Background: Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is the consistent inability to attain and/or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. ED is a very common condition that has a profound impact on quality of life and self-esteem. ED is believed to be due to many causes. Psychogenic, vascular, neurogenic, hormonal, cavernosal, iatrogenic, drug induced, and anatomic causes are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of ED. Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common clinical disorder that affects about 15% of men. It's characterized by pain or discomfort localized to the abdomen, pelvis, and genitals, as well as irritative and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in the absence of urinary tract infection. The purpose of this review is to explore the link between the ED and CP/CPPS conditions as it’s thought that CP/CPPS is involved in the pathogenesis of ED. Conclusion: Men with CP/CPPS are at higher risk to have poor sexual functioning.
