About this test

This comprehensive, targeted profile checks for a range of male hormones, diabetes, cholesterol and PSA - all which need to be analysed in any man with impotence problems so that any physical causes can be excluded.

What can I expect from Erectile Dysfunction Impotence Profile?

This comprehensive profile checks for health indicators which can contribute to erectile dysfunction and male impotence.

It is estimated that 48% of men experience difficulty in getting or maintaining an erection on at least some occasions. While the majority of the time there are psychological causes for this, it is vital to exclude physical causes as these causes may be due to a serious underlying illness - and can often be treated to reduce the effects of impotency.

The main categories of causes are problems with circulation and hormonal.

This profile checks for all the major causes of circulatory problems and checks the relevant hormones.

Testosterone, SHBG and Prolactin hormone levels, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone.

Diabetes can cause circulation problems as well as nerve damage so Glucose and HbA1c levels are included along with a full cholesterol profile.

A Prostate Specific Antigen level checks for indications of possible problems with the prostate which can also result in impotence.
