ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: In recent year, erectile dysfunction patients are increasing, and some of them want to increase their erectile function without using medication or surgical methods, In this study we attempted to find the value of electrical stimulation with electrical stimulation machine Hi-DREAM 328(TM) made in Korea as a treatment method of no definite underling disease caused erectile dysfunction patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 22 cases erectile dysfunction patients we treated them two times per week for 4 weeks totally 8 times above mentioned machine, each session was spent for 1 hour 48 minutes. We checked IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function-5) score repeatedly for comparing the change of IIEF-5 score pretreatment, 1 month after treatment and 3 month after treatment. And we compared the effect of treatment as comparing the IIEF-5 score changing each time. RESULTS: Total IIEF-5 score of pretreatment was 9.6+/-5.5, 1 month and 3 month after electrical stimulation were 17.9+/-2.9, 16.2+/-2.9, respectively. In the patients with venous leakage, IIEF-5 score was no increase definitely following electrical stimulation. But in the case of abnormal SPACE, pretreatment of IIEF-5 score was 12.1+/-5.2, 1 month and 3 month after electrical stimulation were 18.1+/-7.6, 16.5+/-7.4, respectively. We found that IIEF-5 score were increased in no definite organic caused erectile dysfunction patients, and there was significant correlation statistically (p<0.05) in erectile function, maintenance of erection, intercourse satisfaction, overall satisfaction. The remaining effect after treatment was decreased in time follow up. But the erectile function was preserved at comparing before treatment. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that electrical stimulation is one of the treatment modalities in the treatment of no definite underling disease caused erectile dysfunction patients rather than vascular abnormalities as like venous leakage.
