Ultrasonic dopplerography of prostatic, scrotal and penile vessels before and after intake of levitra in a dose 10 mg was made in 22 patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis in combination with erectile dysfunction and after their combined levitra treatment for a month taken each other day. It was found that levitra accelerates arterial inflow to the prostatic gland, testicles and penis (even in the absence of sexual stimulation and erection). This evidence indicates a distinct vasculogenic effect of levitra on male genitalia. Thus, levitra is a promising drug in the treatment of chronic prostatitis, excretory infertility. It is recommended to take levitra regularly 2-3 times a week to manage vascular genital disorders.
