Lower clinical neurophysiological elicitability of the penilo-cavernosus reflex is classified as a late complication of circumcision by Iacob et al. (2021).[1] This classification was based on the work of Simon Podhar in Slovenia. Podnar relates that he had observed in clinical practice that the penilo-cavernosus reflex seemed to be more difficult to elicit clinically in circumcised men. A formal study was established to test these obverations.[2]
The bulbocavernosus reflex has been found to be delayed or absent at a higher rate than the general population of intact men in diabetic men with complaints of erectile impotence, and men whose penises have been circumcised or in intact men who have permanent retraction of the foreskin behind the glans penis.[2]
