Holistic approach to the management of erectile disorders in a male sexual health clinic.

A holistic view is given of the management of erectile disorders in a male sexual health clinic. Responsibility for the choice of treatment programme is shared with the patient, who makes informed consent. Involvement of the patient's partner is encouraged throughout. The increasing importance of good management for erectile dysfunction is indicated by the prevalence of the condition and the fact that, with a growing proportion of the population over the age of 65, it is age-related.
