Brief Summary:
In this study, it is planned to investigate the effect of connective tissue massage on symptom severity, autonomic functions, psychological state and quality of life in individuals with erectile dysfunction symptoms.
Detailed Description:
The most common sexual dysfunctions in men include erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to achieve and maintain the penile erection necessary for sexual intercourse for at least 6 months.The prevalence of ED generally varies between 37.2%-48.6%.
There are various treatment methods used in individuals with ED symptoms. While urologists use oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor drugs (such as sildenafil and vardenafil) as the first step, intracavernosal papaverine or alprostadil injections and vacuum devices may be preferred afterwards. When these treatments are inadequate, penile prostheses can be used. In addition, various physiotherapy techniques such as pelvic floor muscle training, electrical stimulation, massage and aerobic exercises are also recommended for these individuals.
