Evaluation of erectile dysfunction and sleep-related erections

C A Moore et al. J Psychosom Res. 1997 Jun.

Abstract

Significant advances in this past decade have improved our understanding of erectile physiology. A variety of tests are available for diagnosing impotence. SRE testing provides objective physiological information that is useful for indexing erectile capability and formulating a rational treatment plan. As such, SRE testing is a powerful noninvasive tool for assessing dysfunction. Nonetheless, in making a final diagnosis, the skillful clinician relies on more than one assessment parameter and on clinical acumen.
