Did you know that there is an official way of grading erectile function? Nor did I until recently! It’s called the International index of erectile function (IIEF). It’s used in a newly published study that looks at sexual function before, and after vasectomy.
Researchers looked at 64 men who were going to have a vasectomy. The men were assessed prior to the vasectomy, and 90 days afterwards. The average age of patients was 35 with 3 children.
The average score using the IIEF test was 64.06 before, and 65.64 after vasectomy. The researchers consider this to be statistically significant. Desire and sexual satisfaction gave significant improvements. Overall the researchers concluded that the study results showed that vasectomy caused a positive impact on sexual function in the majority of men who had a vasectomy.
