Evaluation of the impotent male.
• Medical and Psychosexual history.
• Physical examination:– Nocturnal penile tumescence.– Neurologic testing.
• Sacral Evoked response.
• Genitocerebral Evoked response.
• Hormonal Testing.
Evaluation of the impotent male.
• Nocturnal penile tumescence testing (NPT):– To distinguish psycogenic from organic causes.– NPT occurs during REM sleep, 4 to 5 erectile
episodes per night, lasting longer than 30 min.– Increase of circumference greater than 3cm.– Increase of rigidity 70% of maximal.
Evaluation of the impotent male.
• Vascular Evaluation:– Pulsed Doppler analysis.– Duplex-Ultrasonography.
• Arteriography.
• Cavernosometry / Cavernosography.
Evaluation of the impotent male.
• Cavernosometry:– Injection of 10g PGE1.– Intracorporal pressure measurement (120mm
Hg).– Corporal infusion (maintainance 5ml/min).– Pressure decay (< 45mm/Hg in 30 sec).
• Cavernosography:– Infusion of contrast medium.
Evaluation of the impotent male.
• Neurological testing:– Biothesiometry:
• Sensory perception of vibratory stimulation.
– Sacral evoked response (BC reflex latency).• 30-40 mil/sec at 50 volts.
– Genitocerebral evoked potential studies:• Cerebral response to dorsal penile nerve stimulation.
