Avsaknad av adekvat erektionskvalitet för penilt ultraljud hos 5 patienter i huvudgruppen är associerad med en allvarlig grad av vaskulogen ED. Det instabila tidsintervallet för uppkomsten av en fullständig erektion i huvudgruppen beror på olika typer av penila hemodynamiska störningar och sexuell excitabilitet hos patienterna.

Detta motiveras av kontraindikationer och komplikationer med intrakavernös metod för erektionsinduktion: rädsla för injektion och därmed hög sympatisk ton åtföljt av vasokonstriktion av peniskärl, vilket leder till falskt positiva resultat; penissmärta; hematom och blödningar; långvarig erektion; fibros i kavernösa kroppar [1,8]. Dessutom finns det kontraindikationer relaterade till blodsjukdomar och koagulationsrubbningar.
