Use of Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors in Patients with Penile Artery Occlusion
Main Article Content
Abstract
Penile artery occlusion is a vascular condition that can lead to erectile dysfunction, significantly affecting a patient's quality of life and psychological well-being. This comprehensive review explores the epidemiology and clinical significance of penile artery occlusion, emphasizing the substantial impact it has on patients' sexual health. The theoretical framework delves into the definition of penile artery occlusion, identifies risk factors contributing to its development, discusses potential complications, and outlines current management strategies. The discussion section evaluates the use of phosphodiesterase inhibitors as a therapeutic approach in patients with penile artery occlusion, providing insights into their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of a personalized approach to managing this condition, with phosphodiesterase inhibitors as a valuable option.
