Diagnostic Parameter, Male Erectile Disorder

Male Erectile Disorder

Is the recurrent inability to achieve or maintain an adequate erection until completion of sexual activity. It is not considered male erectile disorder if it is merely an occasional problem or if it does not create distress and interpersonal difficulty.

Chronically or repeatedly, the patient cannot get or keep an erection sufficient to complete the sexual activity.

Except for another Sexual Dysfunction.

It is not directly caused by substance use (medication or drug of abuse) or by a general medical condition.

It causes marked distress or interpersonal problems.
