Abstract:
For differential diagnosis of psychogenic from primary erectile dysfunction we investigated clinical spectrum of 110 unmarried impotent patients as a retrospective study ; Psychogenic impotent patients were 78 cases. and primary impotent patients were 9 cases. We concluded as follows; 1. 9 cases or primary impotent patients were all classified as abnormal group in AVS-Penogram. and 4 cases of venogenic or venogenic associated cases showed type IIB(unstable) subclassification. while psychogenic group showed abnormal classification in 66% (51/78). All or primary impotent group showed abnormal results of RigiScan especially with dissociation subclassification in 55.6% (5,9). meanwhile psychogenic group showed normal patterns in 92% (72,78). 2. The most common cause of primary erectile dysfunction was vasculogenic impotence, 88.9 %(8/9). Therefore. we can make confirmatory diagnosis of the rare primary erectile dysfunction in patients showing abnormalities in both nocturnal and erotic erection through full vascular studies.
