Currently, male reproductive examinations mainly include sex hormone level measurement, routine urological and reproductive system examination, laboratory examination, and cardiovascular examination. For men with sexual dysfunction, they should promptly go to the hospital for a reproductive examination. In daily life, they should also develop good living habits, avoid staying up late for a long time, and ensure sufficient sleep time.
1. Cardiovascular examination, such as cardiac function measurement, electrocardiogram, etc., to understand myocardial oxygen consumption, cardiac output, effective circulating blood volume, blood viscosity, vascular elasticity coefficient, and total peripheral resistance, which helps diagnose vascular impotence.
2. The measurement of sex hormone levels in men, specifically the level of testosterone, has a certain impact on erectile function and libido. Endocrine disorders can affect sex hormone levels, and detecting hormone levels can help diagnose endocrine-related sexual dysfunction.
3. Routine urological and reproductive system examinations, such as prostate examinations and reproductive tract inflammation examinations.
4. Laboratory tests, including blood and urine routine tests, fasting blood glucose, high and low-density lipoproteins, and liver and kidney function tests, which are diagnostically significant in detecting erectile dysfunction caused by diabetes, lipid metabolism disorders, chronic liver and kidney diseases, etc.
5. Male reproductive examinations mainly focus on whether the external genitalia and pubic hair development are normal, whether they are dense, whether the size and shape of the bilateral testes are normal, whether the penis development is normal, and whether there is excessive foreskin or phimosis. Male reproductive examinations should also include semen routine examination. Usually, patients need to abstain from sexual activity for 3-7 days and then collect semen in the morning. It is best to urinate before collecting semen to avoid urine contamination.
