Paolo Maria Michetti

Paolo Maria Michetti is a confirmed researcher at Sapienza University of Rome's Department of Maternal Infantile and Urological Sciences within the School of Medicine and Surgery. He serves as Medical Manager at Policlinico Umberto I's Urology Department while teaching Urology in Medicine, Nursing, and Physiotherapy programs since 2001. His dual clinical-academic role bridges urological practice and sexological research.

Education:

• 1993: Specialization in Sexology (Institute of Clinical Sexology of Rome)
• 1992: Specialization in Urology, Sapienza University of Rome (70/70 cum laude)
• 1987: Medical Degree, Sapienza University of Rome (110/110 cum laude)
• 1981: Classical High School Diploma (60/60)

Michetti's research integrates urology with clinical sexology, focusing on male sexual dysfunction, unconsummated marriage taxonomy, and psychosocial aspects of sexual health. His work demonstrates consistent interdisciplinary collaboration between urological surgery and psychological assessment, particularly examining personality traits' impact on erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. The 2022 psychometric validation of Italian sexual distress scales represents a methodological cornerstone in his recent work.

His publication trends (2015-2022) reveal three dominant research strands: 1) Taxonomic refinement of sexual disorders (particularly unconsummated marriage), 2) Psychometric development of sexual distress assessment tools, and 3) Surgical innovations in andrological trauma management. These intersect at the critical junction of physiological urology and psychological sexology.
