[Hemodynamometry of erectile dysfunction].
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical causes of the erectile dysfunction (ED).


METHODS
One hundred and thirty cases of ED were examined by hemonamometry and cavernosography with vasodilating agent. The data about penile brachial index, intracavernous pressure, maintenance flow rate, and pressure loss change were obtained and the status of the penile veins was detected.


RESULTS
Among 130 patients with ED, 39 had venous leakage including penile arterial insufficiency simultaneous venous leakage in 15 patients. Various leakage sites were observed by using cavernosography. Twenty-eight patients showed deep dorsal veins only and the remaining crural veins.


CONCLUSIONS
Hemodynamometry is effective to diagnose the cause of ED.
