Tests For Erection Problems

Tests for erection problems can help find a cause for a man's problem in having or maintaining an erection. Most erection problems are caused by a combination of blood vessel, nerve, or psychological issues.

To find the cause, your doctor will first ask about your sexual history and do a physical exam. During the physical exam, the doctor will:

- Check your penis and testicles for any problems.

- Order blood tests to check testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, and thyroid hormone levels.

- Check your blood pressure.

If the results of your exam and other tests are normal, your doctor may have you try a medicine, such as sildenafil citrate (Viagra), tadalafil ( Cialis), or vardenafil ( Levitra), before doing more tests.

You may also want to ask your doctor if you can try an all natural supplement such as ErectionRx.
