Abstract

Objective: Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test is a time-consuming, cumbersome, and relatively expensive method which is used for the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction (ED). The aims of the study were to clarify the relationship between erotic and nocturnal erections and to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the audiovisual sexual stimulation (AVSS) test with and without medication. Materials and methods: A total of 30 patients with ED were examined. Each patient filled in an International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) questionnaire. AVSS and NPT tests were performed using the RigiScan Plus. AVSS test was performed with and without medication (sildenafil citrate 50 mg). Patients were divided into two groups (psychogenic and organic groups) according to NPT and AVSS test results. Results: The mean age of the patients was 46.4 (23-69) years and IIEF-5 score was 10.8±4.5. Positive AVSS test was found in 18 (85.7%) of the 21 patients with positive NPT test. Negative AVSS test was found in 7 (77, 8%) of the 9 patients with negative NPT test. The specificity of AVSS test was 85.7% and sensitivity was 77.8% for the psychogenic groups. The overall accuracy rate was 83.3%. Conclusion: The NPT test is more expensive, cumbersome, and discomfortable than the AVSS test. Although efficiency of both tests is similar, the AVSS test seems more advantageous. We suggest that the AVSS test without medication should be performed as the first step in the diagnosis of the patients with ED. In patients with negative test result, the AVSS test with medication should be performed as the second step diagnostic method.

Özet

Amaç: Erektil disfonksiyon (ED) tanısında nokturnal penil tümesans (NPT) testi zaman kaybına ve rahatsızlığa neden olan, rölatif olarak pahalı bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı nokturnal ve erotik ereksiyon arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamak ve medikasyonlu ve medikasyonsuz vizüel seksüel stimulasyon (VSS) testinin tanısal etkinliğini incelemektir. Gereç ve yöntem: ED’si olan toplam 30 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastalara International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) formu doldurtuldu. RigiScan Plus ile tüm hastalara VSS ve NPT testleri uygulandı. VSS testleri medikasyonlu (50 mg sildenafil sitrat) ve medikasyonsuz olarak yapıldı. Hastalar NPT ve VSS test sonuçlarına göre psikojenik ve organik olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma grubundaki hastaların ortalama yaşı 46.4 (23-69), IIEF-5 skoru 10.8±4.5 idi. Pozitif NPT testi olan 21 hastanın 18’inde (%85.7) VSS testi de pozitif bulundu. Negatif NPT testi olan 9 hastanın ise 7’sinde (%77.8) VSS testi negatif idi. Psikojenik grupta VSS testinin spesifitesi %85.7 ve sensitivitesi %77.8 olarak bulundu. Toplam doğruluk oranı ise %83.3 idi. Sonuç: VSS testi ile karşılaştırıldığında NPT testi daha pahalı, can sıkıcı ve rahatsız edicidir. Her iki testin etkinliği benzer olmasına rağmen VSS testi daha avanyajlı gibi durmaktadır. ED tanısında tanı yöntemi olarak medikasyonsuz VSS’yi başlangıç değerlendirmesinde önermekteyiz. VSS negatif olan hastalarda ise medikasyonlu VSS tanıda ikinci aşama olarak kullanılmalıdır.
