How does my doctor diagnose erection problems?
If you have problems getting or keeping an erection, your doctor will try to find out what's causing your problems. Your doctor will probably ask you some questions about your erection problems. And you may need one or more tests.
Your doctor may ask the following questions.
|
1
|
Do you have erections at night or when you wake up? If you do, then you're physically able to have erections. So it may be that your erection problems happen because of your thoughts or feelings. Your doctor may ask if you have problems in your relationship or if anything's changed in your life.
|
|
2
|
Did you start having problems suddenly? If so, then something stressful may have happened to you. Or the problem may have started after you had an operation or an injury to your groin. If your erection problems are caused by another condition, such as diabetes or atherosclerosis, they usually happen more gradually.
|
|

|
Do you take any tablets? How much alcohol do you drink? Both can cause erection problems.

Tests your doctor may perform.
Your doctor may check your blood pressure because high blood pressure can be linked to heart disease. Your doctor may also look at your penis and testes.
Your doctor may take some blood to check the levels of substances in your blood.
Hormones: If you have too much or too little of certain hormones, this can cause erection problems.

Cholesterol: If you have too much cholesterol in your blood, your blood vessels can become blocked. This can also cause erection problems.

Seeing a specialist regarding your erectile dysfunction or impotency problems
Your doctor may say that you need to see a specialist. This is more likely to happen if you are young and have always had erection problems or if you have had an injury to your penis or pelvis. A specialist may do some other tests to see if there's a problem with the blood flow into and out of your penis.
Colour duplex Doppler ultrasound : This is the most common type of test used to see if you have a problem with the blood flow into and out of your penis. The doctor injects medicine into your penis to dilate the arteries, so blood can flow in. Then your doctor, or a technician, will use an ultrasound machine. This uses sound waves to make pictures. It sees if the blood is flowing freely through the arteries in your penis.
Cavernosometry : This is a very specialised test that is usually done only if your doctor thinks you might need an operation on the blood vessels going to your penis. Cavernosometry tests if your veins are closing tightly enough to keep blood in your penis. Your doctor may inject fluid into your penis. If your veins are working right and not leaking, the fluid will keep your penis firm during the test.
Arteriogram : Your doctor may recommend that you have a test called an arteriogram. It helps your doctor get a good idea of how well blood flows in your penis. This test isn't commonly used. You're likely to have an arteriogram only if you're young. Your doctor would be seeing if you've had an injury in the area around your penis. It helps your doctor decide whether you need surgery to correct your arteries.

Erection-Inducing Drugs - Medical Treatments For Erectile Dysfunction
Drugs which induce and strengthen erections can successfully treat Erectile Dysfunction and problems achieving and maintaining a strong erection. Erection inducing and erectile dysfunction drugs work for the majority of men who want stronger erections and can also help men with neurological and spinal problems.
Cialis : Works in the same way as Viagra, and is popular because the erection inducement effects last so long - often more than 12 hours. The Cialis erections are not blocked by food in the stomach.
Levitra : Works in same way as Viagra. Side-effects and interactions of Levitra are similar to those of Viagra. Levitra erections are not as long-lasting as Cialis.
Viagra : Widens the bloods vessels, so giving an erection provided the penis is rubbed. Viagra usually works within an hour. Effect lasts for about four hours. Easily blocked by food in the stomach. Commonest side-effects of Viagra are headache, visual disturbances, blocked nose, flushed face, indigestion, palpitations – and dizziness after getting out of bed too quickly! Blue vision occurs at higher doses. Viagra is very dangerous with certain heart drugs. Interacts with many medications. Do not drink grapefruit juice on day of use.
