Summary

Introduction

The causes of erectile dysfunction (ED) are different and include hormonal, neurogenic, psychological, arterial and venous disorders. Neurogenic disorders are caused by diseases or dysfunctions of the brain and spinal cord, cavernous, pudendal nerves and terminal nerve endings and receptors. The commonest hormonal disorder is diabetes mellitus. Arteriogenic impotence is often a component of systemic arterial disease. Abnormalities in venous flow can be due to a tunica albuginea defect, excessive or enlarged veins, or fibrous replacement of the smooth cavern muscles. Treatment for ED depends on the etiology.
