Normal value of penis blood flow

The male reproductive organs are a very important part, but diseases often occur in this area, which is quite serious. Because once the disease occurs, it will affect men's normal life, so we should learn more protective measures to prevent the occurrence of diseases. Then the blood flow to the penis has its own normal range. Therefore, it is important to control this range to avoid other disease problems. So what is the normal value of penile blood flow?

Penile flow index (PFI) is a non-invasive method to measure the blood supply status of the penis. It is generally believed that PFI < 6 indicates normal penile blood vessels; if PFI>

6, then angiography will show the lesion. The closer the occlusive lesion is to the penile arterioles, the greater the PFI value.

Normal value

PFI < 6 indicates normal penile blood vessels.

Clinical significance

Abnormal results: If PFI> 6, the angiogram will show a lesion. The closer the occlusive lesion is to the penile arterioles, the greater the PFI value. People who need to be examined: patients with sexual dysfunction.

Precautions

Unsuitable people: patients with penis damage.

Taboos before examination:

(1) The examinee needs to make an appointment for the procedure;

(2) Before the examination, the patient should explain his/her usual erectile function and ejaculation latency period to the doctor;

(3) A few days before the physical examination, pay attention to your diet, do not eat too much greasy, indigestible food, do not drink alcohol, and do not take medicines that may damage liver and kidney function;

(4) The day before the physical examination, you should take good rest, avoid strenuous exercise and emotional excitement, and ensure adequate sleep to avoid affecting the physical examination results. It would be best to take a shower.

Requirements for inspection:

(1) Do not be shy or nervous during the examination to avoid accelerating blood flow and affecting the examination results.

(2) During the inspection, the patient should lie flat on the detector and should not move around.

(3) Actively cooperate with the doctor and take good care of the equipment.

Inspection process

Ask the patient to lie flat on the detector, and use the ultrasonic probe to transmit ultrasonic waves to the human blood vessels. The probe receives the echo signal to obtain the average blood flow velocity, and detects the penile cavernous artery blood vessels. The penile blood flow index (PFI value) is automatically calculated by the computer to determine whether the sexual dysfunction is caused by vascular lesions. It can also be used to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
