Short-term intracavernous self-injection treatment of psychogenic erectile dysfunction secondary to sexual performance anxiety in unconsummated marriages

Erectile dysfunction (ED), the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse is traditionally considered an age dependent male dysfunctional disorder, resulting from the physiological changes associated with the aging process [ 1 ]. Previous surveys demonstrated an age associated 3-fold increased probability of ED in men between ages 20–60 [ 2 ]. However, in recent multinational studies, the prevalence of ED in young men (under 40) has been shown to be as high as 30% [ 3 ].
