3.3.5.0 Erec­tile Dysfunc­tion

In ad­di­tion to treat­ment of hy­pog­o­nadism if pre­sent, treat­ments for erec­tile dysfunc­tion may in­clude phos­pho­di­esterase type 5 in­hibitors, in­tra­cor­po­re­al or in­trau­rethral prostaglandins, vac­u­um de­vices, or pe­nile pros­the­ses. As with DPN treat­ments, these in­ter­ven­tions do not change the un­der­ly­ing pathol­o­gy and nat­u­ral his­to­ry of the dis­ease pro­cess but may im­prove the pa­tient’s qual­i­ty of life.
