Medical know-how today allows for thorough examination and assessment of erection disorders. The doctor carrying out the examination focuses on detecting the underlying disease of which erectile dysfunction (ED) is a marker and the nature of which may be much more significant than ED itself. However, the detecting and treating of the disease associated with ED usually does not resolve the problem. The management of ED as such is based on the options which there are for the patient in line with the principle of choosing a less invasive therapy as the preferred option. Diabetes (DM) is one of the metabolic syndrome (MS) diseases which have a high rate of associated ED.
