Pre-proceduralConsiderations
Familiarize yourself with the device prior to starting the procedure (Figs. 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3). The patient should be supine on the examination table in a calm and relaxed state. The patient should be undressed from the waist down with a sheet covering their lower body prior to starting. The examiner should check finger and penile positions to be examined (Fig. 2.4). A standardized report should be ready to document findings (a sample report is shown in Fig. 2.5).
