abstract: To study the prevalence of male sexual disorders in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the survey by the urologist and endocrinologist with the use of self-reported questionnaires (IIEF and AMS) was conducted in 2007. 2203 of 2676 men (70,4% - urban, 29,6% - rural residents) aged 18-74 years completed the survey. The prevalence rates for erectile dysfunction were 50,8% (1,3%) for 18- to 74-year olds which numbered 1550 urban residents and 55,6% (1,9%) for 18- to 74-year olds with a number of 653 rural residents; symptoms of androgen deficiency were defined at 29,3% (1,2%) (454/1550) of men and 30,3% (1,8%) (198/653) of men respectively. The scale devised by Prins was used for the survey in order to be considered a valid epidemiological study.
