Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation01:17

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

22.7K
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....

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output01:22

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output

3.8K
Cardiac output (CO), the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute, is a parameter in cardiovascular physiology determined by stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume, the amount of blood pushed from one of the ventricles per heartbeat, is influenced by preload, afterload, and contractility.
Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...

Nursing management for a patient with arteriosclerosis involves a comprehensive approach focusing on lifestyle modification, disease monitoring, education, and symptomatic care. Here is an overview of effective nursing strategies:Assessment and Monitoring: Initial and ongoing assessments are crucial. Nurses must document the patient's medical history, including any hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other cardiovascular diseases. Assessments also cover family history and lifestyle...

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data

A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Sexual Health
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Stroke frequently affects patients' sexual functioning, both directly through neurological damage and indirectly via psychophysiological changes.
  • Despite patient-reported needs, sexuality remains under-addressed in stroke literature and rehabilitation programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive literature review on post-stroke sexual functioning.
  • To identify and review existing rehabilitation programs designed to address patients' sexual health needs after stroke.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature review was performed using the PubMed database.
  • Keywords included "stroke", "sexuality", "stroke characteristics", "hemisphere", "sexual", and "sexual dysfunction".

Main Results:

  • Significant associations exist between stroke and sexual dysfunction, desire, and satisfaction in both men and women.
  • The precise impact of neurological factors (laterality, location, severity) on sexual dysfunction is unclear due to mixed research findings.
  • Psychological factors significantly contribute to post-stroke sexual dysfunction, and limited intervention programs exist.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual rehabilitation should be an integral component of stroke patient care.
  • An interdisciplinary approach is recommended for effective sexual rehabilitation in stroke survivors.
