| | Erectile Dysfunction or Impotence - urologychannel |
| | Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner. | | | The term "erectile dysfunction" can mean the inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or the ability to achieve only brief erections. | | | Most men experience this at some point in their lives, usually by age 40, and are not psychologically affected by it. |

| | Cornell Urology - Erectile Dysfuntion Overview |
| | The definition of erectile dysfunction is “the consistent inability to obtain and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance,” therefore, consistency of ED is important. | | | In the penis the hose is represented by the erection arteries, which rapidly carry blood into the erectile bodies and the valve mechanism, while complicated in its structure, ensures that the blood is trapped inside the erectile bodies until ejaculation occurs or the sexual stimulus has passed. | | | The goal of the clinician should be to allow the patient to return to satisfactory sexual relations, and while resolution of erectile dysfunction is an important start, addressing and treating any secondary sexual dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation and/or loss of libido will likely be necessary to maintain patient satisfaction. |

| | Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction) |
| | Even if erectile dysfunction is caused by a physical problem, interpersonal, supportive, or behavioral therapy can be of help to a patient during all phases of the decision-making process regarding possible methods of treatment. | | | A useful approach is to administer a treatment for erectile dysfunction and then observe the response. | | | Sildenafil can be very effective in many of these men, especially those in which there is some erectile response and when the injuries are in the upper part of the spine. |

| | In the female, it involves the contraction of various muscles throughout the body, as well as the rhythmical contraction of the muscles of the vagina and uterus, which is produced by spinal reflexes. | | | The Viagra studies suggest that while the drug can increase blood flow to erectile tissue in females, this effect is not associated with an enhancement in sexual desire, arousal, or the ability to achieve orgasm. | | | It, therefore appears that in both of these conditions, the individual can be sexually excited, and nitric oxide can be formed, released from peripheral neurons, and induce smooth muscle relaxation in blood vessels of erectile tissue. |

| | One method of therapy for erectile dysfunction in which a medication is injected into the base of the penis causing increased blood flow to the penis. | | | This medication increases the blood flow to the penis by blocking a specific enzyme and relaxes the smooth muscles in the penis. | | | To maintain the erection, a tension ring must be used. |

| | The bulbs are either eliminated or the relationship to other cavernous tissue is not observed. | | | One of the reasons that the clitoris has not been described accurately may be because it is hidden behind bone and fat. | | | The results of these dissections showed that the erectile tissue, the clitoris, consists of a midline body, corpora, with a bilateral crura and separate bulbs which sit posterior to the body. |

| | Corpus cavernosum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A little blood enters the corpus spongiosum; the remainder engorges the corpora cavernosa, which expand to hold 90% of the blood involved in an erection, increasing both in length and in diameter. | | | The body of the clitoris contains erectile tissue in a pair of corpora cavernosa with a recognisably similar structure. | | | A corpus cavernosum is one of a pair of a sponge-like regions of erectile tissue which contain most of the blood in the male penis during erection. |

| | The slide in our reference sets (e.g., the image at right) may not match this description, presumably because it represents a very immature organ (note the size) in which the erectile tissue is not yet fully developed. | | | Erectile tissue contains a specialized arrangement of arteries, shunts, and venous sinusoids within a matrix of connective tissue and smooth muscle, forming "a highly structured criss-crossing of interconnected fibers and spaces that are tensed as the cylinder expands during erection. | | | The skin includes a smooth muscle layer (the dartos). |

| | Large ligulae, however, may be advantageous if the intense sexual selection thought to occur among octopodids selects for large ligulae that can transfer more sperm at copulation. | | | This internal structure differs markedly from the dense, three-dimensional array of muscles and connective tissues in other octopodid ligulae. | | | The most familiar examples of erectile tissue are the genitalia of mammals, notably the penis and clitoris. |
