ABSTRACT
The majority of men with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer from different types and degrees of erectile dysfunction (ED). The impact of SCL on erectile function depends on the severity and location of the injury. Some patients can restore the residual sexual potential in the period of SCI recovery. Treatments of ED in men with SCI include psychotherapy, medication of oral PDE5 inhibitors, intracavernous injection of vasoactive drugs, transurethral medication, application of the vacuum erectile device and penile ring, penile prostheses, sacral neuromodulation, etc., among which PDE5 inhibitors remain the first option and usually give good clinical results for those with higher SCI. However, intracavernous injection of vasoactive drugs and combined treatment are preferable for those with lower SCI.
