Autoexamen de erección - Risks

Nombres alternativos

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

Riesgos:

No existen riesgos.

Consideraciones:

Este examen ya casi no se hace, ya que no es muy preciso y hay mejores pruebas disponibles para vigilar el flujo sanguíneo. Este examen no muestra muchos factores importantes de la disfunción sexual como la calidad, la duración o el número de erecciones durante la noche.
