The application of L-arginine and its derivatives to the skin causes beneficial effects of wound healing, increasing erectile function and increased growth of hair when applied in sufficient quantity to the skin. A hostile biophysical agent may be combined with the L-arginine to increase its absorption into the skin. The desired concentrations of the hostile biophysical agent is increased when concentration of L-arginine is less than 20% of the concentration of the substance applied to maximize its effect.

An implantable stimulator(s) with at least one infusion outlet and / or at least one electrode, is implanted with the outlet(s) and / or electrode(s) located adjacent to a pudendal nerve(s) and potentially other nerve(s) innervating the reproductive organs, such as the cavernous nerve(s). Stimulation of such nerve(s) is provided via stimulating drugs and / or electrical stimulation as a therapy for erectile dysfunction. The stimulator uses a power source / storage device, such as a rechargeable battery. Periodic recharging of such a battery is accomplished, for example, by inductive coupling with an external appliance. The stimulator provides means of stimulating a nerve(s) when desired, without the need for external appliances during the stimulation session. When necessary, external appliances are used for the transmission of data to and / or from the stimulator(s) and for the transmission of power. The system is capable of open- and closed-loop operation. In closed-loop operation, at least one implant includes a sensor, and the sensed condition is used to adjust stimulation parameters.

Disclosed is a physiological approach of a penile venous stripping surgical procedure for patients with erectile dysfunction (ED), which mainly contains a revolutionary surgical solution of treating leakage veins for restoring erectile function based on a template of penile tunical and venous anatomy. The method entails a thorough penile venous stripping and then being ligated of one deep dorsal vein and a pair of cavernosal veins whereas two pairs of para-arterial veins are rendered for segmental ligation rather than being stripped closest to the tunica albuginea by using a set of specific instruments under an acupuncture-aided local anesthesia on an ambulatory basis. Although the techniques for handling venous tissues with stripping and then ligation is extraordinarily challenging, this innovative method turns the venous treatment for ED from one that has been abandoned to a curable option.

The invention relates to compounds having the structure of Formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are soluble guanylate cyclase activators. The compounds are capable of modulating the body's production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (“cGMP”) and are generally suitable for the therapy and prophylaxis of diseases which are associated with a disturbed cGMP balance. The compounds are useful for treatment or prevention of cardiovascular diseases, endothelial dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, angina pectoris, thromboses, restenosis, myocardial infarction, strokes, cardiac insufficiency, pulmonary hypertonia, erectile dysfunction, asthma bronchiale, chronic kidney insufficiency, diabetes, or cirrhosis of the liver.

Certain novel N-acylated spiropiperidine derivatives are ligands of the human melanocortin receptor(s) and, in particular, are selective ligands of the human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R). They are therefore useful for the treatment, control, or prevention of diseases and disorders responsive to the modulation of MC-4R, such as obesity, diabetes, nicotine addiction, alcoholism, sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction.

Compositions for treating erectile dysfunction (“ED”), including age related erectile dysfunction (ARED), comprise in a preferred embodiment ginger and an amino acid. Preferably the amino acid is L-arginine and / or L-citrulline. Additionally, the compositions may comprise guarana (Paullinia cupana), Muira puama cortex magnoliae officinalis (CMO) and / or fructus aurantil immaturus (FAI). The compositions of the present inventions are administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount to treat erectile dysfunction. Essential ingredients in formulations of the present inventions for treatment of ED and ARED are ginger (or ginger derivative) and L-citrulline or L-arginine. A daily dosage of at least about 250 mg ginger and at least about 400 mg L-citrulline or L-arginine for a sufficient period of time will result in improved IIEF scores in a substantial number of patients.

The invention provides a rehabilitation ring for male erectile dysfunction. The rehabilitation ring is made of a latex material, and comprises a ring body, wherein two lugs which can be held by hands to stretch the ring body are arranged on two sides of the ring body oppositely; and a recessed gap I which does not influence arterial blood supply when the ring body is sleeved on the root of penis and a recessed gap II which makes the ring body not press a urethral canal at the root of the penis to facilitate ejaculation when the ring body is sleeved on the root of the penis are formed on an inner ring of the ring body. After patients who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) are treated by a negative pressure erection-assistant tool, the rehabilitation ring is sleeved on the root of the erected penis, and the recessed gap I of the rehabilitation ring ensures full arterial blood supply, so that the penis is in the erected state safely and continuously; and a spermiation canal (the urethral canal) is smooth by the recessed gap II of the rehabilitation ring. By using the rehabilitation ring, high-price medicines are not needed to be bought repeatedly, the side effect caused by the medicines is avoided, and the satisfaction degree is high during long-term use; and the rehabilitation ring can be used as a tool for training an erection function, so that the normal sexual life of husbands and wives is ensured.
