Abstract
Patient acceptance of and satisfaction with an external negative pressure device as a treatment for impotence were retrospectively analyzed among 100 men. The over-all satisfaction rate was 68%. Reasons for dissatisfication with and discontinuing the use of the device included premature loss of penile tumescence and rigidity, pain or discomfort either during application of suction or during intercourse and inconvenience. Negative pressure therapy is an effective treatment for impotence of various etiologies and should be among treatment options offered to the impotent patients.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
