Idiopathic anejaculation treated by vibratory stimulation.
Idiopathic anejaculation is a rare cause of infertility usually treated by psychotherapy. However, electrovibration may be a simple, noninvasive adjunct to the treatment of this disorder. In our two cases, we obtained ejaculate adequate for insemination in one patient and noted some gain in orgasmic sensation in the other. The success in these two infertile patients who had already undergone lengthy psychotherapy is promising. Nevertheless, psychotherapy will continue to be the standard of therapy until we have more experience with penile electrovibration.
