Summary
Cavernosometry and cavernosography with artificial erection help evaluate male sexual dysfunction. Pathological values for erection flow (EF) are over 181 ml/min, and maintenance flow (MF) over 99 ml/min.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Andrology
- Medical Imaging
Context:
- Sexual dysfunction evaluation in males.
- Utilizes cavernosometry and cavernosography.
- Employs artificial erection techniques.
Purpose:
- Establish normal and pathological values for erection flow (EF) and maintenance flow (MF).
- Define diagnostic criteria for male sexual dysfunction using dynamic infusion cavernosometry and cavernosography.
Summary:
- A device with a volumetric infusion pump and digital flow indicator was used.
- Bilateral puncture of the corpora cavernosa allowed for pressure recording and fluid infusion.
- Eight healthy males were assessed to determine normal flow rates.
Impact:
- Provides specific pathological thresholds for EF (>181 ml/min) and MF (>99 ml/min) with 99% reliability.
- Aids in the objective diagnosis of male sexual dysfunction.
- Contributes to understanding penile hemodynamics in sexual health assessments.
