Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation01:17

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

31.3K
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.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

5.2K
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.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry

9.4K
Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

Accessory Glands of the Male Reproductive System

The accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation include the epididymides, vasa deferentia, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra. These ducts play a critical role in the maturation, storage, and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis...

Sperm Transport01:15

Sperm Transport

5.5K
The journey of sperm from its origin to the point of ejaculation begins within the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Here, Sertoli cells produce fluid that propels non-motile sperm through a series of conduits, starting with the straight tubules leading to the rete testis. This interconnected network of tubules acts as the initial pathway for sperm, guiding them into the efferent ductules and then into the epididymis for maturation.
The maturation phase occurs in the epididymis, where sperm...

Accessory Ducts of the Male Reproductive System

The male reproductive system is a complex network of organs and tissues that work together to produce and transport sperm. The epididymis, vasa deferens, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra are the accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation. These ducts play a critical role in the production and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Sexual Health
  • Andrology

Background:

  • Premature ejaculation (PE) affects a significant number of men.
  • Adult circumcision is a procedure with potential effects on sexual function.
  • Understanding the impact of circumcision on ejaculation parameters is crucial for patient counseling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of adult circumcision on ejaculation parameters.
  • To examine the relationship between intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) and the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT).

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 30 adult males undergoing voluntary circumcision.
  • Measurement of IELT and administration of PEDT before and 3 months after circumcision.
  • Statistical analysis comparing pre- and post-circumcision parameters and evaluating correlations.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant increase in mean IELT (ejaculation time) was observed post-circumcision (P=0.001).
  • A statistically significant decrease in PEDT scores, indicating improvement in premature ejaculation, was noted (P<0.0001).
  • No significant correlation was found between changes in IELT and PEDT scores.

Conclusions:

  • Adult circumcision does not negatively impact ejaculatory function and may offer slight improvements.
  • Circumcision is not recommended solely as a treatment for premature ejaculation.
  • Further research may be needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms behind these findings.
