title: [A new pathogenetic approach and a method of erectile dysfunction treatment and prevention--modulated erectile oxygenation of penile cavernous tissue].
abstract: The analysis of sexual activity of 185 male Muscovites has revealed an age-related sharp progressive shortening of adequate and spontaneous erections. A novel, pathogenetically sound approach and a method of therapy and prevention of erectile dysfunction has been developed (RF patent N 2228754). The method, called "Modulated Erectile Oxygenation of Penile Cavernous Tissue" (MEOPCT), consists in erection activation by behavioral measures and/or erectogenic drugs which induce adequate, nocturnal spontaneous and/or artificial erections adequate in frequency and duration for providing such oxygenation of cavernous bodies that warrants maintenance of their normal structure and function. There is no continuous close correlation between sexual activity and erections, on the one side, and ejaculation and orgasm, on the other side. Application of MEOPCT in 43 patients demonstrated the method ability to improve erection and cavernous hemodynamics without negative side effects.
