| Abstract: |
This chapter about male sexual dysfunction is from an updated edition of a comprehensive textbook about urology that offers an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders common to the genitourinary tract. The authors note that advances in pharmacologic therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED), coupled with a better understanding of male sexual dysfunction achieved through research on the mechanism, neurophysiology, and pharmacology of penile erection, have resulted in greater numbers of patients seeking primary and specialty care for sexual concerns. Erectile function can now be evaluated by response to oral drug agents at home or intracavernous injection of vasoactive agents in the office, and improved diagnostic tests can differentiate among types of impotence. Topics covered include the physiology of penile erection, innervation of the penis, anatomy and hemodynamics of penile erection, the mechanism of penile erection, hormones and sexual function, neurotransmitters and pharmacology of erection, the molecular mechanism of smooth-muscle contraction and relaxation, signal transduction in penile erection, the epidemiology of male sexual dysfunction, the classification of ED, diagnosis and treatment, advanced testing for ED, the nonsurgical treatment of ED, penile vascular surgery, penile prosthesis, and male sexual dysfunction involving emission, ejaculation, and orgasm. The chapter is illustrated with black-and-white drawings and photographs. The chapter concludes with an extensive list of references, categorized by topic. 6 figures. 6 tables. 77 references. |
