Erectile dysfunction is usually a symptom of a wider health problem, so it is important to investigate the cause with an experienced doctor.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be caused by diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and hormone imbalance. It can also have psychological causes where therapy might be required.
ED (Erectile Dysfunction) is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, making it crucial to investigate this when more obvious causes are absent. Hormonal conditions, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid and Cushing’s syndrome affecting cortisol production, can also contribute to erectile dysfunction.
There are five main types of conditions that can cause problems resulting in ED: those that disrupt nerve signals, affect hormone levels, impact the physical structure of the penis, hinder blood flow to the penis, and contribute to psychological issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or depression.
Taking certain medications can lead to erectile dysfunction, so it is important to discuss any current medications with one of our doctors during your clinic visit. Certain drugs, such as antidepressants, antihypertensives, and medications for prostate conditions, can potentially affect sexual function.
In addition, excessive alcohol consumption or drug use can also contribute to erectile dysfunction. Alcohol is a depressant that can impair nerve function and decrease arousal, while drugs like cocaine or marijuana can affect blood flow and hormone levels, all of which are crucial for achieving and maintaining an erection.
Erectile dysfunction testing is typically recommended for men who experience persistent difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. We look at:

When preparing for erectile dysfunction testing, it is important to be prepared to discuss your medical history, including any existing conditions or medications you are currently taking. Certain tests may necessitate abstaining from alcohol or caffeine beforehand, and depending on the specific test, fasting may be required for a designated period before your appointment. It is advisable to wear comfortable clothing to facilitate physical examinations or tests.
An erectile dysfunction (ED) test involves various assessments aimed at diagnosing and evaluating difficulties in achieving or maintaining erections adequate for sexual intercourse. These tests typically include a physical examination to identify any physical abnormalities or signs of underlying health conditions. Blood tests may be conducted to check for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or hormonal imbalances that could contribute to ED.
The timeframe for receiving results from an Erectile Dysfunction (ED) test can vary depending on the type of test performed. Some tests, like blood tests checking hormone levels or assessing glucose levels, may yield results within a few days, depending on the laboratory’s workload. In contrast, tests such as penile ultrasound or psychological assessments might provide immediate feedback or require additional time for analysis and interpretation. It’s essential to discuss expectations and timelines with your healthcare provider to better understand when you can expect to receive your results and any subsequent steps for treatment or further evaluation.
