| Abstract | Background: Men’s sexual health is one of the main aspects of their lives. Male sexual dysfunction (SD) includes a wide range of sexual impairments and is not limited to premature ejaculation (PE) and erectile dysfunction (ED). ED can be a life-changing issue that might be mixed up with male sexual impotence characterized by PE and ED. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its associated factors among the Iranian male population. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study for which data was collected from a nationwide reproductive morbidities project among males in Iran. To do so, 2296 men aged 25 - 60 years were selected from four provinces by cluster sampling. Statistical analysis was done in SPSS (18.0.0). Results: The prevalence of severe/medium SD and severe SD were 66.9% and 18.1%, respectively. The prevalence of low sexual satisfaction, low sexual desire, and dissatisfaction with the length of intercourse before orgasm were 9.5%, 9%, and 12%. Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction is highly likely prevalent among less educated, unemployed men with a history of chronic diseases. Various educational programs to raise awareness are thoroughly recommended. | en |
