[Clinical and instrumental evaluation of erectile impotence: a proposal of a diagnostic protocol].
There has been increasing interest in recent years in patients complaining of erectile dysfunction. This has prompted research and the development of diagnostic procedures aimed at allowing increasingly rapid characterization of the type of impotence involved (psychogenic or organic) and thus the most effective treatment. In this preliminary study, we present our study methodology in patients with erectile dysfunction, emphasising in particular the diagnostic procedures best suited to revealing the presence of an organic cause in the pathogenesis of impotence.
