Abstract

Infertility is common and associated with distress, anxiety, and depression, all of which can result in sexual dysfunction. This stress-related erectile dysfunction can be effectively treated with oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. A review of the current literature suggests that phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors have no detrimental effects on human semen parameters or hormonal milieu. Physicians treating infertile couples should be aware of the association between erectile dysfunction and infertility and be proactive in inquiring and treating infertility-induced erectile dysfunction.
