Surgery is indicated when penile curvature prevents satisfactory sexual intercourse.
ED (the consistent inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection of sufficient quality for satisfactory sexual intercourse for at least 6 months [ 2]) was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and included six questions of IIEF-15 (n.1,2,3,4,5,15).
In another 12-week trial of 131 hypertensive men randomized (1 1 1) to receive nebivolol, atenolol, or atenolol and the diuretic chlorthalidone, the mean number of satisfactory sexual intercourses per month declined by 47 and 56%% in groups treated with atenolol and atenolol-chlorthalidone, respectively (p < 0.01, both), while it remained constant in the group treated with nebivolol [ 93].
Patients with newly diagnosed localized prostate cancer who choose surgery want cure and decent quality of life, namely, pad-free urinary control and, often, erectile function satisfactory for sexual intercourse.
The patient made a full recovery and reported a month later that his erections and intercourse was "satisfactory" (though that's something they should really be asking his sexual partners).
Although sexual intercourse was quoted as satisfactory in six of six cases, four of six patients sometimes experienced minor pain during sexual activity.
Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
However, there is a body of evidence suggesting that duration of erection, and hence duration of intercourse, may play a role in achieving a satisfactory sexual experience for the man and his partner.
Except for one patient who neither had regular sexual intercourse nor used the vaginal dilator, sexual intercourse was quoted as satisfactory in six cases (one patient still used the dilator only).
