Background: Premature ejaculation (PE) is linked with abnormal brain activity that is modifiable by electroacupuncture (EA).
Aim: In this study we aimed to explore the central pathological mechanism underlying EA in treating PE.
Methods: Six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a PE group (n = 8) and a control group (n = 8) according to ejaculatory frequency during copulatory behavior.
Article Synopsis
- - Peyronie's disease (PD) involves the formation of fibrous plaques in the penis, leading to curvature and other complications; this study tests four injectable agents to create a rat model for PD.
- - TGF-β1 and fibrin injections caused pathology without curvature, while STS combined with TGF-β1 led to severe issues including necrosis and animal deaths.
- - The combination of polidocanol (POL) with TGF-β1 produced similar pathological effects and curvature as STS + TGF-β1 but with fewer complications, suggesting it may be the safest and most relevant option for PD research.
Recent research has highlighted structural and functional abnormalities in the cerebral cortex of patients with premature ejaculation (PE). These anomalies could play a pivotal role in the physiological mechanisms underlying PE. This study leveraged functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a noninvasive technique, to explore these neural mechanisms.
