Summary
A specialized sexual function inspection room aids couples with penile insertion disorder. Observing erectile function and providing sensory stimuli helps overcome psychological barriers, enabling successful intercourse.
Area of Science:
- Andrology
- Sexual Medicine
- Psychosexual Therapy
Context:
- Patients with penile insertion disorder often experience psychological distress impacting sexual performance.
- The study addresses the challenges faced by couples where male erectile dysfunction leads to marital discord and potential divorce.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of a dedicated sexual function inspection room in managing patients with penile insertion disorder.
- To assess the role of visual feedback and sensory stimulation in improving erectile function and marital sexual activity.
Summary:
- Six couples with erectile dysfunction-related sexual insertion disorder were treated in a specialized inspection room.
- The room facilitated observation of penile erection (induced by tadalafil and assessed via Doppler ultrasonography) and provided sensory stimuli to wives.
- This intervention, combined with counseling, led to successful sexual intercourse in all couples within one month.
Impact:
- The sexual function inspection room offers a novel therapeutic approach for erectile dysfunction and related sexual disorders.
- This method can alleviate psychological burdens for both partners, improving confidence and marital satisfaction.
- Successful treatment of penile insertion disorder can prevent marital breakdown and enhance overall quality of life.

01:29Penis
The penis serves a dual role in sexual reproduction and urination. It consists of three main regions: the glans penis, the body, and the root, each with distinct functions and unique anatomical features.
Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...

01:17Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.

01:28Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
01:25Assessment of the Rectum and Anus
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.

01:23Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital
The genital stage is the final phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, beginning at puberty, around age 12. During this stage, sexual energy shifts from self-focused interests to external individuals, marking the development of mature adult sexuality. Freud saw this phase as a time of sexual reawakening, with desires directed toward others outside the family. A healthy transition into this stage, according to Freud, signifies the emergence of two key aspects of adult...
01:20Disorders of the Male Reproductive System
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
