	Tumescence
		In females, the first and most obvious sign of sexual excitement and tumescence is the lubrication of the vagina.
		In response to effective stimulation, the vaginal walls begin to secrete a clear fluid which soon provides a moist coating for the entire vagina in preparation for coitus.
		(The corresponding sign of tumescence in males is the erection of the penis.

	The Technique of donor harvesting with hair transplant surgery
		In addition to this tamponade effect, tumescence lifts the hair follicles off the underlying vascular bed and reduces the risk of trans-section of deeper and larger arteries and nerves, provided the depth of incision is controlled.
		Tumescence in the upper dermis alone would create a firm, flat surface, reduce follicle density, and perhaps decrease follicle trans-section rates, but would do little to lift the follicles away from the underlying nerves and vessels.
		Infrequently, maximum tumescence can expand the donor area by up to 5 mm but he feels the dynamic properties of the, which are especially characteristic of this type of elastic skin, reduce this effect to a very short duration as the skin rapidly returns to normal.

		Where the stimulation of the pedicle produced a tumescence response but mobilization closer to the prostate would have transgressed the capsule or palpable cancer, the pedicle was ligated and divided independent of the tumescence response.
		Seventeen (89%) of the 19 patients demonstrated a tumescence response during surgery, thus permitting modilication of the surgical dissection to preserve the path of the cavernous nerve identified by stimulation (Table Ill).
		In more than 80% of cases in which intraoperative tumescence was generated by the device (so that cavernous nerve mapping could be achieved), at least partial erectile competence was experienced at 1 year after surgery in patients with a wide range of age and stage of disease.

		The justification for using the term "tumescence," which I here propose, is to be found in the fact that vascular congestion, more especially of the parts related to generation, is an essential preliminary to acute sexual desire.
		Tumescence and detumescence are alike fundamental, primitive, and essential; in resting the sexual impulse on these necessarily connected processes we are basing ourselves on the solid bedrock of nature.
		Moreover, of the two processes, tumescence, which in time comes first, is by far the most important, and nearly the whole of sexual psychology is rooted in it.

		In addition to this tamponade effect, tumescence lifts the hair follicles off the underlying vascular bed and reduces the risk of transection of deeper and larger arteries and nerves, provided the depth of incision is controlled.
		Follicle transection is also decreased by tumescence as a result of its spreading the follicles within the donor tissue farther apart, stabilizing the tissue, and making the angle of hair growth more consistent.
		Tumescence in the upper dermis alone would create a firm, flat surface, reduce follicle density, and perhaps decrease follicle transection rates, but would do little to lift the follicles away from the underlying nerves and vessels.

		The penile erection has four stages, the resting state is flacidity, then tumescence to erection and then detumescence.
		The decending pathways from the brain travels via the CNS and acts to increase parasympathetic and decrease sympathetic stimulation of arterioles in the two corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum causing their vasodilation.
		The vasodilation increases tumescence, the volume increase in the penis then also causes venal compression reducing blood outflow from the penis untill an erection is achived.

	American Family Physician: Penile tumescence studies in diabetic men - Tips from Other Journals
		Nocturnal penile tumescence studies are commonly used to assess sexual dysfunction in diabetic men.
		An episode of nocturnal penile tumescence was defined as an abrupt increase in penile base circumference that corresponded with a 3-mm or greater change in pen deflection that was maintained for at least five minutes.
		On the third night, patients were awakened at the point of maximal tumescence, and fullness of erection was estimated and penile buckling force was measured.

	[No title]
		Love springs up as a response to a number of stimuli to tumescence, the object that most adequately arouses tumescence being that which evokes love; the question of æsthetic beauty, although it develops on this basis, is not itself fundamental and need not even be consciously present at all.
		When a man or a woman experiences sexual love for one particular person from among the multitude by which he or she is surrounded, this is due to the influences of a group of stimuli coming through the channels of one or more of these senses.
		External stimuli act at every stage, arousing or heightening the process of tumescence, and in normal human beings it may be said that the process is never completed without the aid of such stimuli, for even in the auto-erotic sphere external stimuli are still active, either actually or in imagination.

		Tumescent anesthetic produces a delay in achieving the peak serum lidocaine level and does not produce as high a level compared with conventional local anesthetic.
		Tumescence magnifies defects; therefore, the likelihood of needing a secondary procedure may be less.
		Tumescent liposuction, which encompasses the use of tumescent local anesthetic and small diameter cannulae, has created a significantly safer procedure than the initial dry, semiwet, and wet techniques.

		If no tumescence response is obtained, the stimulation procedure is discontinued, and the procedure proceeds as the surgeon would ordinarily.
		By noting where the probe tip is located when it elicits a tumescence response, the course of the neurovascular bundles becomes apparent and provides an anatomic “map” for the surgeon interested in their preservation.
		In particular, a tumescence response following removal of the surgical specimen is reassuring in demonstrating a physical neural connection between the area receiving stimulation and the penis.

		Tumescence and rigidity was induced by audiovisual and tactile stimulation.
		In the peripheral blood, the increase from flaccidity (4.1 ± 1.1) to tumescence (4.4 ± 1.4) was found to be significant (p = 0.001) and no further increase was detected during rigidity.
		The difference between the peripheral and cavernous TC in healthy subjects and ED patients in the flaccid phase might be a diagnostic tool to evaluate the amount of bioavailable T as well as the density of T receptors in the CC smooth musculature.

		Second, to complain about Foster's Tumescence and Testicles is not to complain about contemporary architecture in general, still less to defend a Prince of Wales traditionalism.

		Normal smooth muscle tone during flaccidity and sufficient relaxation during tumescence permit the rise in intracorporeal pressure to the level needed for the full erection to occur.
		The penile hemodynamic changes associated with the sexual cycle (arterial and venous flow rates) are depicted in the middle portion, and the penile physical changes (volume and intracorporeal pressure) are depicted in the lower portion of the graph.
		This increase in arterial inflow is accompanied with an earlier increase in venous return, and results in gradual expansion of the cavernous tissue, increase in intracorporeal pressure, obliteration of emissary veins, and ultimately restriction of the venous return.

	Disruption of the young-adult synchrony between luteinizing hormone release and oscillations in follicle-stimulating ...
		Among one-variable results, only ApEn of LH release was significantly higher in older individuals at 1.323 +/- 0.058 vs. 0.897 +/- 0.089 in younger subjects (P = 0.0019), signifying greater disorderliness of the LH secretory process in aged men.
		We suggest that abrogation of joint synchrony among hypothalamically directed pituitary hormones and a neurogenically organized sexual response (nocturnal penile tumescence) can be unified thematically under an hypothesis of disrupted central nervous system hypothalamo-pituitary network coordination in human aging.
		Such implicit disarray of multinodal communication is of consequence both scientifically and clinically, especially in proposing aging theories and intervention strategies.

	Cancer Spectrum: Medline Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In a longitudinal study measuring self-report, behavioral, and nocturnal penile tumescence variables before and after treatment with cognitive behavior therapy in an unmedicated sample of 40 outpatient depressed men, we found, contrary to expectation, that sexual activity per se was not reduced during the depressed state.
		Also, contrary to expectation, nocturnal penile tumescence abnormalities in depressed men did not reverse when measured in early remission, nor did nocturnal penile tumescence measures correlate significantly with behavioral measures of sexual function.
		Nocturnal penile tumescence alterations in depression may thus be similar to other persistent electroencephalographic sleep abnormalities seen in depressed patients in remission, in being more trait-like than statelike.

	Use of transurethral alprostadil (MUSE) (prostaglandin E1) for glans tumescence in a patient with penile prosthesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The presence of communication between the emissary veins from the corpora cavernosa and the circumflex veins draining the corpus spongiosum makes it possible for the transfer of alprostadil (prostaglandin E1) in MUSE from the spongiosal compartment to the cavernosal compartment of the penis after its absorption through the urethral mucosa.
		Lack of tumescence of the glans penis and poor penile girth can be a cause for disappointment and frustration in patients following penile prosthetic surgery.
		MUSE was used successfully in a patient with a Dynaflex penile prosthesis to enhance the tumescence of the glans penis.
