Summary

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common, and is defined as "persistent or regular inability to achieve or maintain penis erection for satisfactory intercourse". Approximately 3% to 71% of males have this problem as they age, and it is predicted that 320 million males worldwide will have ED by 2025. However, sex remains a topic that is too sensitive for most people to discuss openly. ED therapies include oral medication, vacuum erection devices, intracavernosal injection, testosterone supplementation, surgery, and psychological counseling. In addition, germanium (Ge), titanium (Ti), and π elements are noble metals that can be used to produce far-infrared radiation. There has been little application of these metals to the treatment of ED, but their use is worth investigating. Administered as health textiles, the application of these metals are expected to promote blood circulation, especially in the reproductive system, resulting in an improved sexual performance. Hence, the researcher aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of Ge-Ti-π elements fiber textiles as an ED treatment, assessed by using the questionnaires related to the quality of sexual function.
