Penile Prosthesis and Erectile Dysfunction Diagnosis

Penile prosthesis procedures and erectile dysfunction diagnosis are best left to the most experienced urology specialists in the field of impotence. In many fields of medicine most surgeons and internal medicine doctors have experience in specific diagnostics and surgeries. Dr. Gheiler has been leading the field and helping thousands of men with analyzing and fixing erectile dysfunction.

Penile prosthesis procedures have been determined to be the best solution after doctor Gheiler and his medical staff has performed specific tests based on symptoms, medical history, and personal choices. Checking the blood flow in the penis with an ultrasound machine shows how much blood is flowing which helps to determine if there is enough blood to create an erection. Dr. Gheiler may give medication that can increase blood flow through the penis just before the ultrasound test. This can also help determine if oral erectile dysfunction medication will be effective and what dose would be appropriate. When blood flow is impeded vasculogenic impotence may be the diagnosis which is a primary reason for a penile prosthesis procedure.

Taking blood pressure measurements and Doppler readings help to pinpoint where the blood is not flowing or not flowing sufficiently. Another aspect is determining if blood can be maintained in the penis over a sustained period. The other side of the coin is the detrimental effects of using medication to increase blood flow to the penis. For those taking blood pressure medication or that have cardiovascular disease, erectile dysfunction medications that draw blood to the penis may create a dangerous sudden drop in blood pressure. There have also been trends in the abuse of high doses of erectile dysfunction medications which cause dangerous drops in blood pressure and creating priapism or an erection lasting more than four hours. This can create further erectile dysfunction problems. When this occurs it is important to go directly to the urologist or the emergency room.

Often general medical conditions such as an inactive lifestyle, being overweight, excessive drinking of alcohol, depression, along with emotional and stressful situations can lead to erectile dysfunction. Making a concerted effort to correct or adjust these conditions may be all that is needed to get back in the game. In most cases of erectile dysfunction our urologists can diagnose the problems that are hindering the erection from its normal function, explain it to you in easy to understand terms, and help come up with several options immediately.
