What tests are needed to diagnose erectile dysfunction?

Patient's question:

Recently experiencing premature ejaculation and excessive sexual activity. The penis is not erect. Is it possible that I have erectile dysfunction? Please ask what check-up items are needed for a definitive diagnosis of 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 suspected cases of venous fistula.
It is recommended that you go to a formal hospital for examination.
