Factors in predicting initial in-office therapeutic dosages of alprostadil for the treatment of organic impotence.

The use of intracavernous penile injections of alprostadil for treating organic impotence is well-established. Using blood pressure measurements, especially systolic BP and MABP as measured in a flat supine position, the dosage of alprostadil required to achieve satisfactory erections in men with organic impotence can be predicted. This guidance can significantly influence the outcome of therapy by reducing the number of titrated diagnostic injections and the time required for the patient to achieve satisfactory results.

Impotence and perceived partner support.

Because impotence has both physiologic and psychologic components, it seems that impotent patients might benefit from a holistic approach to treatment that includes a medical regimen for physiologic factors as well as treatment for social and psychologic factors. The spousal relationship is one social and/or psychological factor. Often, a male experiences his sexual dysfunction as profoundly stressful while the partner finds it annoying or disturbing, but not threatening to the overall bond between them (Rust, Golombok, & Collier, 1988). This study was conducted to explore patient perception of the spousal (partner) relationship during admission to an erectile dysfunction clinic.
