Abstract

Increases in penile circumference during sleep-related erections in human subjects closely reflected increases in penile blood flow, and bursts of activity in the bulbocavernosus and ischiocavernosus muscles were temporally related to these increases. The penile arterial system and the perineal muscles appear to have important coordinated roles in human penile erection. Monitoring sleep-related erections and penile blood flow holds promise for the study of erectile mechanisms and dysfunction and for screening of drugs.

Flat Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) shows promise as a promising treatment option for individuals with symptomatic erectile dysfunction.

Sexual dimorphism through androgen signaling; from external genitalia to muscles

Androgen signaling plays a crucial role in the sexually dimorphic development of the genital tubercle, and its potential role in regulating sexual dimorphism in muscle development remains unclear.

Pelvic-floor muscle rehabilitation is beneficial in treating erectile dysfunction, but its effects on premature ejaculation symptoms require more detailed clinical trials.

Nonmyocytic androgen receptor regulates the sexually dimorphic development of the embryonic bulbocavernosus muscle.

The nonmyocytic androgen receptor plays a crucial role in regulating the sexually dimorphic development of the embryonic bulbocavernosus muscle, possibly through inhibiting p21 expression in myoblasts.
