Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that reduces the quality of life and widesp-read throughout the world. There have been several questionnaires so far developed for the assessment of ED. But the most popular and widely used of these questionnaires is the International Index of Erectile Functi-on (IIEF). The IIEF has been translated into more than thirty languages including Turkish and have begun to replace laboratory-based tests in recent years. Because IIEF not only used to assess the degree of ED, it is also used to evaluate the results of the treatment of ED. In this article, we reviewed the studies on the Turkish IIEF and its reliability.

Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that reduces the quality of life and widesp-read throughout the world. There have been several questionnaires so far developed for the assessment of ED. But the most popular and widely used of these questionnaires is the International Index of Erectile Functi-on (IIEF). The IIEF has been translated into more than thirty languages including Turkish and have begun to replace laboratory-based tests in recent years. Because IIEF not only used to assess the degree of ED, it is also used to evaluate the results of the treatment of ED. In this article, we reviewed the studies on the Turkish IIEF and its reliability.
