Electrophysiologic testing of the bulbocavernosus reflex is often part of the routine workup of erectile dysfunction. To assess how often prolonged or absent reflexes occur 100 consecutive males with erectile dysfunction, who had been referred to a hospital-based medial sexology program, were tested. Four per cent had prolonged latency times (greater than 43 msec), and an additional 5 per cent had an absent reflex. Bulbocavernosus reflex testing needs to be done in males where penile revascularization, or sex therapy, or both, are being considered as therapeutic options. An abnormal latency would contraindicate revascularization and should limit outcome expectations of sex therapy. It does not need to be a routine part of the diagnostic workup.
球海绵体反射的电生理测试常常是勃起功能障碍常规检查的一部分。为评估延长或缺失的反射出现的频率，对连续100名被转诊至一家医院性医学项目的勃起功能障碍男性进行了测试。4%的人潜伏期延长（超过43毫秒），另有5%的人反射缺失。对于考虑采用阴茎血管重建术、性治疗或两者兼用作为治疗选择的男性，需要进行球海绵体反射测试。潜伏期异常会成为血管重建术的禁忌证，并应限制对性治疗效果的期望。它无需成为诊断检查的常规部分。
