ED agent improves sexual pleasure in both partners
Treatment with PDE-5 inhibitor shows improvements in several satisfaction domains
The phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor vardenafil (Levitra) significantly improves sexual pleasure and treatment satisfaction in both men with erectile dysfunction and their partners. according to study results presented at the European Association of Urology annual congress here.
More than one-half of all men older than age 40 years are estimated to have some degree of ED. Yet, only 10% of the approximately 30 million men affected in the United States seek treatment for the condition. For the majority of those who do, PDE-5 inhibitors—sildenafil citrate (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil—are recognized as first-line therapy for ED management.
“In this report, the rote and impact of the partner is highlighted and clearly shows that effective treatment of male erectile dysfunction yields measurable improvements in partner sexual satisfaction,” said study co-author Gerald Brock, MD, associate professor of urology at St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Lawson Research Institute, London, Ontario, Canada. “While often ignored, ultimately successful erectile dysfunction treatment satisfaction of the male requires that the partner obtains an enhanced experience as well.”
