Disorders of the Male Reproductive System01:20

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

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. Symptoms...
Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation01:17

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

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...
Sex Linked Disorders01:43

Sex Linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...
Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors01:28

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors

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...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Sexual Medicine
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a complex and often overlooked area of sexual health.
  • The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) categorizes FSD into four distinct diagnoses: sexual pain disorder, sexual interest/arousal disorder, orgasmic disorder, and medication/substance-induced sexual dysfunction.
  • Historical research on female sexual function provides context for current understanding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review early studies on female sexual function.
  • To describe the subtypes of FSD, including their causes, at-risk populations, and available treatments.
  • To discuss pharmacological, behavioral, and physical therapy interventions for FSD.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed.
  • Relevant keywords were employed to identify pertinent studies.
  • Citations from original research were also utilized to gather information.

Main Results:

  • Evidence supports multiple treatment modalities for FSD, tailored to specific DSM-5 diagnoses.
  • Randomized clinical trials demonstrate efficacy for various pharmacological and therapeutic interventions across FSD subtypes.

Conclusions:

  • Effective treatment of FSD necessitates a collaborative, team-based approach involving partners, therapists, psychiatrists, and physical therapists.
  • Pharmacological interventions may be appropriate adjuncts to therapy.
  • While progress has been made, further research is needed to standardize measurement tools and include diverse populations like transgender and lesbian women.
