Summary/Abstract: Initially, traditional methods (aphrodisiacs i.e), behavioral methods, vacuum pumps, intracavernosal injections were applied in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Since 1998, PDE-5 inhibitors appeared to be the most efficient and safe treatment, that fulfills patients expectations. The cause of ED is a combination of bio-psycho-social factors. In many men, the appearance of ED is on early marker of different disease, i.e. cardiovascular, metabolic or depression. The first choice treatment in ED are PDE-5 inhibitors, that not only cure the disease but improve also the quality of life and relationship perceived by patients.
