This ISSM Webinar will be about New therapies for ED.
Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions, and therapeutic options are heavily advertised. But does excessive advertising and a desire for new treatments translate into actual efficacy? Or, is sexual medicine at risk of being overwhelmed with biased, non-evidence based, and minimally-effective approaches. This webinar will focus on restorative therapies for ED and will include a review of current evidence and recommendations regarding their use.
