Relationships between personality traits, seminal parameters and hormones in male infertility.

abstract：:Recent advances in the understanding of erectile physiology have improved the prompt diagnosis and treatment of priapism. During initial assessment, the physician must distinguish between veno-occlusive low flow (ischemic) and arterial high flow (nonischemic) in order to choose the correct treatment option for each ty...
