Erectile Dysfunction
Treatments for erectile dysfunction may
include phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors,
intracorporeal or intraurethral prostaglandins,
vacuum devices, or penile
prostheses. Interventions for other manifestations
of autonomic neuropathy are
described in the American Diabetes Association
(ADA) statement on neuropathy
(78). As with DPN treatments, these interventions
do not change the underlying
pathology and natural history of the disease
process but may have a positive impact
on the quality of life of the patient.
