The treatment of male impotence with HCG and PGE-1

Abstract

In the present work we have studied the success of HCG-PG-1 association in the treatment of male impotence. We recruited (January-June 1990) 60 patients suffering from impotence for at least six months, selected by means of appropriate inclusion criteria. They were subdivided into three groups after standard diagnostic screening. In the first group we employed therapy with HCG 5.000 U.l. a week for four months. In the second group we have made intracavernous pharmaco-therapie weekly with PGE-1 for the same period. In the third group we did both above - mentioned therapies associated. Anamnesics qualitative-quantitative criteria for numeral results determination were adopted. This association produced a better therapeutic result as regards single therapy, with rapid and durable progress and very good follow-up.
