Analysis of the relationship between sexual satisfaction, erectile dysfunction, and penile vascular parameters in a cohort of patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the second sexual dysfunction affecting men. Penile duplex ultrasound (PDU) with intracavernous injection of a vasoactive agent as alprostadil or papaverine, may play an important role in differentiating psychogenic from vasculogenic ED (arterial or venooclusive) and may also have an important role in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the vascular parameters and sexual satisfaction as established by a questionnaire.

Methods

Prospective, multicenter analysis of all patients who underwent a PDU between September 2018 and April 2021 in four centers, including patients who were >18 years old and underwent a PDU for ED, Peyronie's disease (PD) or other reasons
