Erectile Disfunction Self Test And Assessment
A simplest way to know the exact reason is to take a very easy erectile disfunction self-test at home that involves using 4-6 postage stamps.
The Method To Conduct The Erectile Disfunction Self Assessment Stamp Test:
1. Select three nights to conduct this test when one can get uninterrupted sleep. Do not drink alcohol and do not take any sleep-inducing medicine for at least two days prior to the test.2. Every night wear briefs to bed bringing out the penis through the fly and with very little pubic hair.
3. Wrap a strip of 4-6 stamps around the shaft of the penis in such a way that it overlaps the stamps and moistens the end of one to seal the ring.
4. After the seal has dried replace the penis carefully inside the underwear by keeping the underwear on so as to protect the stamps from falling off.
5. Then check in the morning whether the stamp ring has been broken at the perforations or not. If awakened at night due to the tearing of the stamps, check for erection and rigidity of the same.
Erectile Disfunction Self-Test Result
If the ring of stamps breaks at the perforation even once in three nights, it means that theerection problem is due to psychological cause. If the stamps do not break during the three nights’ period of testing the erection problem is related to a physical condition or is due to impotence-causing medication.
Discuss The Erectile Disfunction Self Test With Your Doctor
Inform your doctor or psychologist about these in order to assess erectile dysfunction. This could help in diagnosis and treatment of impotence as there is no substitute to an open discussion with a qualified, empathetic physician about ED. The results can give the doctor a better idea of how to assess the erectile dysfunction medically. Then the doctor can check the intensity of ED on an Erectile Dysfunction Intensity Scale. The intensity is calculated based on set of five questions and answers to these questions and the scores are awarded from 5-25.The result of severity classification can be done on following basis:
If the total score is between 5 and 10, it represents a severe case of ED. If the total score is between 11 and 15 it represents a moderate case of erectile dysfunction.
