Point electrical stimulation in the restoration of men's sexual health

Objective. To the evaluation of the therapeutic possibilities of using transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation in order to prevent the formation of sexual dysfunctions in men.

Materials and methods. 120 men under the age of 35, who are quoted as practically healthy, but are characterized by a decrease in the quality of sexual activity. Patients were evaluated for hormonal background and mental status, as well as neuromuscular and vascular parameters in the pelvis.

Results. In the first phase of work, the effectiveness of two “soft” complex drugs indicated for sexual dysfunctions was determined. The observed individuals were divided into groups in which, in addition to medications, placebo was used. The resulting insufficient effectiveness of this type of exposure determined the additional use of the transcutaneous electrical stimulation method. In this regard, treatment groups were identified, in which, in addition to the combined drug and reflex effects, a hardware placebo was used. In the case of combined stimulation, 65% of men noted an improvement in sexual activity, while with the use of placebo – 50%. In addition, according to the follow-up data, the proposed complex provided a reliably greater stability of the results achieved.

Conclusion. The confirmed effectiveness of the combined medicinal and reflex effects aimed at restoring the sexual activity of men can be explained by the summation and even potentiation of therapeutic mechanisms.
