Erectile dysfunction (ED) is portrayed as lasting deficiency to achieve or sustain penile erection in successful vaginal penetration and is a major problem affecting the quality of life in men. The number of ED sufferers worldwide is anticipated to reach 322 million, by 2025. In recent years, many publications and studies have been made in the field of ED. Our aim was to perform a detailed bibliometric analysis of erectile dysfunction literature. In this study, we downloaded the data of the publications from the Web of Science Core Collection. All items indexed in these databases between 1975 and 2018 were included. Documents produced in 2019 were excluded. We searched in WoS databases for the keywords of 'erectile dysfunction' and 'impotence'. Our basic search into WoS databases retrieved a total of 28,266 documents indexed between 1975 and 2018. English dominated impotence literature (92.541%) followed by German, French and Korean (2.136%, 1.920% and 1.180% respectively). The United States has made tremendous improvement in ED studies and is still the effective country. The most prolific author was Montorsi F with 330 articles from Italy, and three-fifth of the authors were from the USA.
勃起功能障碍（ED）被描述为在成功进行阴道性交时持续无法达到或维持阴茎勃起，是影响男性生活质量的一个主要问题。预计到2025年，全球勃起功能障碍患者人数将达到3.22亿。近年来，勃起功能障碍领域已有许多出版物和研究。我们的目的是对勃起功能障碍文献进行详细的文献计量分析。在本研究中，我们从科学网核心合集下载了出版物数据。纳入了1975年至2018年期间这些数据库中索引的所有条目。排除了2019年产生的文献。我们在科学网数据库中搜索了“勃起功能障碍”和“阳痿”的关键词。我们对科学网数据库的基本搜索共检索到1975年至2018年期间索引的28266篇文献。英语在阳痿文献中占主导地位（92.541%），其次是德语、法语和韩语（分别为2.136%、1.920%和1.180%）。美国在勃起功能障碍研究方面取得了巨大进展，仍然是该领域的主导国家。发文量最多的作者是来自意大利的蒙托里F，有330篇文章，五分之三的作者来自美国。
