What is Penile Doppler Ultrasound?
Penile Doppler ultrasound is a specialised vascular imaging test used to assess blood flow to and from the penis.
Following administration of a vasoactive agent, ultrasound measurements evaluate arterial inflow and venous outflow, allowing accurate differentiation between arteriogenic, venogenic, and mixed erectile dysfunction.
It is the gold-standard investigation for vascular ED.

FAQ — Penile Doppler Ultrasound & ED Treatment
What does a penile Doppler ultrasound show?
It measures blood flow into and out of the penis, helping diagnose vascular causes of erectile dysfunction.
Is the test painful?
Discomfort is minimal. A small injection is used to induce erection for accurate assessment.
Will the erection last after the test?
No. The erection is monitored and resolves naturally or with treatment before you leave the clinic.
Can ED be treated effectively?
Yes. Most men respond well to targeted treatment once the underlying cause is identified.
Is ED a sign of heart disease?
It can be. ED may be an early marker of cardiovascular disease, which is why medical assessment is important.
Is this covered by private insurance?
Coverage depends on insurer policy and indication. Self-pay options are available.
