The evaluation of effectiveness of perineal musculs training in restoring erectile function

The effectiveness of this treatment method depended on the age and duration of ED. The less age and the shorter the duration of ED lead to higher likelihood of erectile function recovery. A decrease in body weight and an increase in general physical endurance also had a positive effect. Arterial hypertension, antihypertensive therapy, hormonal status, anatomical dimensions of the organ have no effect. Negative impact was observed for age over 60 years, the duration of ED more than 2 years, diabetes. Conclusions. Improvement of erectile function after a course of perineal muscle training was observed in 84% of patients. Complete normalization of erectile function was achieved in 67% and partial improvement in 17% patients with organic ED. Improvement was obtained in 86% of patients with psychogenic ED.
