With the exception of forensic medicine and psychiatry, medicine has not historically been substantially influenced by sexology. After Freud and psychoanalysis grappled with sexual facts, a sociological phase ...
A pharmacological oral treatment has been systematically prescribed for one month in 110 unselected impotents patients: Trazodone (75 mg/d) associated with Moxisylite (180 mg/d), + Trazodone (25 mg) and Moxisy...
Penile erection is a muscular and vascular event mediated by the autonomic nervous system. The neurophysiology of erection remains poorly understood and controversial, requiring a suitable model for in-vitro s...
Some causes of infertility can be prevented, as is the case for infertility of infectious origin. Genital infections represent a major source of infertility. Prostato-epididymitis consecutive to an urinary inf...
Sub-zonal insemination (SUZI) was evaluated, in a randomized prospective study, as a treatment for certain specific types of male factor infertility. Patients were classified according to the results of an ext...
Brief psychodynamic or interpersonal therapeutic techniques, which were developed mainly in the UK and USA, are either derived from psychoanalysis or are closely related to it. The use of standardized methods ...
The authors have reviewed their management of 220 patients presenting with retarded ejaculation or psychogenic anejaculation between 1973 and 1992. There are three current management approaches: mechanical tre...
Twenty-five patients who had received a penile prosthesis between 1982 and 1991 responded to a postal follow-up questionnaire. Some men reported pain, urinary problems, loss of penile sensitivity, discomfort a...
Erection and ejaculation can be induced by two forms of stimulation. The first is mechanical: touching of the penis, scrotum and anus stimulates the pudendal nerves and a reflex erection appears via the parasy...
Local mechanisms causing penile erection and detumescence result from variation in tone of vascular and trabecular smooth muscles and in a lesser part of striated muscles around the crura penis. All these even...
The management of posterior urethra injuries is still subject of controversies. Some authors recommend primary or deferated emergency repair operation, while some others wait for about three months and repair ...
The use of transmission electron microscopy in clinical andrology is complicated by problems of classification and interpretation related to the extraordinary pleomorphism of human spermatozoa, even in fertile...
The molecular analysis of clinical syndromes involving androgen insensitivity has been facilitated by the availability of increasingly powerful molecular biological techniques. Complementary DNA of the androge...
Following overviews of the structure of DNA, the organization of the human genome, and a description of the process of gene transcription, the second part of this review considers the principal molecular biolo...
Some causes of infertility can be prevented, as is the case for infertility of infectious origin. Genital infections represent a major source of infertility. Prostato-epididymitis consecutive to an urinary inf...
A litterature review reports the spermatotoxicity of the different antineoplasic therapies. Recovery of spermatogenesis after completion of most toxic treatments and its delay are individually unforeseen. Preg...
Our knowledge of gamete interaction in vitro and in vivo has grown rapidly over the last century. Its importance has been reinforced by the development of in vitro fertilization and assisted conception procedu...
Considered as the most common male sexual problem, premature ejaculation is characterized by the absence of control over the ejaculatory reflex with a correspondingly poor perception of sexual arousal and plea...
The basis of cognitive therapy is an analysis of the way an individual thinks and perceives in order to analyse what will affect his feelings and behavior. The patterns of thoughts will determine in which way ...
Whether varicocoele should be treated while the patient is young remains controversial in spite of the high prevalence of this problem and the fact that it is believed by many to be a causative factor in male ...
A Significant number of sterile men suffer from complete azoospermia, in many cases due to mechanical obstruction of the epididymis. A precise prevalence of such cases is difficult to determine because patient...
During the past decade, various imaging method have been developed which can be used to study the male reproductive tract. Ultrasonography, especially using high frequencies (7.5 or 10 MHz) and transrectal pro...
The biochemical analysis of seminal plasma provides information on the functional status of the male accessory glands. A semen analysis evaluates the relative contribution of these various secretions as well a...
During the last few years assisted reproductive technology has seen the introduction of oocyte micromanipulation and sperm microinjection as therapeutic approaches for severe male factor infertility. However, ...
It is now possible to evaluate each specific function of the spermatozoon by diagnostic testing. These tests, which are correlated with the outcome of male factor IVF, are unnecessary in routine practice. Howe...
Numerous animal studies have shown that elevated testicular, scrotal or ambient temperature induces alterations in spermatogenesis that reduce fertility. In this study, fertilization rate and embryonic mortali...
Because spermatogenesis is typically normal in men with bilateral agenesis of the vas deferens, epididymal sperm recovery for subsequent use in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has recently been proposed for such ...
Normal sexual development in man is the consequence of a complex process. This review focuses on the translation of genedal sex (XX or XY karyotype) into gonadal sex (testis or ovary). During the last three ye...
Although the existence of heat exchange between the testicular artery and the adjacent veins is well known, it may be insufficient to maintain the lower temperature of the testis. In order to investigate the r...
The epididymis and vas deferens constitute not only a simple conduit for sperm transport but also play an important physiological role in the development of sperm fertilizing ability. The epithelial compartmen...
If real priapism is relatively rare, prolonged erection resulting from intracavernous injections is a more and more frequent andrologic emergency. Its diagnosis only rests on physical examination. It requires ...
The sexual problems of the patients with renal failure seem to us a good example of the relationship between sexology and somatic diseases. Multidisciplinary work seems necessary, between somatic physicians, p...
To date only 3 pregnancies have been reported following treatment of emission failure. We report the fourth one obtained from a male with an history of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. Pharmacological treatmen...
The structural quality of sperm chromatin of 101 semen samples used in IVF was studied by a simple method. The embryo-cleavage is significantly lower when more than 20% of the spermatozoa show an abnormal chro...
We have examined the IVF results in couples in which the husband had low fructose level as the only abnormal semen parameter. Oocyte cleavage level and pregnancy rate were not different in this group when comp...
A comparative study between three methods of semen analysis reveals that the full automated CMA system gives higher values for sperm concentration than the mean of the three methods, probably due to misclassif...
Epithelial cells of mammalian epididymis produced acid and neutral α-glucosidases (α-G) which are either modulated by hormonal systemic influences or by local factors arising from the rete testis fluid. In thi...
The role of the pineal gland and of its main hormone, melatonin, has not yet been clearly defined. The best known activity of the gland is antigonadal, at least in the experimental animals. In fact, the admini...
