Penile Doppler
Erectile dysfunction is a common medical problem in men that can have a significant impact on the person’s physical, emotional and psychosocial health. However, erectile dysfunction is treatable – provided you consult an experienced urologist. In most cases, your urologist will suggest getting a penile doppler test done which is most effective in assessing erectile dysfunction.
City X-Ray specialises in penile doppler ultrasound which is primarily used to determine the type of erectile dysfunction a patient has - vascular or non-vascular. Poor vascular health is considered one of the primary causes of ED, resulting in an imbalance between the arterial inflow of blood to the penis and venous outflow. ED may also be caused by several other factors such as lumps, fibrosis, plaques or even cancer.
If you are looking for a high-quality and affordable penile doppler test price in Delhi, City X-Ray & Scan Clinic is a name you can trust. We leverage advanced technologies and the expertise of our consultant urologists to ensure improved accuracy of the ultrasound test.

Key Purposes of a Penile Doppler Ultrasound
There may be several reasons why your urologist may recommend getting a penile doppler ultrasound done – primarily related to erectile dysfunction:
- Evaluate penile blood flow: Evaluate the vascular health of your genitals to understand if blood flows optimally in and out of the genitals.
- Vascular Abnormalities: Determine the cause of erectile dysfunction, including poor vascular health, plaque in the blood vessels, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. which can damage the blood vessels and affect the flow of blood to the genitals.
- Diagnose Erectile Dysfunction: Helps identify vascular causes of erectile dysfunction.
- Post-Surgical Assessment: Monitors blood flow after penile surgery or trauma.
- Evaluate Peyronie’s Disease: Assesses penile curvature and fibrosis related to Peyronie’s disease.
- Guide Treatment: Aids in planning treatment options for erectile dysfunction or other penile conditions.
On the other hand, if you are suffering from outflow ED, then medications causing a greater inflow during erection may not be suitable to hold the erection. Taking a penile doppler ultrasound near me at City X-Ray can help me understand the type of erectile dysfunction you have, thereby, determining the right therapy or medications.

How Is A Penile Doppler Test Performed?
During the test, you need to lie down on your back. Our experienced technologist will then inject a vasodilator drug into your penile tissue using a fine needle. This will help relax your blood vessels, and we can begin the ultrasound process.
Our consultant radiologist will gently press the ultrasound transducer(Probe) along the sides of your genitals, sending ultrasound waves and capturing the echoes. The computer will collect the echo and pitch details in the form of a video feed that will help show how blood flows in and out of the penis.
The ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure and does not cause any side effects. It is safe to perform under the guidance of our experienced consultant radiologists. If your penile erection stays longer than the test duration, you might be given another injection that causes the penis to become flaccid again.
