Androgen deficiency in the aging male is poorly understood. The objective of this study will be to determine the role of testosterone and DHEA in enhancing sexual interest and sexual performance.
120 men with a diagnosis of Erectile dysfunction (ED) will be randomized to one of three arms in the study, DHEA (50 mg), testosterone [T] (80 mg) or placebo. Patients will be evaluated after starting blinded medication at 30 day intervals for a total of 90 days. Response will be evaluated with blood parameters, physical examination including rectal examination, validated questionnaires and global assessment scales.
