***監測裝置 Erectile monitoring device

本創作係有關於一種監測裝置，尤指一種可用以監測陰莖***次數、***時間、***硬度之裝置。 This creation relates to a monitoring device, and more particularly to a device that can be used to monitor the number of penile erections, erection time, and erection stiffness.

***功能障礙(Erectile dysfunction,ED)，為男性性功能障礙的一種，是***時陰莖不能***或維持***以滿足性生活，病程3個月以上者。中文俗稱陽痿、不舉或者性無能。 Erectile dysfunction (ED), a type of male sexual dysfunction, is a condition in which the penis cannot erect or maintain an erection during sexual intercourse to satisfy sexual life. The course of disease is more than 3 months. Chinese is commonly known as impotence, not to mention or sexual incompetence.

人類陰莖的***功能是男性生殖系統在各種環境因素作用下，在體內複雜的神經、內分泌調節下完成的，其功能狀況也會受到個體的精神、心理以及複雜的社會因素的影響。因此，如果上述一個或多個環節出現問題，比如心理問題，在精神壓力過大的情況的下，就可能導致***功能障礙。當發生***功能障礙時，又可能反過來對上述環節產生不良影響，還比如心理問題，在出現***功能障礙的時候，患者的精神壓力會更大，在性生活的過程中就會背負更重的心理包袱，這樣***功能障礙反而會更重、如果再失敗就會更沒信心、越沒信心、壓力就越大，形成惡性循環。 The erectile function of the human penis is accomplished under the action of various environmental factors, under the complex neurological and endocrine regulation of the body, and its functional status is also affected by the individual's mental, psychological and complex social factors. Therefore, if one or more of the above problems occur, such as psychological problems, under conditions of excessive stress, erectile dysfunction may result. When erectile dysfunction occurs, it may adversely affect the above-mentioned links, such as psychological problems. In the case of erectile dysfunction, the patient's mental stress will be greater, and he will be heavier in the process of sexual life. The psychological burden, so erectile dysfunction will be heavier, if you fail again, you will have less confidence, less confidence, and greater pressure, forming a vicious circle.

***功能障礙的病因可分為三大類：(1)器質性-由血管、 神經、內分泌系統，或是陰莖海綿體本身異常或受損所引起，特徵是慢慢發作，臨床上有明顯的促發因子，及大部分的病人早上睡醒時陰莖會***不佳。(2)心因性-單純心裡因素，如生活經濟壓力或夫妻感情不睦，特徵是急性變差，病患年紀較輕，早上睡醒或是在其他狀況，可以有正常的***。(3)混合性-病人有以器質性為主，但其症狀輕微，卻因伴有心理的影響，造成其***功能明顯不全。 The causes of erectile dysfunction can be divided into three categories: (1) organic - by blood vessels, The nerves, the endocrine system, or the abnormal or damaged corpus cavernosum itself are characterized by a slow onset, clinically significant triggering factors, and most patients have poor penile erections when they wake up in the morning. (2) psychogenicity - simple psychological factors, such as life economic pressure or marital relationship, characterized by acute deterioration, the patient is younger, wake up in the morning or in other conditions, can have a normal erection. (3) Mixedness - The patient is mainly organic, but the symptoms are mild, but with the psychological influence, the erectile function is obviously incomplete.

在檢查***功能障礙的部分，現在國際上最常用的即是「***功能國際指標」問卷，其內容共15題，簡單扼要，可信度高，在全球以30多種語言進行評估與驗證。亞洲***功能障礙諮詢暨訓練委員會，更將其簡化為五題，將使民眾更易於自我評估，以便及早尋求適當的治療。此外根據患者的病情或治療選擇的需要，醫師除了進行病史及一般身體檢查外，還會選擇性的進行下列檢查：生化及賀爾蒙的檢查、視聽刺激及藥物誘發陰莖***試驗、夜間陰莖***監測檢查、複合式都卜勒超音波陰莖血流檢查、陰莖海綿體血流動力學檢查和陰莖海綿體動、靜脈血管攝影檢查。 In the examination of erectile dysfunction, the most commonly used internationally is the "International Index of Erectile Function" questionnaire, which contains 15 questions, is simple and concise, and has high credibility. It is evaluated and verified in more than 30 languages around the world. The Asian Erectile Dysfunction Advisory and Training Committee, which has been simplified to five, will make it easier for people to self-assess so that appropriate treatment can be sought early. In addition to the patient's condition or treatment choices, in addition to medical history and general physical examination, physicians will also selectively perform the following tests: biochemical and hormone examination, audio-visual stimulation and drug-induced penile erection test, night penile erection Monitoring and examination, composite Doppler ultrasound penile blood flow examination, corpus cavernosum hemodynamic examination and corpus cavernosum dynamic and venous angiography.

其中夜間陰莖***(Nocturnal penile tumescencea,NPT)是指睡眠時陰莖的自發***。一般情況下，健康男性自嬰兒時期到老年都有夜間***。正常情況下每晚大約有4~6次***，每次20至40分鐘的***，總共***可達兩個半小時，隨著年齡的增長，***時間逐漸縮短。夜間陰莖***常發生在睡眠的快速動眼期，通常夜間***發生很突然，並很快達到最大硬度，消退也很快，所以有些男子在晨間清醒時並不知道陰莖有過***。夜間***是潛意識的陰莖活動的客觀表現，也是清醒狀態下陰莖***能力的可靠生物學指標。當檢測夜間陰莖***正常存在時，說明***的基本條 件，無論是血管、神經還是內分泌的調控均正常，反之，***條件的任何一項不正常，都會引起夜間陰莖***的異常。因此，夜間陰莖***是否正常存在，是目前準確地判斷患者***狀況，鑒別心因性和器質性的可靠手段。 Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) refers to the spontaneous erection of the penis during sleep. In general, healthy men have night erections from infancy to old age. Under normal circumstances, there are about 4 to 6 erections per night, 20 to 40 minutes of erection every time. The total erection can reach two and a half hours. As you get older, the erection time is gradually shortened. At night, penile erection often occurs during the rapid eye movement of sleep. Usually, the night erection occurs suddenly, and the maximum hardness is quickly reached, and the regression is also very fast. Therefore, some men do not know that the penis has an erection when they are awake in the morning. Night erection is an objective manifestation of subconscious penile activity and a reliable biological indicator of penile erection ability in awake state. When detecting the normal presence of a nighttime penile erection, the basic strip indicating the erection The regulation of blood vessels, nerves or endocrine is normal. Conversely, any abnormality of erection conditions can cause abnormalities of erection at night. Therefore, whether the penile erection at night is normal or not is a reliable means to accurately determine the erectile condition of the patient and to distinguish between psychogenicity and organicity.

夜間陰莖***大多使用NEVA陰莖***生物電測定系統和硬度測試儀進行監測檢查。NEVA陰莖***生物電測定系統的原理是利用電生物阻抗技術，其理論基礎是根據陰莖在疲軟和***的不同狀態下生物電阻抗的變化來計算陰莖血容量的變化，其系統體積龐大、價格昂貴，且操作複雜，只能在大型醫院中使用。而硬度測試儀在市面上最常見的產品為”Rigiscan Plus”，其具有馬達和套環，套環套於陰莖的前端和根部，馬達以較小的拉力拉動套環，然後突然放鬆，恢復到無負載狀態，監測並測試陰莖膨脹程度，當膨脹度達到一定程度時，硬度測試儀開始每30秒測試一次，馬達改以較大的拉力拉動陰莖1秒，並自動記錄硬度變化情況，這種監測會持續重覆地進行，雖然其體積雖較小，但馬達重覆拉動環繞陰莖的套環，會讓使用者感到不適，甚至可能根本無法入睡來測量夜間陰莖***。 Night penile erections are mostly monitored using the NEVA penile erection bioelectrical measurement system and hardness tester. The principle of the NEVA penile erection bioelectrical measurement system is to use the electrical bioimpedance technology. The theoretical basis is to calculate the change of penile blood volume according to the changes of the bioelectrical impedance of the penis in different states of weakness and erection. The system is bulky and expensive. And the operation is complicated and can only be used in large hospitals. The most common product on the market for hardness testers is the "Rigiscan Plus", which has a motor and a collar. The collar is placed over the front end and root of the penis. The motor pulls the collar with a small pulling force and then suddenly relaxes and returns to No load condition, monitor and test the degree of penile expansion. When the degree of expansion reaches a certain level, the hardness tester starts to test every 30 seconds. The motor changes the penis for 1 second with a large pulling force, and automatically records the hardness change. The monitoring will continue to be repeated, although the volume is small, but the motor repeatedly pulls the collar around the penis, which may cause discomfort to the user, and may even be unable to sleep at all to measure the nighttime penile erection.
