Erectile dysfunction following external beam therapy: Latest studies support a progressively decreasing sexual
function in those men who have undergone external beam radiotherapy for
localized prostate cancer. The most common curative treatment options for men
with localized prostate cancer are radical prostatectomy, external beam
radiotherapy and interstitial permanent brachytherapy and radical
prostatectomy. There is a lack of prospective studies focusing on the sexual
quality of life of prostate cancer patients before and after a definitive
conformal radiotherapy from the patients' perspective.
The aim of this study was to assess prospectively the
incidence of erectile and predictive factors in a patient population treated
with the same radiotherapy technique and a homogenous dose level, without
antiandrogen treatment before radiotherapy or in the follow-up period. Patient
age, comorbidities, prostate volume, planning target volume, pre-treatment
sexual function and treatment of erectile dysfunction have been considered.
Results showed a progressively decreasing sexual function with longer
follow-up intervals due to chronic radiotherapy effects, patient age and
comorbidities. The best predictor for preserving erections sufficient for
sexual intercourse is the occurrence of spontaneous erections in the morning or
night, before treatment. Also noted was the fact that diabetic patients are not
only predisposed for erectile dysfunction before radiotherapy, but additionally
for post- radiotherapy acquired erectile dysfunction. Therefore the researchers advice that, treatment decisions should particularly consider the specific risk and toxicity profile before adminstration.
Cure Research discussion for Impotence:
Advances in suppositories, injectable
medications, implants, and vacuum devices have expanded the options for
men seeking treatment for impotence. These advances also have helped
increase the number of men seeking treatment.
An oral form of the drug phentolamine may soon join sildenafil in the
armamentarium of noninvasive treatments for impotence. Other treatments in
the experimental stages include reconstruction surgery for damaged veins
and arteries in the penis. Whether or not this method proves to be safe
and effective, ongoing improvements in traditional methods should continue
to create more successful and widespread treatment of impotence.
