Preface
Erectile dysfunction (ED) was once considered psychogenic in origin and frequently neglected by healthcare providers. More recently, there is increasing recognition of its many physiological causes, its impact on the quality of life, and the potential for therapy to improve the quality of life, self-esteem, and the ability to maintain intimate relationships. Despite these important steps forward, the pathophysiology of ED remains incompletely understood. This book represents the current state-of-the-art in the evaluation, diagnosis, and the treatment of this important and common global problem. The contributing authors represent the world’s most experienced, knowledgeable, and most expressive investigators in the field and are able to update the reader on the current aspects of the clinical problem as well as the state-of-the-art in evaluation, pathophysiology, hormonal evaluation, oral and local therapies, psychotherapy, prosthetics, and areas of uncertainty pertaining to ED.
