Penile Duplex Ultrasound in Houston
High-resolution vascular imaging for accurate erectile dysfunction diagnosis
What It Is
A specialized vascular ultrasound that evaluates arterial inflow and veno-occlusive function (the ability to maintain blood within the penile tissue during erection).
Imaging is performed both at rest and after a small, medically supervised vasodilator injection that temporarily produces an erection for measurement.
Who It’s For
- Men with persistent or unexplained erectile dysfunction
- Treatment-resistant ED where medications haven’t worked
- Pre-procedural planning for shockwave therapy, PRP, or surgery
- Post-operative vascular assessment after injury or prior surgery
How It Works
The study takes about 30–45 minutes.
Ultrasound probes measure cavernosal blood-flow velocity before and after a small injection of a vasoactive medication. Results quantify both arterial inflow (PSV) and venous competence (EDV), helping determine whether the problem is arterial, venous, or mixed.
What to Expect
- In-office procedure, minimal discomfort
- Temporary erection from medication, subsides within an hour
- Immediate imaging results reviewed by your specialist
- A comprehensive vascular report that guides next-step treatment
Why It Matters
Accurate vascular diagnosis ensures that men receive the right therapy the first time—whether it’s medication adjustment, regenerative therapy, or corrective procedure.

I came into get a vasectomy not knowing what to expect. The whole procedure took 15 minutes with little to no pain. Dr talked to me through the whole process to ease my mind from what was going on. Would highly recommend the Y Factor for your place to get your vasectomy.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Y Factor, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the level of care I received, particularly from Nurse Practitioner Ben Martinez. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating an environment that immediately put me at ease. The staff at the front desk especially Zuleika was friendly and efficient, streamlining the check-in process. Ben Martinez, Nurse Practitioner, demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise throughout my visit. He took the time to thoroughly discuss my concerns, patiently answering all my questions and addressing any uncertainties I had. Ben's compassionate and personable approach made me feel comfortable discussing sensitive health matters, fostering open communication.

Why does The Y Factor specialize in men’s health?
The Y Factor was named for the Y-chromosome, the factor that determines male characteristics. Our facilities were created by men, for men, with the expertise of male urological health. Our team believes in finding the underlying source of men’s health problems so they can customize a specific treatment plan to improve current health issues along with one’s overall quality of life.
Why is seeing a urologist so important to men’s health?
Too many men are dying in their 50s and 60s from urological disorders that could have been prevented in their 30s and 40s. Rapid advances and medical discoveries have been occurring in this field but are often concentrated in academic centers. Our specialists bring these advances to communities in which men live and work.
Are the treatments/surgeries at The Y Factor painful?
We take all precautions to ensure you are in as little pain as possible. Many of our patients have reported low pain levels, around 1-2 on a scale of 10.
