Erectile Dysfunction

Description

**Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Evaluation Procedure:** The evaluation of erectile dysfunction typically begins with a comprehensive medical and sexual history. During this initial phase, the healthcare provider will gather information about the patient's symptoms, duration of erectile issues, and any contributing factors such as stress, psychological conditions, or relationship issues. A detailed review of the patient's medical history is also crucial, including any chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or neurological disorders, as these conditions are often linked to ED. The healthcare provider will inquire about lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and exercise habits. Additionally, a review of current medications is necessary to identify any drugs that might cause or exacerbate ED. **Physical Examination and Diagnostic Tests:** Following the history intake, a physical examination is conducted to identify any physiological causes of ED. The physician will evaluate the patient’s cardiovascular and respiratory health, check blood pressure, and examine the genitals to rule out anatomical abnormalities or signs of hormonal imbalances. Blood tests are commonly performed to measure levels of glucose, lipids, and hormones (such as testosterone). Other diagnostic tests such as a penile Doppler ultrasound may be used to assess blood flow and detect vascular issues. In some cases, a nocturnal penile tumescence test, which measures erections during sleep, is recommended to distinguish between physical and psychological causes. Based on the findings, the healthcare provider will determine the underlying cause of ED and suggest appropriate treatment options, which may include lifestyle changes, medications, therapy, or surgical interventions.
