Organic disorders account for the majority of all cases of erectile dysfunction. Because adequate arterial blood supply is critical for erection, any disorder that affects blood flow may be a cause for erectile dysfunction. Hormonal and psychological factors may also play a role. Most cases of erectile dysfunction are multifactorial in etiology, with organic and psychologic aspects. This requires a multidisciplinary approach to assessment and treatment.
Erectile dysfunction is a widespread and under-reported disorder affecting millions of men.
With the aging of our population and the age-related comorbid conditions, this problem is only going to increase in magnitude. Hopefully, in the near future, noninvasive products will be developed to further aid in the treatment of this devastating disorder. Until then, the well-educated pharmacist is in a good position to help these patients maximize their outcomes through the use of appropriate therapeutic options. The Pill Box Pharmacy.
