Summary
A new inner condom surgical technique effectively treats premature ejaculation. This safe procedure significantly prolongs intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) with no serious complications.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Andrology
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common male sexual dysfunction.
- Current treatments for PE have limitations, necessitating novel approaches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel inner condom surgical technique for primary premature ejaculation.
- To assess the impact of the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) inner condom on intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT).
Main Methods:
- A total of 20 males with primary PE underwent surgery.
- An inner condom crafted from acellular dermal matrix (ADM) was implanted into a subcutaneous penile pocket.
- Intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and perioperative complications were monitored.
Main Results:
- The average IELT significantly increased from 0.67 to 2.37 minutes post-surgery (P=.009).
- No serious perioperative complications or adverse psychosexual effects were reported.
- Patients resumed sexual activity six weeks after the procedure.
Conclusions:
- The novel ADM inner condom technique is a safe and effective surgical option for treating primary premature ejaculation.
- Further research in diverse patient cohorts is warranted to confirm these findings.

01:17Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation
20.2K
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.

198.3K
In contrast to passive transport, active transport involves a substance being moved through membranes in a direction against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport and secondary active transport. Primary active transport utilizes chemical energy from ATP to drive protein pumps that are embedded in the cell membrane. With energy from ATP, the pumps transport ions against their electrochemical gradients—a direction...

60.5K
Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

01:06Primary Production
25.2K
The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.

Primary distribution systems deliver electrical power from substations to consumers through various voltage classes, with 15-kV class voltages being predominant among U.S. utilities. Older 2.5- and 5-kV classes are being replaced by 15-kV primaries, while higher 25- to 34.5-kV classes are used in high-density urban areas and rural regions with long feeders. Three-phase, four-wire multigrounded systems are widely employed for balanced power delivery, using the neutral wire as a grounding point.

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
994
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
