Dopplerography in Nikolaev

The cause of erectile dysfunction in men may be changes in the vascular bed. One of the most valuable modern methods of diagnosing erectile dysfunction of vascular genesis is dopplerography. This method is based on the reflection of ultrasound waves from moving erythrocytes and enables to estimate the speed of blood flow and its vessels.

How is dopplerography performed?

Immediately before the dopplerography of the penis vessels, special vasoactive substances are injected into the cavernous bodies of the penis. This is necessary for the appearance of erection, under conditions of which the blood flow will be examined. Upon its achievement, the specialist conducts ultrasound scanning, during which it is possible to evaluate the structure and shape of the vessels of the penis, their diameter, the condition of the walls, the state of the surrounding tissues, and the velocity of blood flow through the vessels.

Vasculogenic (i.e., vascular) erectile dysfunctions can be caused by various diseases. One of them is Peyronie’s disease, the causes of which have not yet been established. This pathology is accompanied by the appearance of plaques on the albugineous tunic of the penis, which leads to its deformity during erection.

Various injuries of the penis also result in damage to blood vessels and, as a consequence, to a violation of normal blood supply.

Another reason that needs timely diagnostics is erectile dysfunction - cicatricial changes in the cavernous bodies of the penis, that is, the replacement of their structure with a connective tissue. This disease is called cavernous fibrosis, and it occurs against the background of injuries, surgical interventions and inflammatory diseases.

The cause of vascular erectile dysfunction can also be neoplasms of various genesis, not only tumors directly compressing the vessels, but also neoplasms that affect the nerve trunks.

At the first manifestations of abnormalities in the work of the genitals, a man should consult a urologist, since such diseases are easier to treat at the initial stages.
