Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

10.1K
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

3.7K
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....

Penis

14.7K
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...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors

331
Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors are potent enzymes that function to hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides to their corresponding 5' monophosphates. Their unique biochemical properties have been applied in treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
Among the PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil (Revatio) stands out as a competitive and selective inhibitor. It operates by elevating cellular levels of cGMP and augmenting signaling through the cGMP-PKG pathway, promoting vasodilation. Upon oral...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Partial penectomy for penile cancer can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED). Older age, shorter penile length, and positive lymph nodes are associated with ED. Preserving penile length aids recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Sexual Medicine

Background:

  • Penile cancer treatment often involves partial penectomy.
  • Erectile function is a critical aspect of quality of life post-treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate erectile function after partial penectomy for penile cancer.
  • To identify factors influencing penile functional status post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 81 patients undergoing partial penectomy for penile cancer (2009-2014).
  • Prospective assessment of erectile function using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5).
  • Evaluation of clinical and pathological factors including age, tumor stage, and lymph node status.

Main Results:

  • 62% of patients experienced erectile dysfunction (ED) post-partial penectomy.
  • Older age, shorter penile shaft length, and clinically positive lymph nodes were significantly associated with ED.
  • Multivariate analysis confirmed these factors predict ED.

Conclusions:

  • Partial penectomy offers effective local control for penile cancer.
  • Erectile dysfunction is a common consequence requiring patient counseling.
  • Preserving penile length is crucial for optimal erectile function recovery.
