Relationship Between Perineal Muscle Contractions, Penile Tumescence, and Penile Rigidity During Nocturnal Erections

open access: yesJournal of Urology, 1988
The mechanism of penile erection and erectile dysfunction is still unclear and widely debated. The role of the perineal muscles in the erectile process, especially in changes in intracavernous pressure, is increasingly being studied on the hypothesis that perineal muscular contractions are essential to full penile rigidity.

The Role of Nocturnal Penile Tumescence and Rigidity (NPTR) Monitoring in the Diagnosis of Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction: A Review

Sexual Medicine Reviews, 2019
Nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity (NPTR) monitoring with RigiScan was considered one of the most reliable methods to differentiate psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED) from organic ED. However, its reliability has been questioned because of some limitations in the practice.To present contemporary views on the role of NPTR monitoring in the ...

Effects of yohimbine on sexual experiences and nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity in erectile dysfunction

Archives of Sexual Behavior, 1996
The therapeutic effect of the alpha 2-antagonist yohimbine in erectile dysfunction was studied in a double-blind placebo-controlled design. Thirty-one male patients underwent extensive clinical, urological, and psychiatric diagnosis and were dichotomically classified into an organic and a nonorganic subgroup.

Comparison of Rigiscan and Formal Nocturnal Penile Tumescence Testing in the Evaluation of Erectile Rigidity

open access: yesJournal of Urology, 1993
Evaluation of male erectile function ideally should include measurement of axial rigidity expressed as grams force required to produce penile buckling. An axial rigidity more than 550 gm. is generally considered adequate for vaginal penetration. Unfortunately, this test cannot be done frequently and may disrupt sleep.

Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) and rigidity monitoring in neurogenic impotence: Interpretations and limitations

Sexuality and Disability, 1994
This paper describes the current state of nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) testing for men with neurogenic impotence. The paper describes the development of the procedure and offers suggestions regarding interpretations of NPT and rigidity findings. In addition, the paper discusses techniques for assessing the neurogenic causes of impotence as well as

Testosterone and erectile function, nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity, and erectile response to visual erotic stimuli in hypogonadal and eugonadal men

open access: yesPsychoneuroendocrinology, 1992
Further evidence that nocturnal erections are androgen-dependent and erectile responses to visual erotic stimuli are androgen-independent is presented from six men with secondary hypogonadism and six eugonadal controls. Erections during sleep were substantially less in the hypogonadal men, in terms of both tumescence and rigidity. In response to visual

[Continuous monitoring of nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity in the evaluation of erection disorders. Preliminary data].

open access: yesArchivos espanoles de urologia, 1991
Nocturnal penile tumescence measurements continues to be an important step in the diagnosis of impaired erectile function. We present our experience with this technique employed on 65 patients who consulted at our andrologic center. Our results corroborate the importance of the NPR-R test with the Rigi-Scan in the evaluation of this pathology to ensure

The effects of testosterone replacement on nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity and erectile response to visual erotic stimuli in hypogonadal men

Psychoneuroendocrinology, 1995
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) and erectile response to visual erotic stimuli (VES) were measured, by means of a Rigiscan device, in nine hypogonadal men, and repeated after 3 months of androgen replacement. The same assessments were carried out once in 12 eugonadal controls.
