Need info for my client about impotency test in hyderabad

Dear G.M.R.

These days, men who have to undergo an exam related to impotence for legal purposes, are likely to be given one of two diagnostic texts.

One of these is something called the Nocturnal Penile Tumescence, NPT for short, which measures the number of spontaneous erections that occur at night, usually during the rapid-eye-movement phase of sleep, and whether these fall within the typical range.

“A gadget is attached to the patient and this is usually done in the sleep lab. We can send the apparatus home with the patient also,” said Dr. D. Ramesh, a urologist based in Bangalore and secretary of the Urological Society of India, explaining how the NPT test works. The device measures changes in the size of the penis through the night. “It is just like recording brain activity.”

Another test to examine whether a man is physically likely to be able to have an erection is the Penile Color Doppler sonography an ultrasound test that measures blood flow to the penis. “If blood flow is very low it would strongly suggest someone has a physiological problem,” said Dr. Rupin S. Shah, a Mumbai-based andrologist, a medical specialization focusing on the male reproductive system and s*xual function.
