1. A method for treating the ischiocavernous muscles (IC) of a patient with either erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation or both, said patient having been diagnosed with measurements of the strength of the ischiocavernous muscles (IC) causing the rigidity of the penis (P) of the patient and measurements of the arterial and venous variation of the corpus cavernosum ensuring the erection of the penis (P), the method comprising:

  • providing a sensor (2, 50) that is comprised of;

    means for receiving the intracavernous pressure (ICP),means for electro stimulating (22, 56) the ischiocavernous muscles (IC), andat least one transducer (21, 55) integrated into or offset from the sensor (2, 50) allowing the pressure signal issued from the means for receiving the intracavernous pressure (ICP) to be transformed into an electrical signal; and

    connecting the sensor (2, 50) to a housing (35) that is comprised of;

    means for amplifying and recording the electrical signal from the transducer (21, 55) to produce an amplified electrical signal, anda microcontroller for analyzing the amplified electrical signal, for controlling the means for electro stimulating (22, 56) the ischiocavernous muscles (IC) as a function of the fatigue state of the ischiocavernous muscles (IC) and for controlling the treatment through sound, visual or tactile patterns indicating to the patient the intensity, duration and ischiocavernous muscles (IC) contraction to be produced and the duration of the rest period between two contractions.
