The patients consuming alcohol were assessed using psychometric tools, including the alcohol use disorders identification test, the severity of alcohol dependence questionnaire, and the international index of erectile function. Data from 234 male patients were analyzed using descriptive statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study found a high prevalence of sexual dysfunction among the participants. Specifically, 41.5% of patients reported decreased sexual desire, 40.6% experienced a loss of overall satisfaction, and 38.9% suffered from erectile dysfunction. Patients with ADS showed significantly higher levels of dysfunction in orgasmic function, sexual desire, erectile function, and overall satisfaction compared to those without ADS. However, there was no significant difference in terms of intercourse satisfaction between the two groups. Longer durations of alcohol use were associated with a greater degree of sexual dysfunction across all domains of sexual functioning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study highlights the significant association between alcohol dependence syndrome and sexual dysfunction.
