Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prominent global health issue that has a substantial negative influence on both the affected man and his partner's quality of life and life satisfaction. Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is defined as the lack of ability to achieve and maintain a strong erection that permits the male to perform sexual activity. This review aims to view the current situation of erectile dysfunction in Asia and find new innovative technologies to address biophysical and socio-cultural aspects of this disorder. This is an Integrative Review with thorough search of available literature. Age was considered to be the most significant factor contributing to the development of sexual dysfunctions. Future research on men's sexual health should consider the psycho-behavioral attitudes and mindsets of various Asian ethnic groups.
