Most Heart Patients Happy with Relationships, Despite Sexual Problems

In spite of sexual issues associated with cardiac disease, patients' relationships tend to stay strong, according to a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study.

Researchers surveyed 201 people who had undergone cardiac rehabilitation in Ireland. Eighty-eight percent were men.

When asked about their sexual activity during the previous month, about two-thirds of the respondents had had sex at least once, but the remaining third had not had sex at all.  About a third of the men had trouble with erections, and problems reaching orgasm affected about one in five women.

However, over 70% of the respondents said they were having pleasurable sex and affection with their partner, although communication was poor for some couples.

More details on the study are available here.

New Research: 3D Photography and Peyronie's Disease

Our website's latest research summary will be of particular interest to clinicians who treat men with Peyronie's disease.

"Three-Dimensional Photography for Quantitative Assessment of Penile Volume-Loss Deformities in Peyronie's Disease" by Ezra J. Margolin, BA, et al. was published online in April in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

This proof-of-concept study discusses the use of 3D photography to assess penile deformities in men with Peyronie’s disease. It focuses on volume-loss deformities, which may or may not occur with penile curvature.
