Trigger - Male sexual dysfunction Flashcards
what contracts during ejaculation
epididymis
vas deferens
seminal vesicles
prostate
bulbocavernosus and ischiocavernoso
norepinephrine and endothelin play what role in male sexual function
mediates detumescence (smooth muscle contraction increasing venous outflow, restoring flaccid state)
failure to initiate erection can be due to what kind of cause
psychogenic, endocrinologic, neurogenic
failure to fill penile tissue is d/t what kind of cause
arteriogenic
what disease decreases NO synthesis?
DM
also causes vascular disease and neuropathy. basically kills erections from all three directions
this etiology results in inhibition of reflexogenic responses and/or increases in smooth muscle tone
psychogenic
relaxation of what allows increased blood flow into the penis and therefore erection
corpora cavernosa
what compresses venous return during an erection
trabecular smooth muscle
if a patient has no response to direct injection of vasoactive medication, what is suggested and what tests should be done to follow up
- respone = non-intact vasculature
should do duplex US, cavernosography, and arteriography
a patient with unstable CHF and untreated OSA is not eligible for what type of ED treatement
testosterone therapy
also not eligible:
- prolatinomas
- erythrocytosis
- any conditions suggesting prostate cancer or BPH
- breast cancer
which testosterone replacement therapy is expensive
topical cream
injectable is NOT the expensive type
which testosterone replacement therapy causes fluctuations in serum levels of testosterone
testosterone injections
spermatogenesis suppression is a SE of what ED treatment
testosterone replacement therapy
steroids, GnRH agnonists/antagonists and warfarin are all DDI for what ED med
testosterone replacement therapy
what medications MOA is to inhibit the degradation cGMP which allows sustained blood flow to the penis
PDE-5 inhibitors
