Impotence caused by multiple calcifications in the corpus cavernosum of the penis has many characteristics, such as difficulty in erecting for more than one year and progressive aggravation; Most of them are in middle age, with a majority aged from 40 to 55 years; Disease does not affect sexual desire; It is often associated with diabetes, hypertension and other diseases; Doppler ultrasound examination of the corpus cavernosum of the penis can indicate extensive and small calcifications in the corpus cavernosum of the penis.
Multiple calcification of the corpus cavernosum of the penis should be distinguished from scleroderma of the penis during diagnosis. During palpation, the penis is soft and free from abnormalities. During Doppler ultrasound examination, multiple calcification of the corpus cavernosum of the penis does not involve the white membrane of the corpus cavernosum of the penis, and impotence caused by multiple calcification of the corpus cavernosum of the penis will not cause erectile pain and bending.
The cavernous body is an erectile tissue, surrounded by a thick white membrane, and internally composed of connective tissue and smooth muscles, forming a spongy scaffold. Its cavity communicates with blood vessels. When the cavity is filled with blood, the penis thickens and hardens, causing an erection. It can be seen that the cavernous body is an important organ organization for penis erection. When the cavernous body of the penis is frequently calcified, the cavernous body undergoes pathological changes, resulting in congestion disorders in the cavernous body, which affects penis erection, Causes impotence. When impotence occurs, the primary lesion should be treated first. Generally, as long as the primary lesion is cured, impotence caused by organic causes will also be cured.
