5년 전부터 경구혈당강하제를 먹고 있는 56세 남자로 발기부전을 주소로 비뇨기과 외래를 방문했다. 약 3$\sim$4년 전부터 성기의 강직도가 좀 떨어졌지만, 부부관계를 끝까지 할 수는 있었는데, 최근 1년 전부터는 관계 도중에 사정을 하지도 않았는데 발기가 소실되어 버리는 경우가 생겨 당황하게 되기도 하였다. 급기야는 발기가 제대로 되지 않아 부부관계를 전혀할 수가 없어서 몇 번 시도 하다가 실패한 후로는 시도조차하지 않고 지내고 있다고 한다. 정력에 좋다는 건강보조식품을 먹어도 별로 도움이 되지 않는 것 같아서, 친구에게서 얻은 비아그라를 한알 먹어 보았는데, 효과를 보지는 못했다고 한다. 간혹 새벽발기도 되는 때가 있고, 이전 같지는 않지만 마음이 동할때도 있지만, 몇 번의 좌절을 겪은 후라 선뜻 시도하기가 두렵다고 하였다. 성기능을 평가하는 설문인 국제발기능지수로 보았을 때 11점으로 중등도의 발기부전이었고, 기본적인 혈액검사와 남성호르몬 수치는 정상이었다. 위와 같은 경우가 당뇨병에 의한 발기부전의 가장 흔한 예 중 하나인데, 대개 발기력의 약화가 서서히 진행되고, 성관계의 실패로 몇 번 당황한 후로는 의기소침 해져서 잠자리를 멀리하게 된다. 남성호르몬 수치가 정상이고 새벽발기도 간혹 되므로 경구용 발기부전 치료제가 우선적으로 선택될 수 있다. 이전에 친구에게서 얻어 먹은 비아그라는 약이 진짜인지 가짜인지가 불분명 하고, 무엇보다 복용법을 정확히 지키지 않아서 효과가 없을 수 있다.

발기부전이란 과거에는 임포텐스라고 불리어 왔던 질환으로 임포텐스 보다는 발기부전이 정확한 명칭이다. 발기부전의 정의는 만족할 만한 성생활을 영위할 수 없을 정도로 발기가 안 되거나, 발기가 되도 끝까지 유지 못하는 상태가 지속되는 것이다.

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is the inability to attain and sustain an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. Frequent ED may be a symptom of health problems including heart disease, obesity, alcoholism, stress, smoking, and depression, that need treatment. This study aimed to effect of complex extract (CPL) including Cornus officinalis on sexual function factor in the erectile dysfunction rat model. The erectile dysfuction rat model was induced by cimetidine (500 mg/kg in 5% ethanol, oral injection 2 weeks). Rats were oral administered with different concentration of CPL in rat erectile dysfunction model. As a results, sexual function factors (NO, cGMP) significantly improved in CPL treated groups (CPL-300, 600, 900 mg/kg) compared to CON group. Serum testosterone was increased in a dose-dependent manner after CPL treatment. Furthermore, administrations of CPL restored lumen areas of the prostate in the erectile dysfunction rat model. These results indicated that CPL alleviated erectile dysfunction by increasing sexual function factor and testosterone in rat model. CPL could be used to natural treatement for erectile dysfunction. However, further study is required to identify active ingredient and its mechanism of erectile dysfunction.

당뇨병에 성기능장애가 많다는 것은 옛날부터 알려져 있지만 실제로는 그릇된 지식과 선입관에 의해 과장되게 잘못알고 있는 경우가 많다. 당뇨병이라고 모두 발기부전 환자는 아닌 것이며 정상 건강인보다 조금 높은 빈도를 보이는 것뿐이다. 식사요법과 운동요법으로 혈당조절을 잘하고 합병증을 예방하면 정상인과 다름없는 성생활을 할 수 있으며 인슐린 치료를 계속하면서 주의 깊게 혈당을 조절하고 합병증을 예방하면 60세 이후까지도 정상적인 성생활이 가능하다. 정상인도 노쇠하면 자연현상으로 언젠가는 모두 발기부전이 되므로 당뇨병환자만이 발기부전이 오는 것은 아니므로 미리 겁내고 불안해할 필요는 없는 것이다. 당뇨병환자중에는 선입관에 의해 당뇨라는 진단을 받고 정신적 충격과 그릇된 지식으로 심인성 발기부전에 빠지는 사람이 상당히 많다. 그러므로 당뇨병환자는 정상인보다 더 많은 노력을 하며 합병증의 병발을 미연에 방지하는 것이 가장 중요하다.

Children above age of two are able to have sexual excitement, and they actively seek the pleasure actively or passively through touch and masturbation. In late $60_s$ and early $70_s$, Masters, obstetrician, and Johnson, social worker, illustrated four phases of human sexual responses, namely excitement, plateau, orgasmic and resolution phases in both sexes, and multiple orgasms in the female. Their treatment principles of sexual dysfunctions were largely based on behavioral model, introducing the concepts of sensate focus, dual therapy and sex education. Following Masters and Johnson, Kaplan, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, in the early and mid-$70_s$ introduced new sex therapy which was based on the combination of analytically-oriented psychotherapy and behavior therapy, and classified sexual dysfunctions into three categories such as desire excitement and orgasmic phase disorders. Since $1980_s$ other medical fields joined the stream, putting the concentrated effort on the treatment of the impotence in the male. They have developed penile prosthesis, local injection therapy, and the administration of oral medications. Nowadays Sildenafil(Viagra) seems the best choice for the treatment of the impotence in the male.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sexual health program for men with rectal cancer resection based on sexual function, self-esteem, depression, and marital intimacy. Methods: Using a quasi-experiment design, the intervention group (n=32) participated in the sexual health program based on PLISSIT (Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, Intensive Therapy) model. They received the program three times between August 2014 and March 2015. The comparison group (n=30) received a general educational program for rectal cancer. Four survey questionnaires such as International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), Self-Esteem Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depressing Scale (CES-D), Marital Intimacy were used to measure the four key variables. Results: After the sexual health program, the intervention group showed statistically positive effect for the sexual function (F=4.14, p=.046), self-esteem (F=16.71, p<.001), depression (F=12.56, p=.001), and marital intimacy (F=12.45, p=.001) than the comparison group. Conclusion: Sexual health program should be consistently provided for men with rectal cancer resection since the intervention group reported better self-esteem, less depression, more intimacy and better sexual functioning.

Background : Recent discoveries on the physiology of an erection have demonstrated that the organic causes of impotence are more common, and psychogenic impotence is correspondingly less common than was formally believed. The incidence of sexual dysfunctions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients is largely unknown or may be perfunctorily attributed to the associated illness or to aging. This study investigated whether or not the impotence was related to the COPD itself as well as whether or not it nay stem from organic causes in a notable proportion of such patients. Methods : The sexual function was evaluated in 10 COPD patients and 10 normal control subjects. A nocturnal Rigi Scan was performed to evaluate the erectile function of each group. The level of hormones such as the free testosterone, prolactin and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was measured, and a pulmonary function test and arterial blood gas analysis was performed. Results : The time duration and frequency of a penile erection were significantly lower in COPD patients than the controls (p<0.05). In addition, the $PaO_2$ levels correlated with the time duration of the penile erection. Conclusion : These results suggest that COPD is one of the causes of organic erectile dysfunction.

Objectives : Ojawhan was formulated to contain various natural products known to cure erectile dysfunction. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Ojawhan on the nitric oxide synthase(NOS) activity, nitrite level, antioxidation and erectile responses in rat's corpus cavernosum penis. Methods : Ojawhan was washed, dried in the shade and crushed. The crushed Ojawhan ,was extracted 3 times, each time with 3 volumes of methyl alcohol at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The extract was filtered and evaporated under a reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to yield 62g. Ojawhan extract oral-administered 100 mg per 1 kg of body weight for 30 days. First, samples were treated with Ojawhan, then ethanol-treated rats and L-N-Nitroarginine methyl ester(L-NAME) treated rats were put with the samples. Result : The level of urethral lipid peroxide in the ethanol-Ojawhan double administered rats was decreased as low as in the normal group, while the one in the ethanol-treated group was increased. The urethral NOS activity, the level of urethral nitrite, the level of testosterone and the erectile response to cavernous nerve stimulation in the ethanol-Ojawhan double administered rats were increased as high as in the normal group while the one in the ethanol-treated group was decreased. The electile response to cavernous nerve stimulation and the level of nitrite in L-NAME ($10^{-4}$)-treated rats was restored by the administration of Ojawhan as high as in the normal group. Conclusions : Ojawhan was effective in restoring the ethanol-induced or L-NAME-induced erectile dysfunction in rats.

Objectives : Albizzia Julibrissin was formulated to contain various natural products known to cure erectile dysfunction. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Albizzia Julibrissin on the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity, nitrite level, antioxidation and erectile responses induced by ethanol in corpus cavernosum penis of rats. Methods : The crushed Albizzia Julibrissin was extracted 3 times, each time with 3 volumes of methyl alcohol at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The extract was filtered and evaporated under a reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to yield 45.3 g. Albizzia Julibrissin extract was oral-administered 100 mg per 1 kg of body weight for 20 days, while the normal group was administered only with a saline. The efficacy of Albizzia Julibrissin against erectile function was examined as described in the text. Results : The level of urethral NOS activity and nitrite were increased by Albizzia Julibrissin. The level of lipid peroxide was decreased by Albizzia Julibrissin. The level of urethral lipid peroxide in the ethanol-Albizzia Julibrissin double administered rats was decreased as low as in the norma! group, while the one in the ethanol-treated group was increased. The level of urethral nitrite, NOS activity, glutathione and serum testosterone in the ethanol-Albizzia Julibrissin double administered rats were as high as in the normal group, while the one in the ethanol-treated group was decreased. The erectile response to cavernous nerve stimulation in the ethanol-Albizzia Julibrissin double administered rats increased as high as in the normal group while the one in the ethanol-treated group decreased. Conclusions : Albizzia Julibrissin was shown to be effective for the treatment of erectile dysfunction induced by ethanol in rats.
