[Importance of patient's choice in the treatment of erectile dysfunction].

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects nearly one out of two men over age 45. ED is known to alter the quality of life of patients, and to affect significantly their sexual life and relations, as well as those of their female partners. Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5) inhibitors currently represent the reference treatment for ED, because of their efficacy and good tolerability.

[Management of erectile dysfunction in daily practice--PISTES study].

Introduction: Despite the improved knowledge on erectile dysfunction and its prevalence over recent years, no pharmaco-epidemiology study on the management of erectile dysfunction in daily practice has been performed.

Objectives: To determine and analyse the presenting complaints, aetiological diagnoses, and modalities of management of patients with erectile dysfunction.
