About the questionnaire

What is the IIEF-5?

The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) is a questionnaire used around the world by doctors and in research to assess erectile function. The IIEF-5 is a shortened, five-question version.

Each question asks about your erections over the past six months, such as how confident you are of getting and keeping an erection, and how satisfying sex has been. The answers are scored and added up to give a total that suggests whether erectile dysfunction is absent, mild, moderate or severe.

A score isn’t a diagnosis. The questionnaire helps measure how severe erection problems are and track changes over time. It doesn’t tell you the cause, which is why we also talk about your health, medicines and lifestyle.

Your questions

IIEF-5 questions answered

Can I do the questionnaire online?

We go through it with you at your free consultation, so we can explain your score and what it means for you.

Should I see my GP?

Yes, it’s worth seeing your GP as well. Erection problems can be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes or hormone problems.
