Defining the night of erection (tumestsentsii)

Scientists have long known that night, a man appears spontaneous erection of the penis (night penilnaya tumestsentsiya). Nervous System with a certain frequency causes the penis to “alert”. Defining the wave erection allows high accuracy to distinguish organic from psychogenic erectile dysfunction.

So, there are several methods to determine the night of erection.

* NEVA. To date, this method is the most “advanced” method. A small device (the size corresponds player) attached to the patient’s thigh. Electrodes are attached to the penis. In the event of a nighttime erection device stores information on magnetic media. One, the word “EKG for the penis.” Morning, the doctor evaluates the information - the number and strength of erection that have emerged overnight.
* Test with postage stamps. The method is simple, but not too reliable. At the penis shall be adhesively bonded ring of stamps. If you have erection marks broken, suggesting the presence of spontaneous erection. If the ring is not torn, the night of erection is not there.
* Snep-Gage test is a modification of the test with the postage stamps that the difference is that instead of special stamps are used synthetic materials. Just as in the method of postage stamps, Snep-Gage does not accurately measure the level of erection, the number for the night. And these figures are of great importance in diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.
* Surveillance using hidden cameras. This method, now resigned to the past. Its essence is to monitor the male penis with your camcorder. Just a man lay a blanket or roll on your stomach, as the study had to repeat over and over again.

DIAGNOSIS erectile dysfunction

Defining the night of erection (tumestsentsii)

A survey of patient instituting the complaint of a violation of erection, start with a clarification of complaints, patient survey and identify his illness, often accompanied by erectile dysfunction (diabetes, hypertension, etc.). Mandatory inspection. Often, the doctor helps to talk with the partner. Once the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction was (and is not always the patients seeking a specialist to make their own diagnosis, the often confusing erectile dysfunction to premature ejaculation and other diseases), raises the fundamental question. Sorry for the pun. Why did the erectile dysfunction.

In general, a diagnostic search may be explained in few words. First, it turns out, is whether erectile dysfunction of psychogenic or organic. To date, this step is one of the most difficult. The optimum solution is to define tumestsentsii night or the night of erection. This diagnostic method is devoted to a separate article, so now go into this method will not.

In identifying psychogenic erectile dysfunction, the patient is sent to a counselor or sexologist who helped him cope with the problem. In the second case, when it comes to changes in the tissue of the penis and blood vessels supplying it, the search continues. There is a need for it to determine the specific cause. This may be a number of ways:

* Measurement of blood pressure in the vessels of the penis and compare it with the pressure in the brachial artery
* Reafallografiya (dielectrography) - obtain information about the blood through the measurement of electrical resistance in the various sections of arteries of the penis
* Ultrasonography (USG), in particular doplerografiya, to assess blood flow in the vessels of the penis. Often, a study before and after application of drugs that stimulate erection.
* Radioisotope scanning of the penis. Since the introduction of radiofarmprepratov assess the accumulation and activity of radioactive substances in a state of calm and erection after stimulation
* Kavernozografiya - X-ray study of the outflow of venous blood from the penis

There may be other methods of diagnosis, which determines the choice of a doctor after examination of the patient.
