| Abstract | Objective: To describe the profile of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED), attending to consultation and satisfaction using sildenafil oral suspension, from the specialist's perception. Materials and methods: This is a nationwide multicenter, epidemiological, descriptive and observational study, with the studied population as the unit of study. Thirty urologists and/or andrologists completed a questionnaire with questions about ED patients' profile attending to their practice, sildenafil oral suspension perception of effectiveness and safeness, and their opinion about patients' satisfaction after sildenafil oral suspension treatment. Aggregate data were collected for the last 6 patients treated or on treatment with sildenafil oral suspension. Results: Overall, 40.9% and 24.9% of patients had moderate or severe ED, respectively. Among the patients, 73.6% were older than 50 years. The disease progression was approximately one year (11.8 months). ED etiology was mostly organic (38.1%) and mixed (31.8%). Cardiovascular comorbidities were present in 57.4%, mental health problems in 16.4% and hormonal disorders in 10.2% of the patients. The main reason for choosing sildenafil oral suspension was the ease of dose adjustment. The specialists considered that 73.4% of the patients responded satisfactorily to treatment. They also rated the perceived effectiveness and safeness of the product as very good or good. Conclusions: Urologists and andrologists consider that most patients with ED achieve a high degree of satisfaction with sildenafil oral suspension. The main advantage of the treatment is the possibility of adjusting the dose according to patient's needs and circumstances. |
