Male sexual function examination items

What should be included in the sexual function test? In today's society, many men suffer from erectile dysfunction, which is a disease that is extremely harmful to men's health. Its harm is second only to impotence. When men suffer from this disease, it seriously affects the normal sexual life between husband and wife. Therefore, boys with this disease must go to the hospital for a physical examination in time. So what should be included in the sexual function test?

1. Routine physical examination to check for erectile dysfunction: A comprehensive and systematic examination should be conducted on every patient, with the focus on the urinary system, the growth and development of secondary sexual characteristics, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the central nervous system. Abnormal growth and development of the urinary system and secondary sexual characteristics usually indicate endocrine erectile dysfunction caused by primary or secondary sex hormone dysfunction and pituitary degeneration. Unclear palpation of the dorsal artery of the foot or the disappearance of the bulbospongiosus muscle reflex surface and sluggish sensation in the perineum indicate the possibility of vascular or psychogenic erectile dysfunction.

2. Laboratory examination of erectile dysfunction: routine blood and urine examination, liver and kidney function as a screening test, mainly testing the following items: blood sugar level and urine sugar. Diabetes can often cause damage to blood vessels and nerves, and about 1/2 of diabetics develop erectile dysfunction. If necessary, a glucose tolerance test should be performed to detect latent diabetics.

3. Unique test for erectile dysfunction: Nighttime penis enlargement experiment. In 1970, Karacan first used the natural physiological phenomenon of the nighttime penis to distinguish between psychological and organic impotence. This experiment is less affected by psychological disorders and can more objectively reflect the penis function. In normal people, the penis has 4 to 6 times a night in a fast-moving state, lasting 25 to 40 minutes. The strength of the test with a hardness meter (rigiscan) is 65% to 70%, but this test still has 15% to 20% false negatives.

Based on the above description, I believe everyone already knows what items should be included in the sexual function test. I hope that every boy suffering from this disease can go to the hospital for a physical examination in time and actively start treatment instead of not going for a check-up due to shame and guilt, which will only make the condition worse.

The above is some professional knowledge about what should be included in sexual function examinations. I hope it can help everyone.
