Abstract

This is the first of a three-part article addressing whether physiotherapy involving pelvic floor muscle exercises is efficacious as a first-line treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). In this, the first part of the article, the prevalence of ED and associated risk factors are considered after which the anatomy of the penis and the physiology of erection are outlined. This provides background for the second and third parts of the article which review the outcomes of published clinical trials investigating the treatment and prevention of ED, and assess the evidence for pelvic floor exercises relieving ED.
