Penile Doppler
Penile Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test used to assess blood flow in the penis, primarily for diagnosing erectile dysfunction (ED) and vascular issues related to penile health. This test helps evaluate the condition of blood vessels and tissues in the penis, providing critical insights into whether poor blood flow is contributing to erectile difficulties.
During the procedure, a small probe (transducer) is placed on the penis to capture ultrasound images of the blood vessels. The test may involve administering a vasodilator injection to stimulate blood flow, mimicking an erection. Doppler ultrasound then measures the speed and volume of blood flow into and out of the penile arteries, which helps in diagnosing issues such as arterial insufficiency or venous leakage.
Penile Doppler is a safe and painless procedure that typically takes about 30-45 minutes. It is crucial for identifying the underlying causes of ED, such as atherosclerosis, trauma, or vascular diseases, and guiding appropriate treatment options, including medication, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions.
