48 (16.5%) in the ETS, 143 (49.1%) in the LTS and 46 (15.8%) in the VLTS groups. The rate of severe ED was significantly higher in the VETS group, whereas the rate of mild ED was significantly higher in the VLTS group (p < .001). Most of the patients would not seek help for their ED until the clinician directly or indirectly questioned them. Simple manipulations uncovered the hidden ED patients.
