Moncada, A. Salonia, Y. Vardi, E. Wespes Eur Urol 2006 May;49(5):806-15 Eur Urol 2010 May;57(5):804-14 Eur Urol 2012 Sep;62(3):543-52 ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION Definition, epidemiology and risk factors Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to attain and maintain an erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sex- ual performance. Although ED is a benign disorder, it affects physical and psychosocial health and has a significant impact on the quality of life (QoL) of sufferers and their partners. There is increasing evidence that ED can be an early mani- festation of coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease; thus, ED should not be regarded only as a QoL issue but also as a potential warning sign of cardiovascular disease includ- ing lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, hypercholesterolaemia, and the metabolic syndrome. The risk of ED may be reduced by modifying these risk factors, particularly taking exercise or losing weight. Another risk factor for ED is radical prostatec- tomy (RP) in any form (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) because of the risk of cavernosal nerve injury, poor oxygenation of the corpora cavernosa, and vascular insufficiency. 130 Male Sexual Dysfunction Diagnosis and work-up Basic work-up The basic work-up (minimal diagnostic evaluation) outlined in Fig. 1 must be performed in every patient with ED. Due to the potential cardiac risks associated with sexual activity, the three Princeton Consensus Conference stratified patients with ED wanting to initiate, or resume, sexual activity into three risk categories.

    2017­6­17 Premature Ejaculation: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology This site is intended for healthcare professionals Premature Ejaculation Updated: Mar 15, 2016 Author: Samuel G Deem, DO; Chief Editor: Edward David Kim, MD, FACS more... OVERVIEW Practice Essentials Premature (early) ejaculation is the most common sexual disorder in men younger than 40 years, with 30­70% of males in the United States affected to some degree at one time or another. It has historically been considered a psychological disease with no identified organic cause. Signs and symptoms Premature ejaculation can be lifelong or acquired. With lifelong premature ejaculation, the patient has experienced premature ejaculation since first beginning coitus. With acquired premature ejaculation, the patient previously had successful coital relationships and only now has developed premature ejaculation. Patient characteristics in lifelong premature ejaculation can include the following: Psychological difficulties Deep anxiety about sex that relates to 1 or more traumatic experiences encountered during development In patients with lifelong premature ejaculation, inquire about the following: Previous psychological difficulties Early sexual experiences Family relationships during childhood and adolescence Peer relationships Work or school General attitude toward sex Context of the event (eg, marital versus nonmarital) Sexual attitude and response of the female partner Nonsexual aspects of the current relationship level of involvement of the sexual partner in treatment

Behavioral therapy and psychotherapy are both safe and effective methods of treating PE. Ancient Chinese fangzhongshu (sexual skills and methods), which reflects a summary of expert experiences in sexology, contains many therapies for sexual dysfunction that are similar to those used in behavioral therapy or psychotherapy. A brief introduction dealing with the latest definitions of PE and treatment strategies drawn from behavioral therapy and psychotherapy is provided. Typical therapies for PE from ancient Chinese fangzhongshu are listed and briefly analyzed in order to define their domain of applicability and instructions for use. Ancient Chinese fangzhongshu contains many effective and safe therapies for PE. It should be incorporated into modern medical practice after critical analysis, and its scientific aspects should be promoted as a way of improving reproductive health, both to benefit individuals affected by PE and to promote traditional Chinese culture. Based on an analysis of the condition of the individual patient, one or multiple therapies guided by fangzhongshu can be expected to have an effect on the patient.

  • Male Fertility Following Spinal Cord Injury: a Guide for Patients Second Edition
    Male Fertility Following Spinal Cord Injury: A Guide For Patients Second Edition By Nancy L. Brackett, Ph.D., HCLD Emad Ibrahim, M.D. Charles M. Lynne, M.D. 1 2 This is the second edition of our booklet. The first was published in 2000 to respond to a need in the spinal cord injured (SCI) community for a source of information about male infertility. At that time, we were getting phone calls almost daily on the subject. Today, we continue to get numerous requests for information, although these requests now arrive more by internet than phone. These requests, combined with numerous hits on our website, attest to the continuing need for dissemination of this information to the SCI community as well as to the medical community. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” This quote certainly holds true for the second edition of our booklet. In the current age of advanced reproductive technologies, numerous avenues for help are available to couples with male partners with SCI. Although the help is available, we have learned from our patients as well as our professional colleagues that not all reproductive medicine specialists are trained in managing infertility in couples with SCI male partners. In some cases, treatments are offered that may be unnecessary. It is our hope that the information contained in this updated edition of our booklet can be used as a talking point for patients and their medical professionals. The Male Fertility Research Program of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis is known around the world for research and clinical efforts in the field of male infertility in the SCI population.

  • A Man's Guide to Overcoming Premature Ejaculation
    A man’s guide to overcoming Premature Ejaculation Premature ejaculation affects up to 30% of men at some time in their lives yet remains an embarrassing condition which men are uncomfortable talking about. Our guide to premature ejaculation will give you the lowdown on what causes the condition, the impact it can have and advice on a variety of treatments. THE CAUSES of Premature Ejaculation How the condition can occur Premature ejaculation is a common male medical condition yet the precise causes are still not fully understood. Despite its prevalence among men, the subject is largely taboo but failure to talk about or confront the issue often serves to exacerbate the problem for sufferers. Defining what exactly constitutes premature ejaculation can be difficult as different men come at different times – but if it’s a serious concern for both partners then that’s a good working definition of premature ejaculation. This guide talks through the types, causes and impact of premature ejaculation, separates the facts from the fiction, and finally offers advice on the variety of treatments available to help sufferers manage the condition. Let’s start by looking at the two broad types of premature ejaculation: Primary/Lifelong Premature Ejaculation This is where a man has suffered from premature ejaculation since becoming sexually active. It occurs from the first sexual encounter and continues throughout life, and can be attributed to physical or psychological factors or may be hereditary. Primary premature ejaculation is often triggered by psychological impulses, such as conditioning, upbringing, or a traumatic sexual experience. www.doctorfox.co.uk Secondary/Acquired Premature Ejaculation This is when a man goes years without suffering any ejaculation problems but then either gradually or suddenly begins to experience premature ejaculation.

    International Journal of Impotence Research (2000) 12, Suppl 4, S80±S85 ß 2000 Macmillan Publishers Ltd All rights reserved 0955-9930/00 $15.00 www.nature.com/ijir Developmental status of topical therapies for erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction A Morales1* 1Queen's University, Department of Urology, Kingston General Hospital, Kingston, Ontario, Canada The most common of the sexual dysfunctions in men are premature ejaculation and impotence. Large strides have been made in the treatment of erectile disturbances but only limited and temporary successes have been achieved in the therapy of ejaculatory abnormalities. This manuscript examines the realm of topical therapy, its current limitations and the challenges that must be addressed if topical therapy is ever to have a niche in the urologist's treatment armamentarium. Topical agents for the treatment of premature ejaculation include anesthetics and herbal medications. The limited nature of the studies reported to date does not yet permit a reliable assessment of their ef®cacy. For the treatment of erectile dysfunction, some of the drugs administered by various other systemic routes appear to have some ef®cacy when delivered transdermally. Again, the studies and results are too limited for the urologist to develop a clear opinion about their ef®cacy. Further investigation of these drugs with the use of absorption enhancers is needed. International Journal of Impotence Research (2000) 12, Suppl 4, S80±S85. Keywords: erectile dysfunction; premature ejaculation; topical therapy; review Introduction Oral,1 intraurethral2 and sublingual3 administration of drugs have opened new and more acceptable avenues of therapy for ED.

  • Q.Can You Get Pregnant from Pre-Ejaculation? When During The
    answers to your questions about sex and relationships Plan B emergency contraception is 75% effective in preventing pregnancy up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse. Call Campus Health at 621-9202. Can you get pregnant from pre-ejaculation? Q. When during the menstrual cycle are you most likely to get pregnant? A. Yes, you can get pregnant from the pre-ejaculation (pre-cum). When a guy becomes aroused, the fluid that appears on the tip of the penis can contain sperm. While the pre-ejaculatory fluid doesn’t have as high of a concentration of sperm as semen, pre-cum may have enough of the little swimmers to make their way up the uterus and into the fallopian tubes to find an egg to impregnate. This question often arises when a guy penetrates a woman, but pulls out before he ejaculates inside her. Some people use this method (called withdrawal) as a form of birth control. The effectiveness rates for preventing pregnancy are about 81% for typical people using withdrawal. That’s a low “B”. While you might be content with that grade in your English class, it’s not a very good grade as far as contraception methods go. Of course, it is better than nothing. As to your second question, the answer isn’t so easy. In a “classic” menstrual cycle, ovulation occurs on Day 14 (Day 1 is when bleeding begins). The few days preceding and following ovulation are the most fertile time. The challenge is that many women don’t ovulate or menstruate on a regular schedule.
