dc.description.abstractIn this study, the efficiency of intracavernosal alprostadil + oral clomiphene citrate (CC) treatment in late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) accompanied by penile vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (PVED) in patients irresponsive to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor treatment was evaluated. A total of 31 patients with concurrent PVED and LOH were included in the study. The patients were given intracavernosal alprostadil (10-20 mu g) and oral CC (50 mg) every day for 12 weeks. Before and after treatment, a 15-question International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-15) questionnaire, Erection Hardness Score (EHS), Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP)2 and SEP3 levels were analysed, and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), total testosterone and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were measured. In all, 41.9% of patients had pure arterial deficiency, 19.3% had pure venous deficiency, and 38.7% had arterial + venous (mixed) deficiency. A significant increase was detected in total testosterone, FSH, LH and PSA values after treatment when compared to values before treatment (p < .001,p < .001,p p = .034 respectively). A significant recovery was observed in IIEF-15 subscores, EHS and SEP2-SEP3 results. In PVED patients accompanied by LOH, intracavernosal alprostadil and oral CC combination is an efficient, low cost, safely applicable and tolerable treatment.en_US
