L’Endocrinologo Aims and scope

Riassunto

La disfunzione erettile (DE) è una condizione molto frequente, anche se spesso sottostimata. È un sintomo di varie patologie del corpo, della mente, o della coppia che il medico deve sapere indagare. L’inquadramento del paziente affetto da DE è semplice quando si sa cosa chiedere. L’Intervista Strutturata SIEDY quantifica attraverso 13 domande le componenti patogenetiche implicate nella genesi della DE (organica, relazionale e intrapsichica) permettendo, unitamente ad alcuni esami ematochimici, un orientamento diagnostico nella maggior parte dei casi. Esami strumentali di secondo livello devono essere richiesti solo in casi molto selezionati. Un trattamento farmacologico della DE deve essere proposto solo dopo che è stata formulata una diagnosi eziologica, in quanto un uso inappropriato di farmaci può risultare inutile e talvolta dannoso.
