Abstract(s)
A disfunção erétil é definida como a incapacidade de alcançar ou manter uma ereção
suficiente para um desempenho sexual satisfatório. Trata-se de uma das disfunções
sexuais mais prevalentes no sexo masculino, classicamente relacionada com o
envelhecimento. Esta patologia encontra-se, geralmente, associada a repercussões no
bem-estar psicológico e social do homem, bem como na própria relação com o(a)
parceiro(a), sendo, por isso, considerada uma importante causa de diminuição da
qualidade de vida. Os tratamentos atualmente disponíveis, na maioria dos casos, resolvem
os sintomas, no entanto, nenhum deles consegue reverter a base fisiopatológica da
disfunção erétil, além de que podem interferir com a espontaneidade sexual, o que se pode
revelar um obstáculo à sua utilização.
A investigação de novas alternativas terapêuticas para disfunção erétil encontra-se em
constante expansão. Uma vez que a sexualidade é um elemento fulcral na vida do ser
humano, torna-se pertinente uma atualização acerca dos avanços terapêuticos que
poderão, eventualmente, alterar o paradigma de tratamento desta patologia.
Esta dissertação pretende realizar uma revisão da evidência acumulada acerca das
modalidades de tratamento que emergiram, recentemente, para a disfunção erétil,
designadamente, a terapia com ondas de choque de baixa intensidade, a terapêutica com
toxina botulínica e a terapêutica com plasma enriquecido em plaquetas. Para isso, será
efetuada uma ampla pesquisa bibliográfica, através do recurso a bases de dados
eletrónicas, bem como a livros que se considerem relevantes.
Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to get or keep an erection that is sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. It is one of the most prevalent sexual dysfunctions in men, usually correlated with aging. This pathology is generally associated with repercussions in the psychological and social well-being of the patient and his relationship with his partner. This way, it is considered an important cause of a decrease in quality of life. The treatments available today, in most cases, solve the symptoms, however, none of them can reverse the physiopathological basis of erectile dysfunction. In addition to that, they can also interfere with the spontaneity of sexual intercourse, which may be an obstacle to their use. The search for new therapeutic alternatives for erectile disfunction is in constant development. As sexuality is an important element in human life, an update on these therapeutic advances becomes pertinent, since they could eventually change the paradigm of treatment of this pathology. This dissertation aims to produce a review of the evidence on recent therapeutic advances in erectile dysfunction, as low-intensity shockwave therapy, botulinum toxin treatment, and platelet-rich plasma therapy. This way, a wide bibliography research will be conducted, through online databases and relevant manuscripts.
