Penile blood pressure

P Metz, J Bengtsson

    Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Penile blood pressure measurement can help identify arterial insufficiency causing erectile impotence. An index below 0.60 strongly correlates with impotence in men with arteriosclerosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Andrology

    Background:

    • Erectile impotence is often linked to penile arterial insufficiency.
    • Accurate diagnostic methods are crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of penile blood pressure measurement in diagnosing arterial insufficiency.
    • To establish a normal range for the penile-brachial blood pressure index.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized strain gauge plethysmography and ultrasonic techniques.
    • Measured penile blood pressure and expressed it as an index of brachial blood pressure.
    • Assessed coefficient of variation in non-arteriosclerotic, potent men.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The normal penile-brachial blood pressure index ranged from 0.7 to 1.02.
  • A coefficient of variation of 6% was observed in double determinations.
  • Over 90% of men with arteriosclerosis and an index below 0.60 were impotent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Penile blood pressure measurement is a valuable tool for demonstrating penile arterial insufficiency.
    • A low penile blood pressure index is a strong indicator of impotence due to arterial disease.
