The penis is the male sexual organ. It consist of two main parts. Shaft is the longest part of it, the head or glans is at the end of the shaft. The opening at the tip of the head, where urine and semen flow through, is called the meatus.
Your doctor may prescribe blood or urine tests based on your physical assessment as well as your medical and sexual history. These will be used to look for issues that could lead to ED, such as:
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Kidney disease
- Hormonal problems such as low testosterone
Physical exam Expect a physical exam, where your doctor will:
• listen to your heart and lungs
• check your blood pressure
• examine your testicles and penis
Psychosocial history Your doctor will ask you questions or request that you fill out a questionnaire about your symptoms, health history, and sexual history. The responses can help them evaluate the severity of your ED. Some questions that they may ask include:
• How long have you been experiencing ED? Did it come on suddenly or gradually?
• Are you having any problems with feeling sexual desire, ejaculating, or reaching orgasm?
• How often do you have sex? Has this frequency changed recently?
•How firm are your erections? Is this affected by particular situations or types of stimulation?
• Do you wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night with erections?
• How’s your current relationship? What expectations do you and your partner have for each other? Have there been any changes?
• Have you recently been experiencing a lot of stress?
• What medications are you currently taking? Do you use tobacco, alcohol, or nonprescription drugs?
• Do you have any underlying conditions or have you had any surgery on or injury to your pelvic area?
Injection Test
An injection test is also called an intracavernosal test.
Ultrasound
Doppler ultrasound is another way to check blood flow to the penis. It may be used along with the injection test.
Your doctor takes a device that looks like a wand and holds it over your penis. It uses sound waves to create a video of your blood vessels so your doctor can look at blood flow.
