RESUMO
Objective To analyze the characteristics of erectile dysfunction(ED)in aged men.Methods Erectile dysfunction(ED)was diagnosed according to the International Index of Erectile Function(IIEF).78 aged men(average 65.9 yrs)as the study group,and 82 young patients(average 36.0 yrs)as the control group,all with ED,Were compared in complicating diseases,self-rating SDS scores,penile-brachial indexes(PBI),the time of achieving erection,and ejaculatory latency time.Results The main complicating diseases in study group were cardiovascular diseases(42 cases,53.9%),lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS)(31 cases,39.7%)and diabetes(26 cases,33.3%).In the control group,the main complicating diseases were chronic prostatitis(52 cages,63.4%),premature ejaculation(PE)(32 cases,39.0%)and depression(12 csses,14.6%).SDS scores of study group and control group were(29.13±5.63)and(39.59±13.31),PBI were(0.78±0.12)and(0.91±0.06),the time of achieving erection were(13.85±5.75)min and(3.61±4.29)min,ejaculatory latency time were(7.03±5.35)min and(3.81±5.53)min.All with significant difference(P＜0.01).Conclusion Most of the ED old men were complicated with organic diseases,such as the time of achieving erection,PBI low scores and longer ejaculatory latency time.
RESUMO
The technology of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) was more and more popularly applied to the clinical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction (ED) in recent years since its introduction into this domain by Lue et al. CDU is preferable as a diagnostic means for its advantages of being convenient, non-impairing and easily repeatable. Nowadays, CDU is becoming a hotpoint of research. However, CDU still has some defects that have limited its application. This article reviews its mechanism, usage, research development and application combined with other diagnostic means, and introduces a new type of power-Doppler imaging.
