Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation01:17

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

25.5K
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...

Pulmonary Hypertension: Classification and Pathogenesis

766
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe health condition in which the mean pulmonary arterial pressure increases to 25 mmHg or more, even when the body is at rest. This high pressure in the blood vessels that transport blood from the heart to the lungs can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, can lead to right heart failure, and significantly affect the overall quality of life.
There are various classifications for PH, each relating to different underlying causes and also...

Dysrhythmias II: Classification of Tachyarrhythmias01:28

Dysrhythmias II: Classification of Tachyarrhythmias

720
Tachyarrhythmias are a type of dysrhythmia where the heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute. Here are some common types of tachyarrhythmias:Sinus TachycardiaSinus tachycardia originates from increased impulses from the sinus node, leading to an elevated heart rate. It is often triggered by stress, fever, or exercise.Patients may experience palpitations, a sensation of a racing heart, dizziness, and chest discomfort.Causes and Risk Factors: Common causes include physical exertion, emotional...

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

1.1K
Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...

Sperm Transport01:15

Sperm Transport

4.4K
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...

Penis

34.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Sexual Medicine

Background:

  • Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most prevalent male sexual dysfunction.
  • A lack of standardized definition has historically hindered PE research and clinical interpretation.
  • Increased awareness of sexual dysfunctions has spurred scientific investigation into PE.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenges in understanding and researching premature ejaculation.
  • To establish a universal definition and classification for PE.
  • To promote an evidence-based approach for PE diagnosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent scientific literature on premature ejaculation.
  • Analysis of evolving diagnostic criteria and classification systems for PE.
  • Examination of the impact of a standardized definition on clinical practice and research.

Main Results:

  • A universal definition and classification for PE have been established.
  • Enhanced understanding of PE characteristics and patient profiles.
  • Improved ability for clinicians to identify patients requiring medical intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The establishment of a universal definition has clarified premature ejaculation (PE) as a distinct condition.
  • An evidence-based approach facilitates accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment for men with PE.
  • Further research is now better positioned to investigate this complex sexual disorder.
