Korean Society for Sexual Medicine and Andrology (KSSMA) Guideline on Erectile Dysfunction

Ji Kan Ryu et al. World J Mens Health. 2013 Aug.

Abstract

In February 2011, the Korean Society for Sexual Medicine and Andrology (KSSMA) realized the necessity of developing a guideline on erectile dysfunction (ED) appropriate for the local context, and established a committee for the development of a guideline on ED. As many international guidelines based on objective evidence are available, the committee decided to adapt these guidelines for local needs instead of developing a new guideline. Considering the extensive research activities on ED in Korea, data with a high level of evidence among those reported by Korean researchers have been collected and included in the guideline development process. The latest KSSMA guideline on ED has been developed for urologists. The KSSMA hopes that this guideline will help urologists in clinical practice.

Keywords: Erectile dysfunction; Guideline; Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
