Abstract:
ObjectiveTo compare the nocturnal erectile function between SRPE patients and normal people. MethodsFrom July 1st， 2019 to December 15th， 2022， a clinical comparative study was conducted on 29 SRPE patients （experimental group） and 58 volunteers （control group） who visited our urology department. The Rigiscan System was used to monitor sleep monitoring time， the number of nocturnal erections and the rigidity， duration and circumference growth of the penis when the erection reached 60%～79% and 80%～100%， respectively. The patients and volunteers were asked to make written records when they woke up， and then the total number of awakenings and the number of awakenings when the penis erection reached 60% and 80% were compared between the two groups. ResultsAge was eliminated by matching. There was no statistically significant difference in sleep monitoring time， rigidity， circumference growth and duration of the penis when the erection reached 60%～79% and 80%～100%. between the two groups. In terms of sleep， there was a statistically significant difference in the total number of awakenings between the two groups［3（2 ~ 4）vs 0（0 ~ 0），P<0.01］ .And the same was true for the number of awakenings when the penis erection exceeded 60%～79% ［1（0 ~ 1）vs 0（0 ~ 0），P<0.01］and 80%～100% ［2（1 ~ 3）vs 0（0 ~ 0），P<0.01］. ConclusionRigiscan monitoring showed that there was no difference between SRPE patients and normal male in nocturnal penile erection function. Painful awakening usually occurs when the penis erection reaches 60%～79% or 80%～100%， which reveals that SRPE may be caused by abnormal sensation of nocturnal erections or pain sensitivity in some of these patients.
