How is erectile dysfunction diagnosed?

Diagnosing ED usually starts with a conversation. Your doctor will ask about your medical history, lifestyle, and how often the problem occurs. They may also do a physical exam to check blood pressure, heart health, and signs of hormone imbalance. Blood tests might be done to check for diabetes, cholesterol levels, and testosterone. Sometimes, psychological screening is recommended. Based on the findings, your doctor will suggest treatment options, which could include lifestyle changes, medication, therapy, or a combination. The process is straightforward, and early diagnosis often leads to better outcomes.
