Light and scanning electron microscopy was performed on the penes of Chacma baboons to establish their suitability as animal model for studying vascular impotence. Analogous aging penile vascular changes were found in man, and a fibrous trabeculopathy with intertrabecular senechiae was demonstrated. Considering the corresponding changes, the Chacma baboon could thus be regarded suitable for studying the pathophysiology of aging penile vascular changes.

LN18178 is a standardized, synergistic combination of fruit rind and seed extracts, which has been reported to increase serum testosterone levels in young and aging males. The present 84-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy of LN18178 on the sexual function of aging male volunteers (age: 40-70 years; serum total testosterone: ≥ 300 ng/dL). The subjects with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction [5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores 17-25] and low sexual desire (score < 3 on items 11 and 12 of IIEF) participated in this investigation.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effectiveness of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation following transperineal reanastomosis in men with vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after radical prostatectomy (RP), focusing on long-term explantation rates and urinary continence.

Methods: Patients treated between 2009 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Those undergoing AUS implantation post-transperineal reanastomosis for recurrent VUAS, excluding cases with prior pelvic irradiation and overactive bladder, were included.

Background: Penile constriction devices offer a noninvasive approach to enhance the sexual experience and as the variety of penile constriction devices increases, it is crucial to assess patient preferences and device effectiveness to provide insights into their clinical utility.

Aim: We aimed to compare the preferences for and effectiveness of two medical-grade penile constriction devices: Eddie by Giddy and FirmTech.

Methods: Between May and July of 2023, males were recruited via social media and prospectively enrolled into an Institutional Review Board-approved, randomized, questionnaire-based study.

Article Synopsis
  • A study investigated male sexual dysfunction (MSD) and hypogonadism in young men with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) aged 20-40 to understand its prevalence and links to diabetes factors.
  • Out of 70 participants, 60% experienced some form of MSD, with hypoactive sexual desire disorder being the most prevalent at 44.28%, followed by erectile dysfunction at 42.85%.
  • The research utilized various assessment tools, including questionnaires and hormonal tests, and employed statistical analyses to determine significance and associations among the collected data.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can stem from various organic and functional causes but is often linked to vascular health and cardiovascular disease. Limited data exist on how cardiovascular disease markers correlate with objective ED tests like the Nocturnal Penile Tumescence and Rigidity (NPTR) test and Penile Color Doppler Ultrasound (PCDU). : A prospective observational study was performed, and 58 men with ED were assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function-15 (IIEF-15), NPTR test, and PCDU.
