What tests are needed to confirm erectile dysfunction

Patient's question:

Recently, because the company has been very busy and I am eager to have a child, I have been extremely tense emotionally. Suddenly, I realized that I seem to be lacking energy during sexual activity, sometimes I can't even get an erection. I am really suffering from this issue. Please ask: What tests are needed to diagnose erectile dysfunction?

Doctor's answer:

Please check for premature ejaculation by carefully examining the following points:
1. Detailed laboratory tests: Blood and urine tests, fasting blood glucose, high-density and low-density lipoprotein, and liver and kidney function tests.
2. Hormone measurements: Including serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prolactin. If there is suspicion of testosterone excretion issues, testosterone levels should be measured twice.
3. Chromosome examination.
4. Contrast imaging: Penile cavernous contrast imaging is suitable for cases where a venous fistula is suspected.
It is recommended that you go to a formal hospital for the examination.
