Patients who did not have COVID-19
Patients underwent diagnostic evaluation including IIEF-5 form, penile color Doppler ultrasonography, corpus cavernosum electromyography, and fasting serum levels of testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, and prolactin measured in the morning (07-11 am). The relaxation degrees of cavernosal smooth muscles were calculated from the corpus cavernosum electromyography results.
