چکیده
There has been a tremendous increase in demand for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in the last 10 years.

The choice of treatments is increasing rapidly and novel delivery systems which may be more patient-friendly than intracavernosal injections are now becoming available. We review the published data on effectiveness and safety of the currently available treatments and discuss recent advances in oral therapy, as these drugs are likely to become available in the near future.
