EHS 3 = Penis is hard enough for penetration but not completely hard; EHS 4 = Penis is

completely hard and fully rigid.

responses submitted as part of event logs by 300 patients. The validation supports the use of

the EHS as a simple and reliable tool for the assessment of erectile dysfunction in clinical
