[Erectile dysfunction: a missed opportunity?].

: The increasing of andrological valuation for erectile dysfunction (ED), happened in the last ten years, and induced chemical industries and sanitary system to supply correct answers from cultural, diagnostic and therapeutic views. All these events allowed the people to approach easily to uro-andrological valuations. This situation is perhaps a unique way to involve a great number of men in a wide uro-andrological screeening, that is useful, with a total patient and couple involvement, not only for a ED causes research, but also for incidental pathology screening (neoplastic or dismethabolic). Even if more expensive than a simplified diagnostic ED protocol (95% of the patients accept it, if there is a good counseling), this way of diagnostic valuation permit to hit the targets and to add permanently andrology to scientific specialty, as the science that studies the sexuality behaviour of the man and all its pathology.
