Conclusion

In this review, we described the various types of SRE measurements, the quantitative parameters that they use for evaluating erectile quality and ED treatment effects, their utility in the etiologic diagnosis, differential diagnosis and forensic assessment of ED, and the disadvantages associated with each. Further, we put forward our conception on future development of SRE monitoring. In our opinion, the ideal SRE test would be: (1) accurate and comprehensive; (2) simple, wearable, convenient, and less sleep interference; (3) inexpensive. However, none of the apparatuses reviewed satisfies these requirements at present, suggesting a brand new SRE measurement modality is needed.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
