METHOD OF DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF FORM OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, in particular to urology. Method includes carrying out ultrasonic Dopplerography (USDG) of vessels of penis, prostate gland and testicles before and after intake of medication which is inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5 (IPDE-5) in average therapeutic dose and the following, after 1 hour, estimation of USDG-parameters. Mean total index of maximal blood flow in penis, prostate gland and testicles is calculated. Background indices of mean total blood flow are compared with average statistical age norm and with results of testing. If said index, reduced by 30% and more in comparison with norm, after testing increases by 60% and more, reversible form of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction is diagnosed. If similarly reduced background index increases by less than 30%, low-reversible form of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction is diagnosed. If normal or reduced by 20% and less background index increases by less than 30%, non-vasculogenic form of erectile dysfunction is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method ensures increase of accuracy of differential diagnostics of various forms of dysfunction, which specifies selection and prognosis of treatment.
