Penile Function / Impotence Testing

Penile function testing evaluates the vascular causes of erectile dysfunction (impotence), providing objective data to guide diagnosis and treatment. This test is essential for distinguishing between vascular and non-vascular causes of impotence.

What is Penile Function Testing?

Penile function testing uses Doppler ultrasound and other non-invasive methods to assess arterial inflow and venous outflow in the penis. It helps identify vascular insufficiency as a cause of erectile dysfunction.

  • Non-invasive and safe
  • Assesses arterial and venous function
  • Guides targeted therapy for impotence
How Does It Work?

Doppler ultrasound is used to measure blood flow in the penile arteries before and after pharmacological stimulation. The results help determine if there is arterial insufficiency, venous leak, or other vascular abnormalities.

  • Standardized stimulation and measurement protocol
  • Real-time monitoring of blood flow and pressure
  • Automated data capture and analysis
Clinical Value

Penile function testing is invaluable for:

  • Diagnosing vascular causes of erectile dysfunction
  • Guiding treatment and monitoring outcomes
  • Supporting early intervention and improved patient care

This test is recommended in clinical guidelines for the evaluation of impotence and is a mainstay in vascular labs.
