Penile ultrasound for erectile dysfunction, peyronies, and pelvic floor

Ultrasound scans are one of the most important examinations for finding the cause of erectile dysfunction, penile curvature (Peyronies) or pelvic floor disorders in both men and women.

At MS Insight, I use advanced Doppler ultrasound to analyze blood flow, tissue quality and muscle control – directly in the penis and pelvic floor.

This means we don’t guess. We find the exact cause and target treatment accordingly.

In many cases, we can identify why the erection has become weaker during the first consultation – and what is needed to improve it.

What can an ultrasound scan of the penis show?

An advanced ultrasound scan of the penis provides a unique insight into the structures and functions that are crucial for your sexual health, such as:

Blood flow in the penis
Tissue quality in the tumor bodies
Calcifications and plaque in Peyronie’s disease
Microchanges in the tissue that are not yet noticeable
Pelvic floor function and control
Signs of inflammation or irritation in the tissue
Size of the prosta
The ability to empty the bladder

Ultrasound scans provide clarity to find the right treatment method

In the clinic, I have one of the most advanced scanners from Sonosite for point of care ultrasound scanning, a Sonostite LX. In a short time, I can get images of unprecedented clarity, which helps to reveal the extent of your problem and thereby use it as a basis for choosing the treatment method and extent. I have 5 probes available, so I can do a wide range of scans

Why ultrasound scanning at MS Insight is different

There is a big difference between a standard scan and the type of examination I offer.

At MS Insight you get:

Advanced Doppler ultrasound with high resolution
Functional scanning – not just structure
Specialized knowledge in men’s health
Assessment of both penis and pelvic floor
Direct link between diagnosis and treatment

While others only look at one area, I see the big picture.

This results in a much more accurate diagnosis – and better results for subsequent treatment.

Ultrasound scan for erectile dysfunction

If you find that your erection has become weaker, less stable or harder to maintain, it’s essential to find the cause – not just treat the symptom.

With Doppler ultrasound, I can:

Measure blood flow in the pelvic floor and penis
Analyze the quality of the swell bodies
Identify early signs of circulatory problems
Identify if peyronies are involved
Measure the pumping function of the heart
Scan the carotid artery for calcifications

Many men are offered medication without a proper diagnosis.

In my practice, ultrasound scanning is a key part of a thorough examination so that treatment is targeted and effective.

Ultrasound scan for Peyronie’s disease (curvature of the penis)

In Peyronie’s disease, it is crucial to accurately assess plaque (scar tissue).

Ultrasound scanning makes it possible to:

Locate plaque accurately
Assess size and hardness
See if there is active inflammation
Follow developments over time

This is important because the treatment strategy depends on the stage of the disease.

Early and accurate diagnosis significantly increases the likelihood of improving the condition.

Ultrasound scan of the pelvic floor

The pelvic floor plays a much bigger role in erection, ejaculation and bladder function than most people realize.

By scanning, I can assess:

Activation and control of pelvic floor muscles
Tension state (overactive vs. weak pelvic floor)
The interaction between muscles and nerves
Possible causes of incontinence or urgency

This is especially relevant when:

Incontinence
Frequent urination
Pain in the pelvic area
Problems with control during sex

How does an ultrasound scan work?

The examination is thorough, but takes place in a calm and safe environment in a room where no one else can gain access.

A typical course of events:

Conversation about your symptoms and history
Ultrasound scan of relevant areas
Review findings in real-time
Treatment plan based on results

In many cases, we can start treatment on the same day to save time.

When should you get a penile ultrasound scan?

You should consider a scan if you experience:

Weak or unstable erection
Curvature or pain in the penis
Reduced sensitivity
Problems keeping your erection
Incontinence or frequent urination
Lack of effect of medication

The earlier the cause is identified, the better the chances of improving the situation.

From diagnosis to treatment

Ultrasound scanning is not an end in itself – it is the foundation for the right treatment.

Based on the scan, I can put together a targeted program that can typically include:

Shockwave therapy
EMTT (magnetic therapy)
Pelvic floor training
Optimizing blood flow
Lifestyle and sexuality advice

The goal is always the same:
To restore function, confidence and control.

FAQ

How does the ultrasound scan at MS Insight differ from the one you get at your GP?

At MS Insight, we typically use an ultrasound scanner with higher image quality than what you see at your GP or public urologist. We use high-frequency transducers with the ability to perform advanced double scans of organs, muscles and other structures in the body. MS Insight evaluates the tissue quality of the pelvic floor and penis for sexual dysfunction and pain. We can scan in both erect and relaxed states.

Is ultrasound for erectile dysfunction and peyronies painless and without side effects?

Yes, there are no pain or side effects associated with ultrasound scans for erectile dysfunction and peyronies. The only “side effect” is that you get clarity on your problem. With ultrasound for peyronies and erectile dysfunction, you get a thorough assessment and evaluation of the extent of the problem in a safe and effective way.

What can we see on an ultrasound scan for erectile dysfunction and peyronies at MS Insight?

When you get an ultrasound scan for erectile dysfunction or peyronie’s disease, we will focus on whether there is peyronie’s plaque, degenerative changes and how your blood flow is in the penis. In addition, we do screenings of the heart’s pumping function to see if it could be part of the cause of erectile dysfunction. So MS Insight is your go to place for men’s sexual health and ultrasound scanning in particular. We also do a scan of both bladder and prostate if relevant.

Can I get an ultrasound scan without a referral?

Yes, you can book an appointment directly with MS Insight for ultrasound scans for sexual dysfunctions such as peyronies, erectile dysfunction, incontinence and pudendal nerve problems. No referral is required, but with full co-payment we offer quick clarification and specialized assessment.
