Young Man in whom a Healthy Habit caused erectile dysfunction
1. 30-year-old Rijo consulted me for 3-month history of problem with erection. He was evaluated by Urologist/Andrologist & no cause for the same was found. Therefore, he was referred to rule out neurological disease.
2. Rijo was well three months ago, when he noticed erectile dysfunction (ED). He also had numbness in penis and surrounding regions, which was worse in mornings and better in evenings. There was no back pain or leg pain.

3. On enquiring about his fitness regime, he mentioned that he was passionate about #cycling and he cycled about 400 km per week (including 100+ km on Sundays). I could now guess the reason for his ED.

What is #PelvicFloor #dysfunction? When these muscles become too tight, then they may become a source of #pain 💢 Additionally #tight muscles are problematic because they may not be able to generate enough force to function properly, support the organs & act as part of our core🧵
As we age and in response to #surgery, #childbirth, or #constipation the muscles can also become over lengthened which also makes them weak & unable to function properly 😮🧵
In addition to the length & strength of the muscles being altered, our ability to control the #muscles💪can also become impaired, this is called a loss of motor control. There are many causes to #PFD, but the good news is that #pelvicfloor #physical #therapy can help🙏🏽

Endothelial-derived microvesicles play a pathogenic role in vascular #inflammation, causing #endothelial barrier dysfunction by impairing adherens junctions and activating #neutrophils

#Microvesicles (MV) are formed from the outward blebbing of the plasma membrane and carry a diverse cargo that regulate multiple processes.

During #inflammation these are produced by activated endothelial cells and released into the #circulation. TEM image of plasma MVs: (2/8) Image
In this study the authors investigated whether endothelial-derived MVs (EC-MVs) contribute to #vascular dysfunction during inflammation.

The authors used an animal model of #sepsis (CLP) and found that this increased EC-MV production (3/8) Image
