We evaluated and compared blood total platelet count, mean volume (MPV) distribution width (PDW) values of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) control subjects. A 57 male (mean age 49.7 ± 12 years) ED 59 men 10.7 were included in the study. All using medical history International Index Erectile Function (IIEF) scores, physical examination routine analysis. Total including white cell (WBC), counts, MPV PDW parameters, recorded both groups. detected to be significantly higher than group: 1 9.72 1.5, respectively (P = 0.001). Similarly, 14.6 2.8 12.9 1.9, However, WBC counts similar groups 0.45). demonstrated that increased group. According these findings, function might play an important role warrants further research.
