Patient's question:
Do special tests need to be done for sexual dysfunction, and what precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
When a patient has erectile dysfunction, it may be necessary to perform tests such as audiovisual sexual stimulation tests, nocturnal penile tumescence monitoring data, penile hemodynamic tests (penile arterial pressure index, color Doppler sonography, penile cavernous anesthesia vasoactive drug tests, cavernosography), and erectile nerve function tests. Women may need to undergo examinations such as blood flow in the female reproductive tract, vaginal pH value, vaginal compliance, and vibratory sensory threshold tests of female reproductive organs. These tests can be selected based on specific circumstances.
