Sexual health-concluding remark

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and ejaculatory dyssynergia (EDS) strongly affect quality of life in some CPPS sufferers. Why these occur and how many men that are affected is not clear. Research in ED and EDS is in my opinion lacking in standardized procedures and useful measurables (the 2-minute limit is not a good parameter-it is in fact ridiculous). The fact that circumcised and normal men are not distinguished is also a confounding factor. Lack of detailed information on thyroid and gonadal function (prolactin, SHBG, DHEA etc) is yet another.
