AB Since  the  introduction  of  oral  therapy,  erectile  dysfunction  (ED)  has  become  a  widely  publicized  disease.  These  agents  have  revolutionized  the  management  of  ED  and  helped  identify  patients  at  risk  for  developing  ED  and  other  associated  medical  conditions.  Since  the  erectile  bodies  of  the  penis  are  nothing  more  than  a  complex  vascular  structure,  it  has  become  evident  that  ED  dysfunction  may  represent  a  local  manifestation  of  widely  systemic  disease.  Evaluation  and  management  of  the  patient  with  ED  may  have  a  global  impact  on  the  overall  health.  With  that  in  mind,  this  chapter  represents  a  review  of  the  current  status  of  ED  diagnosis,  evaluation,  and  management.
