Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) | Pre-treatment, 30 days, 3 months and 6 months | The IIEF is a brief 15-item, self-administered questionnaire that was developed as a measure to detect treatment-related erectile function in patients in cross-cultural settings. Instrument includes 5 domains; erectile function (EF), orgasmic function (OF), sexual desire (SD), intercourse satisfaction (IS) and overall satisfaction (OS). The sub-scales scores range as follows: Erectile Function: 1-30 Orgasmic Function: 0-10 Sexual Desire: 2-10 Intercourse Satisfaction: 0-15 Overall Satisfaction: 2-10 The items are not weighted and total scores range from 5 to 75. On the Erectile Function sub-scale lower scores indicate worse erectile dysfunction, while on the remaining sub-scales higher scores indicate less dysfunction |
