[Erection disorders: the value, significance and limits of various examinations].
Erection, a complex physiological phenomenon, is the result of numerous simultaneously interacting mechanisms. A defect of one of these mechanisms can induce erectile dysfunction. In this paper, the authors define the various tests used to investigate the principal pathways governing erection, taking into account their respective value in view of the increasing pressure of budget restrictions on health systems.
