péniszultrahang

Péniszultrahang is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to visualize the penis. It is a non-invasive procedure that can provide detailed information about the internal structures of the penis, including the erectile tissues (corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum), blood vessels, and urethra. The examination is typically performed by a trained radiologist or urologist.

The procedure involves applying a water-based gel to the skin of the penis and then moving a transducer over the surface. The transducer emits sound waves that travel into the penis and bounce back as echoes. These echoes are interpreted by the ultrasound machine to create images. For some examinations, such as assessing erectile dysfunction, a medication may be injected into the penis to induce an erection, allowing for a dynamic assessment of blood flow.

Péniszultrahang is commonly used to diagnose and evaluate a variety of conditions. These include erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease (curvature of the penis due to scar tissue), penile trauma, suspected tumors, and abnormalities of the blood vessels. It can also be used to guide biopsies or aspirations if a suspicious lesion is identified. The procedure is generally painless and has no known side effects. The results are typically available immediately after the examination.
