What tests are needed for male sexual dysfunction?

In daily life, many male friends have encountered sexual dysfunction problems. Male sexual dysfunction is a very common male sexual dysfunction disease. Sexual dysfunction seriously affects the patient's normal life and physical health. If it is not treated well for a long time, it will aggravate the condition and cause great harm to the patient's body. So what kind of examinations are needed for male sexual dysfunction? Let me explain it to you next.

1. Laboratory Inspection

Plasma testosterone, estradiol, prolactin, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, thyroid hormone and blood sugar are measured. If plasma progesterone increases and follicle-stimulating hormone decreases, the lesion is in the testicle; if both plasma progesterone and testosterone decrease, prolactin increases, and the lesion is in the subthalamus; if plasma testosterone and thyroid hormone (T3, T4) increase at the same time, it is related to hyperthyroidism.

2. Physical Examination

The patient's appearance should be observed, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics should be checked. The external genitalia should be checked for deformities and trauma, and the size and texture of the testicles should be checked for deformities. If genital tract inflammation is suspected, a rectal examination should be performed to check the size of the prostate and seminal vesicles.

3. Neurological examination and others

1. Penile nocturnal erection measurement The size change of the penis at night is measured with a volume recorder, which reflects the degree of penis erection at night, the number of erections and the duration of erection. The maximum erection difference of the normal penis circumference is 1.36-4.8 cm. When the circumference increases by 1.6-2.ocm, effective erection strength can be obtained. Functional virile penis has normal nocturnal erection.

2. "Bulbo-cavernous muscle reflex" squeezes the glans penis and stimulates the perianal skin, which can cause contraction reflexes of the bulbospongioma muscles, sciatic cavernosa muscles, voluntary muscles around the urethra, superficial transverse muscles of the perineum and anal sphincter muscles, and can be recorded by electromyography. The normal conduction time is 28-42 milliseconds, and the reflex time is prolonged in patients with neurogenic erythema and lower neuronal lesions.

The above article describes in detail what examinations are needed for male sexual dysfunction. Male patients with sexual dysfunction should pay more attention to their bodies. They can do more exercise outdoors. Exercise can exercise the body and make it stronger. In addition, they should pay more attention to the nutritional combination of food and ensure a balanced diet.
