Abstract:
Erectile dysfunction is a medical disease with extensive influence on the quality of life and well-being of patients and their female or male partners. Nowadays, most of the underlying pathological factors are well known. The general medical history with the question of possible risk factors and the specific sexual history play the most important roles in the guideline-based diagnostics. In addition, a thorough clinical examination and specific laboratory tests should be carried out. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, vacuum devices, injection therapy and penile prostheses are the options for an evidence-based and individual treatment of affected patients. The success rates are high in most cases. Every urologist, andrologist and practitioner of sexual medicine should have detailed knowledge in this field.
