title: Four cases of erectile dysfunction in substance abusers treated with sildenafil.
abstract: This case report describes four cases of substance abusers with sexual dysfunction, three of them with erectile dysfunction, and the fourth with erectile dysfunction and ejaculatia praecox. They were treated with sildenafil and their condition improved. There is a need to examine more fully the problem of sexual dysfunction in patients reporting for the treatment of addictions, given that it appears that their problem can be treated.
