Erectile dysfunction is a distressing condition that may result from organic or psychological causes. Organic ED results from neurological, hormonal or vascular pathologies, and may also have drug-related causes. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are the most common vascular risk factors. Due to a reluctance of patients to mention ED, healthcare professionals should discuss sexual dysfunction with patients who have increased risk of ED. This article considers underlying aetiologies and outlines treatment options.

Key Words: erectile dysfunction • vascular disease • diabetes.
