    ABSTRACT

    The objective of this review is to highlight the common conditions of erectile dysfunction, impotence and infertility that affects majority of world’s men population. To overcome the distress, unhappiness, and relationship problems, men throughout the world resorts to avail any therapy that can make their partners happy and overcome the inability to conceive. In this context, an attempt is made to focus the etiological factors, including (I) pathology of the disease (ii) addiction to alcohol and smoking habits and (iii) the adverse effects of some synthetic and natural drugs. Different available treatment modalities have been described and the toxicological manifestations of the erectogenic drugs have been discussed. Synthetic drugs are well-known for their side effects and the undesirable effect of natural drugs has not been thoroughly worked out on the assumption that they are harmless. Nevertheless, since the erectogenic drugs are a sure way to a possible conception, the adverse effects of such drugs could result in deterioration of the future generations resulting in physically crippled and mentally retarded children, in addition to syndrome menace in human population. Finally it is concluded that doctors prescribing erectogenic drugs should have a thorough knowledge of the literature on undesirable effects of such drugs. The erectogenic drugs (whether, synthetic or natural) should be regulated by strict protocols before they are available for human consumption.
