Plain-English summary
A Thoroughbred stallion was having trouble with erectile dysfunction after a condition called paraphimosis, where the penis cannot retract properly. To help him, veterinarians used a method of manual stimulation at the base of his penis to encourage ejaculation. This approach worked well, allowing the stallion to ejaculate consistently and return to breeding naturally. Normally, stallions with such severe issues are thought to be unable to breed, but this treatment showed that it is possible for them to continue as breeding animals.
Abstract
A Thoroughbred stallion with erectile dysfunction following paraphimosis was managed to allow consistent ejaculation. Ejaculation was elicited in this stallion by applying manual stimulation to the base of the penis. This technique allowed consistent ejaculation, and the stallion was able to return to natural service. Historically, stallions with this degree of penile dysfunction have been considered incapable of ejaculation and unable to continue as breeding animals.
