Directed Clinical History and physical examination in patients with erectile dysfunction: Clinical features we cannot forget. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2010, vol.63, n.8, pp.679-686. ISSN 0004-0614.

Objectives: We aim in this work to establish directions for data collection in the chart of the patient with erectile dysfunction (ED), to characterize the presenting problem, reveal possible associated risk factors, evaluate the need of additional complementary tests, and decide if a multidisciplinary approach is necessary. Methods: Bibliographic review about directions and recommendations on initial and clinical management of ED. Conclusions: Sexual history is the most important part of the basic routine with a patient with ED, and the purpose of the andrologist is to identify the type of sexual dysfunction, time of start, severity, duration, and treatment expectations.
