From: Corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cell dysfunction and phenotype transformation are related to erectile dysfunction in prostatitis rats with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome

Chronic prostatitis promotes cytokine production in the corpus cavernosum and increases oxidative stress, resulting in imbalance of intracellular calcium in CCSMCs. Moreover, CCSMCs are transformed from contractile to synthetic phenotype, and the collagen synthesis increases, resulting in the fibrosis of the corpus cavernosum
