Abstract:
Impotence is a common complication of diabetes. 4I diabetic impotent patients were evaluated by audiovisual stimulation penogram. pudendal somatosensory evoked potential (SEP), bulbocavernous reflex latency (BCRL), selective angiogram, erection penogram and nocturnal penile tumescence. This study suggests that neurogenic, vasculogenic and psychogenic abnormalities were prominent etiology in diabetic impotence. Penile prothesis is an adequate treatment for organic impotence and refractory psychogenic impotence.
