[Sexuality and sexual disorders of aging man].
Functional ability of an aging man decreases less than presumed, and sexual desire remains for long. The most common disturbances include lessened ability for erection and ejaculatory disturbances. Some men will be helped for their sexual disturbances in connection with the treatment of urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Erectile dysfunction may be the initial symptom of cardiovascular disease. Erectile dysfunction may also be caused by medication used by the patient. If an aged man wants therapy for his sexual disorder, he should be individually provided with the most appropriate treatment form.
