Background

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is characterized by Prolonged or ongoing issues with the sexual response cycle, causing personal distress. FSD affects roughly 30-50% of women globally, often impacting their quality of life. This may include conditions such as vaginismus, dyspareunia, vulvodynia, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, sexual interest and arousal disorder, anorgasmia, vaginal dryness, or others.

Background

Penile prosthesis implantation:

• Most popular treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) after medical intervention.
• Relatively high infection rate (1-3%), despite best efforts to improve surgical techniques and device coatings.
• In the case of infection, the device needs to be removed – regardless of whether it will be implanted again.

Background

Provoked Vestibulodynia (PVD) is pain to the touch at the vaginal opening. PVD is classified into two types:

Background

Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a connective tissue disorder that can result in penile deformities through the buildup of plaque, creating abnormalities such as curvatures of the penis in any direction. The reported prevalence of PD varies greatly, between 0.4-20.3%. Ventral (downward) curvatures demonstrate much lower rates (11-17% of all PD cases) than dorsal (upward) or lateral (sideward) curvatures. The common concern with reversing ventral curvatures is interference with the urinary system, so finding effective and safe ways to treat men with ventral PD curvatures is imperative to providing care.

Introduction

An inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is a permanent device that can be used to correct erectile dysfunction. However, despite constantly advancing surgical techniques, infection is still possible. This would require the removal and replacement of the device and is naturally a dreaded complication.

Introduction

Concomitant insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or COMISA, means insomnia and OSA occur at the same time, whether that’s long-term, or from time to time. Both conditions on their own have detrimental effects on overall and sexual health as well as one’s quality of life. These sleep disorders can contribute to issues such as heart problems, anxiety, depression, mood changes, and erectile dysfunction (ED).
