Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defi ned as a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual performance. Psychic or organic reasons can be the reason and also a combination of both. Older men tend to have an organic reason, whereas younger men are more often affected by psychogenic reasons. The most common organic causes are cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems (e.g., nerve damage from pelvic surgery), drug side effects, and hormonal insuffi ciencies (hypogonadism).
