Diagnosis & Test of Erectile dysfunction

There is no confirmed screening test for ED. However, most of the cases the doctor will review your medical history and perform a thorough physical examination. The doctor will interview you about your personal and sexual history or conduct a psychosocial examination. The interview may determine expectations and perceptions encountered during sexual intercourse.

Later the doctor may order laboratory and radiology tests, including:

• Blood & Urine test
• Duplex ultrasound: An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to take “pictures” of the body’s tissues. For people with ED, an ultrasound may be used to evaluate blood flow and check for signs of a venous leak, arthrosclerosis, or tissue scarring.

Treatment

If your ED is caused by an underlying health condition, such as heart disease or diabetes, that condition may need to be treated first before treatment for ED can begin. In some cases, treating the underlying cause may also resolve the problem of ED.

Therapy

The first line of therapy for uncomplicated ED is use of oral medications. For men who cannot or do not wish to use drug therapy, an external vacuum device or even surgical prosthetic placement may be acceptable.
