Nombres alternativos

Prueba de las estampillas para la tumescencia peneana nocturna (TPN); Examen de la cinta en el pene durante la noche

Valores normales:

Durante al menos una de las noches, el anillo de estampillas se rompe a lo largo de alguna de las perforaciones que las separan.

Significado de los resultados anormales:

Si el anillo de estampillas se rompe, quiere decir que los problemas de erección que se presentan mientras usted está despierto pueden ser el resultado de una causa psicológica.

Si el anillo de estampillas no se rompe durante ninguna de las tres noches, puede ser un signo de que el problema de erección está relacionado con trastornos físicos o medicamentos y se debe solicitar una cita con un médico. Ver también: impotencia.
