摘要
Erectile dysfunction is common feature in men with diabetes. The efficacy and acceptability of a new battery-powered vacuum assist device, the 'Active' was assessed over 6 months in 19 diabetic men, median age 59 (38-66) years, of whom 9 had ECG evidence of autonomic neuropathy. Their pre-treatment duration of impotence was 24 (12-168) months and their expectation of restored sexual activity was 8 (1-28) times per month. The effect of the device was assessed using visual analogue scales (range 1-10) at 3 and 6 months, Eleven patients continued to use their device over 6 months. Self-assessment values for sexual satisfaction, partners's sexual satisfaction, and self-esteem significantly increased over 6 months. In those continuing to use the device, it was considered highly effective, painless in use and not embarrassing. Despite wearing a constriction ring to maintain their erection, ejaculation was satisfactory. The device was used four times per month on average.
