I am urged by whatever reason to respond to the statement that ED is 80% physical disease. If it is then I have the most distorted group of patients in Urology. I beleive that fact has been propagated mostly by the fact that insurance companies would only pay for treatment of "organic impotence". If you go back you will see a temporal relationship to suddenly finding out that ED is organic. Most of my ED patients have no significant organic relationship to their failure to have an erection ssatisfactory for intercourse. There are few significant testing mechanisms that will prove organic disease as a cause and rarely specifically. "vascular disease" Localized in the Penis? Every diabetic (oral meds, no neuropathy, no PVD) thinks his ED is organic because he read it in a magazine. Lots of smoke out there in the ED world. Gingseng Anyone. Ed
