“…In another study also conducted in Spain involving 512 males who had experienced some kind of erection problem at some time, only 20% stated that they had sought a solution for their problems, mostly by seeing a doctor, taking an average of 1.7 years to do so. 28 This behavior was also seen in the Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors, as only 18.0% of men sought medical help for their sexual problems. 29 Our study indicates that ED and PE are probably underdiagnosed in 3.5% of the male population aged between 25 and 75 years with a positive result in the ED screening questionnaire (SQUED) and 11.7% presenting a high or moderate risk of suffering from PE according to PEDT.…”

Background: Approximately 43% of Spanish men report experiencing premature ejaculation (PE) at some point in their lives and 12.1% suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), of whom only 16.5% have seen a doctor. Despite this, ED and PE remain undiagnosed among a supposedly healthy segment of the population. Aim: To assess the general knowledge of a representative population of healthy Spanish males of the symptoms, treatment, and expectations related to ED and PE. Methods: This was a descriptive study based on an online questionnaire in which 2,515 males aged 25e75 years with no history of ED and/or PE presented their perception of aspects related to symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and expectations in ED and PE. Main Outcome Measures: The study provided an evaluation of the knowledge, attitude, and underdiagnosis of ED and/or PE in healthy males and the approach taken by urology specialists and other disciplines. Results: The survey was completed by 2,515 healthy males, including over 80% of those who had completed secondary or higher education. 60% of the sample had never seen a urologist and 59% and 62% of the participating men responded correctly to the statements about PE and ED, respectively. Their lack of knowledge of the therapeutic alternatives was clear (74% and 76% of the panel were unaware of the existence of effective treatments for ED and PE, respectively). Despite the initiative shown by some participants in seeking information about each condition (10.3% for ED; 16.7% for PE), only 4.7% of them had been questioned about ED by a medical practitioner (1.9% for PE). The underdiagnosis rate stood at 3.5% for ED (5.6% participants >65 years) and at about 10% for PE. Clinical Implications: These results will represent a point of departure for establishing some recommendations to improve the detection and treatment of these disorders. Strengths & Limitations: This is the first study of its kind in Spain to analyze the underdiagnosis of ED and/or PE inferred from data reported by a population of healthy males. Screening for ED was performed with a validated questionnaire. However, the rest of the research was conducted using adaptations of validated questionnaires or a self-designed questionnaire based on and in consultation with a group of experienced andrologists. Conclusion: People need to have greater knowledge of both the conditions and the related false myths to make sure that they are familiar with the existence of drug treatments and socio-sanitary interventions. Primary care physicians and urologists should also be more proactive in routine visits in order to achieve better management of ED and PE.
