Sexual function and erection capability among young men with spina bifida.

In a study of sexual function and erection capability, 15 young men with spina bifida were interviewed, underwent physical examination, and completed two consecutive night recordings of penile tumescence and rigidity with the Rigi-Scan (Dacomed Inc.). Eleven reported erections with stimulation. Rigi-Scan data showed that two subjects (both with lesions at the sacral level) had normal numbers and durations of erections, that seven others had abnormally brief and infrequent nocturnal erections, and that six had none. Ten subjects had at least 'some' glans sensation on physical examination. Self-reported erection capability was related to motor level and glans sensation. The number of nocturnal erections was related to sensory level. The study suggests that lower motor and sensory levels are associated with greater potential sexual function in males with spina bifida.

Obstetric anal sphincter injury ten years after: subjective and objective long term effects.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the long term effects of obstetric anal sphincter rupture. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: University hospital in Sweden. POPULATION: Eighty-two women from a prospective study from 1990 to compare anorectal function after third degree tear. METHODS: Women completed a structured questionnaire, underwent a clinical examination and anorectal manometry, endoanal ultrasound (EAUSG) with perineal body measurement. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Symptoms of anal incontinence, sexual symptoms, anal manometry scores and evidence of sphincter damage on EAUSG. RESULTS: Five women had undergone secondary repair and three were lost to follow up. Fifty-one women (80%) completed the questionnaire. Twenty-six out of 46 (57%) of the original study group and 6/28 (20%) of the original controls were examined. Incontinence to flatus and liquid stool was more severe in the study group than in controls. Flatus incontinence was significantly more pronounced among women with subsequent vaginal deliveries. Mean maximal anal squeeze pressures were 69 mmHg in the partial rupture group and 42 mmHg in the complete rupture group (P= 0.04). Study group women with signs of internal sphincter injury reported more pronounced faecal incontinence and had lower anal resting pressures (24 mmHg) than those with intact internal sphincters (40 mmHg) (P= 0.01). Perineal body thickness of less than 10 mm was associated with incontinence for flatus and liquid stools, less lubrication during sex and lower anal squeeze pressures (58 mmHg vs 89 mmHg, P= 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Subjective and objective anal function after anal sphincter injury deteriorates further over time and with subsequent vaginal deliveries. Thin perineal body and internal sphincter injury seem to be important for continence and anal pressure.

Sexual function after pelvic surgery in women.

To assess the prevalence of sexual dysfunction after pelvic floor surgery for nonmalignant conditions, a retrospective survey was performed. Replies from a postal survey were received from 66 of the 200 women canvassed. Dyspareunia developed in 10 patients who had never had it before the operation, however of those who had it preoperatively the pain stopped completely in 12 of 23. Reduced libido was noted in 16 of 54 (29%), reduced lubrication in 21 (38%), and reduced genital sensation in 10 (18%). Lack of information about the potential effects of surgery on sexual function was identified as a major deficit and of considerable concern to 35 of the 66 women. Sexual function after surgery should be evaluated more intensively, and the subject discussed openly before any contemplated operation.

Sexuality of alcoholic postmenopausal women: effects of duration of alcohol abstinence.

Little is known about the sexuality of alcoholic postmenopausal women, and even less is known about the influence of abstinence on self-assessed measures of sexual function. We now report findings in 60 postmenopausal women to whom a standardized questionnaire was administered. The responses provided information related to not only perceptions of sexuality, but also sexual behavior and performance. Women were categorized as alcohol abstinent (AA) for > 1 year (long AA, n = 33) or < 1 year (short AA, n = 27). There were no differences between the groups in age, age at menarche, age at menopause, or age at onset of heavy drinking and alcohol dependence. The mean response rate to 12 sexuality-related questions was comparable in the long AA and short AA groups (83.8% and 85.6%, respectively), and reflected the prevalence of having a regular sexual partner (76% and 85%, respectively). There were statistical differences between the two groups with respect to sexual desire, arousability, and responsiveness during alcohol abstinence, but not during alcohol dependence. Further, there were significant differences with respect to measures of current sexuality: higher proportions of long AA women reported sex being important, as well as their sexual life and intercourse being satisfying. Taken together, these findings suggest that alcoholic postmenopausal women abstinent from alcohol for longer than 1 year report greater satisfaction with the sexual aspects of their lives than women abstinent for a shorter period of time.

Successful treatment of citalopram-induced anorgasmia by cyproheptadine.

This is the first report of the use of cyproheptadine to treat anorgasmia induced by citalopram, a highly selective serotonine reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Total anorgasmia of a 47 year-old man who suffered from severe unipolar major depression was successfully treated without adverse effects. This case strengthens the impression that anorgasmia associated with SSRIs is related primarily to the serotonine reuptake inhibition and not to various receptor bindings of different compounds.

The burden of premature ejaculation: the patient's perspective.

Premature ejaculation (PE) remains an underdetected and under-treated condition, despite the advances in available treatment options. Men with PE often feel stigmatized by the condition and embarrassment is a key barrier to discussing the problem with healthcare professionals. Men with PE perceive themselves as having little control over ejaculation and this lack of control is mirrored in diminished satisfaction with sexual intercourse. The burden of PE is both emotional and physical. Premature ejaculation is associated with low self-esteem, anxiety, and feelings of shame and inferiority. In some studies there is an association with depression. Premature ejaculation places a significant burden on the patient-partner relationship and there is evidence to suggest that there is a higher prevalence of female sexual dysfunction associated with PE. Patients with PE often view the condition as purely psychological or as a problem that will resolve with time and many are unaware that medical treatment could be of benefit. This endorses the particularly important role of healthcare professionals in recognizing the barriers to patient diagnosis and promoting the view that PE is not only a common but also a treatable medical condition.
