Measurement of penile blood pressure has been advocated for investigation of erectile impotence due to arterial insufficiency in the penis. Using both strain gauge plethysmography and ultrasonic technique, and expressing the penile blood pressure as an index of the brachial blood pressure, the coefficient of variation in double determinations in non-arteriosclerotic, potent men was 6%. The normal range of the index was 0.7 to 1.02. More than 90% of men with arteriosclerotic disease of the legs and penile blood pressure index below 0.60 were impotent. The penile blood pressure thus can demonstrate, though it does not exclude, arterial insufficiency in the penis.
阴茎血压测量已被提倡用于研究因阴茎动脉供血不足导致的勃起功能障碍。使用应变片体积描记法和超声技术，并将阴茎血压表示为肱动脉血压的指数，在非动脉硬化、性功能正常的男性中，两次测定的变异系数为6%。该指数的正常范围是0.7至1.02。超过90%患有腿部动脉硬化疾病且阴茎血压指数低于0.60的男性存在勃起功能障碍。因此，阴茎血压虽不能排除，但可以显示阴茎的动脉供血不足。
