The Sexual Health Inventory for Men is an abbreviated version of the International Index of Erectile Function. It asks about the last six months and produces a score between 5 and 25, which maps onto five severity bands.
| Score | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 22–25 | No erectile dysfunction |
| 17–21 | Mild |
| 12–16 | Mild to moderate |
| 8–11 | Moderate |
| 5–7 | Severe |

No. It is a validated-style screening questionnaire that describes severity. Only a clinician can diagnose erectile dysfunction and identify its cause.
No. The questionnaire runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to a server, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
The Sexual Health Inventory for Men, also known as the IIEF-5, is a five-item screening tool widely used in clinical practice to assess erectile function severity on a 5 to 25 scale.
Take it to a clinician. It gives the conversation a concrete starting point and a baseline you can measure treatment against later.
