Low Testosterone Levels and Erectile Dysfunction

Low Testosterone Levels and Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is highly prevalent, affecting up to half of men in their 50-70s. General interest toward ED has exploded since the introduction of “phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor” (PDE5i) drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra®). In the last decade, the time lapse between first symptoms of sexual disorders and seeking of medical advice has greatly decreased. However, none of the PDE5i drugs are curative, but only treat the symptoms of ED.
