Although the overall incidence of erectile dysfunction in the general population between the ages of 40 and 70 years is 52%, men with diabetes mellitus have impotence at an earlier age and with a significantly higher prevalence, ranging as high as 75%. Numerous advances have been made in understanding the physiologic and biochemical mechanisms controlling penile erection. Improved clinical techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of impotence, including dynamic vascular testing, intracavernosal pharmacotherapy, and microsurgical revascularization, have allowed us to enter a new and exciting era in the quest for a more complete understanding of erectile dysfunction.
虽然40至70岁普通人群中勃起功能障碍的总体发病率为52%，但糖尿病男性在更早的年龄就出现阳痿，且患病率显著更高，高达75%。在理解控制阴茎勃起的生理和生化机制方面已经取得了许多进展。用于阳痿诊断和治疗的临床技术得到了改进，包括动态血管检测、海绵体内药物治疗和显微外科血管重建，这使我们在寻求更全面理解勃起功能障碍方面进入了一个新的、令人兴奋的时代。
