Male Sexual Dysfunction
What is Male Sexual Dysfunction?
Problems with:
- Erections
- Ejaculatory difficulties
- Unsatisfactory levels of sexual activity
- Low sexual desire
Specifically, such dysfunctions are:
- Impotence
- Premature ejaculation
- Retarded ejaculation
- Marital problems
These may occur in single or married men of all age groups.
What causes Male Sexual Dysfunction?
Current medical research indicates that in approximately 80% of
men the problem is due to physical causes. These include: Physical
Causes:
- Diabetes
- Side effects from medication, particularly blood pressure
and antidepressant medications
- Atherosclerosis
- Hypertension
- Hormonal disorders
- Alcohol
- Recreational drugs
- Neurological illness or injury
- Metabolic diseases
- Kidney diseases
- Structural genital problems
- Abdominal, pelvic or genital surgery
- Smoking
Psychological Causes:
- Performance anxiety
- Fear of intimacy
- Stress
- Marital problems
- Anxiety
- Depression
Diagnostic Testing
Diagnostic testing employed by the Association utilizing new and
sophisticated methods to determine the cause of the dysfunction
are:
- Penile Arterial Blood Flow Studies
to measure if enough blood is delivered to the penis during
an erection
- Duplex Doppler Ultrasound
- Intracavernous Vasoactive Agents (Pharmacologic stimulation)
- Penile Plethysmography
- Pudendal Arteriography
- Venous Studies
to identify an abnormal leak causing premature softening of
the penis
- Cavernosometry
- Cavernosography
- Neurological Studies
to determine if the nerves involved with the erections are functioning
normally
- Biothesiometry
- Stimulus Evoked Response
- Electromyography
- Axial Rigidity Testing
Axial Penile Rigidity testing
- Axial Penile Rigidity testing
using the Androline Rigidometer
- Hormonal Studies
to determine if there are abnormal hormonal levels
- Testosterone
- Prolactin
- LH
- FSH
- Thyroid and adrenal studies
The selection of diagnostic studies is made with the patient's
specific problem and his desires considered. The patient's partner
is encouraged to participate in the evaluation and treatment selection.
Most men do not require all of the above tests. Appropriate treatment
choices are reviewed and selected based on the patient's wishes.
Treatment Approaches
Medical Treatments With the development of advanced medical
techniques, approximately 90% of patients of all ages are helped
without surgery.
- Oral Medication: Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra),
and Tadalafil (Cialis) are FDA approved medications for erectile
dysfunction. Erection occurs after arousal.
- Intraurethral Insert: Prostaglandin E-1/Alprostadil (Muse)
is a new FDA approved intraurethral insert that provides an
erection.
- Vacuum Erection Device: an external device that is used
to get an erection
- Intracavernosal Pharmacologic Agents: a painless self-injection
into the penis of one or a combination of Papavarine, Phentolamine,
Prostaglandin E-1 just before an erection is desired.
- Endocrine Therapy: topical patches or injectable treatment
for a hormonal condition.
Surgical Treatments
- Penile Implant: an internal device that is permanent and
makes the penis hard enough for penetration. There are several
types with different features. With the currently available
state-of-the-art implants, a success rate of almost 95% may
be expected.
- Penile Arterialization: rerouting blood to the penis
- Venous Ligation: tying off leaky veins.
Treatment
for Psychogenic Dysfunction for Individuals and Couples
- Marital and Family Therapy
- Sex Therapy
- Psychotherapy
- Psychopharmacotherapy
- Intraurethral Insert (Muse)
- Prostaglandin E-1 (Caverject)
- Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil
(Levitra), and Tadalafil (Cialis)
