Diabetes-related impotence and its treatment in the middle-aged and elderly: Part II.
Primary care treatment of diabetes-related impotence frequently revolves principally around patient referral and counseling. Sex or marital counseling or psychotherapy has a moderately high success rate for patients with psychogenic impotence. However, penile prosthesis implantation in properly selected patients with irreversible diabetic impotence has a final success rate, in terms of patient and partner satisfaction, of approximately 90%. Intracorporal self-administered papaverine alone or in combination with phentolamine has a limited role in producing erections satisfactory for intercourse.
