Abstract
Fifteen chronic alcoholic male patients with impotence have been investigated with the electrophysiological method of sympathetic skin potentials recorded from the genital skin and with the electrically induced bulbocavernosus reflex. Both electrophysiological tests did not differ from those of normal controls. It was proposed that there is no obvious role of the peripheral neuropathic factors in the pathogenesis of impotence in chronic alcoholism.
