Erectile Dysfunction in Patients with Hyper- and Hypothyroidism: How Common and Should We Treat?

Abstract

ED is extremely common in males with dysthyroidism. Treatment of the latter restores erectile function. Screening for thyroid dysfunction in men presenting with ED is recommended, whereas specific treatment for ED should be postponed in such patients for at least 6 months after achieving euthyroidism because the latter might be responsible for ED.
