ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION RESOURCE CENTER

Erectile Dysfunction

Urology

Penile erections involve an integration of complex physiologic processes involving the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system, and hormonal and vascular systems. Any abnormality involving these systems, whether from medication or disease, has a significant impact on the ability to develop and sustain an erection, ejaculate, and experience orgasm.

Infertility, Male

Urology

Infertility is defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse. An estimated 15% of couples meet this criterion and are considered infertile.

Penile Prosthesis Implantation

Urology

As defined by Pearman, an early leader in this field, ED is the loss of the ability to produce and maintain a functional erection caused by pathology of the nervous or vascular system or deformation of the penis.

Sexuality and Disability

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Sexual dysfunction in patients with disabling physical or neurologic conditions often is overlooked by medical personnel, but it is a topic of great importance to both the patient and those with whom they share significant relationships.
