Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction Is Common after Rectal Cancer Surgery: A Cohort Study.

Erectile dysfunction is a known late complication following surgery for rectal cancer. We aimed to determine the prevalence of erectile dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery and characterize it. This was a prospective observational cohort study.

Online ejaculation training programs promote non-evidence-based treatment of male sexual dysfunction.

Purposefully reducing the frequency of ejaculation, coined "semen retention", and the similar practice of "NoFap", have been popularized on social media. They are frequently accompanied by unsubstantiated claims of health benefits.

Variations in Low Intensity Shockwave Treatment Protocols for Erectile Dysfunction: A Review of the Literature and Guide to Offering Treatment.

Low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) for erectile dysfunction (ED) continues to gain popularity in both clinical practice and the academic literature. The majority of trials and meta-analysis studies have shown LiSWT to be low risk with a trend toward positive improvements in International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scores.

Effect of aerobic exercise on erectile function: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

The health benefits of regular aerobic exercise are well established, although there is limited high-quality evidence regarding its impact on erectile function.

To determine the effect of aerobic exercise on erectile function in men and to identify factors that may influence this effect.

Erectile Dysfunction: Current Best Practices.

Erectile dysfunction is a health condition that many men face in the United States. Nurses are primed to help men break the stigma; assess, manage, and treat the underlying factors; and educate men and their partner(s) regarding their health condition.

Platelet-rich plasma for erectile dysfunction: a review of the current research landscape.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain erection for satisfactory sexual performance. ED drastically reduces the quality of life for men and their partners and is commonly linked to comorbid conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Development of in silico models to guide the experimental characterisation of penile tissue and inform surgical treatment of erectile dysfunction.

This paper presents a computational study to investigate the mechanical properties of human penile tissues. Different experimental testing regimes, namely indentation and plate-compression tests, are compared to establish the most suitable testing regime for establishing the mechanical properties of the different penile tissues.

Symptomatic benefits of testosterone treatment in patient subgroups: a systematic review, individual participant data meta-analysis, and aggregate data meta-analysis.

Testosterone replacement therapy is known to improve sexual function in men younger than 40 years with pathological hypogonadism. However, the extent to which testosterone alleviates sexual dysfunction in older men and men with obesity is unclear, despite the fact that testosterone is being increasingly prescribed to these patient populations.

Stem cell therapy for erectile dysfunction: a systematic review.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that negatively affects men's quality of life. It can have various causes, including psychological, vascular, and neurologic factors. Existing treatments for ED mainly focus on symptom relief rather than addressing the underlying cause.

Genetically predicted cardiovascular diseases could increase the risk of erectile dysfunction: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) often appears concomitantly with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the causal relationship between ED and CVDs is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the causal effects between CVDs and ED using bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR).
