The most frequent prostatic pathology is benign prostatic hyperplasia. By the age of 50, 50% are diagnosed with it and by the age of 80, it increases to 90%. The erectile dysfunction prevalence along benign prostatic hyperplasia is 5.2%-40%. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are 1.33-6.24 times more likely to have erectile dysfunction tan without benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Results:
101 patients, mean age 66.5 ± 8.5 years, mean physical aspect 38.68, mean mental aspect 43.35, 14 without erectile dysfunction, 38 mild grade, 33 mild to moderate, 15 moderate and 1 severe.
Conclusions:
