- Diagnosis
Screening and Testing
Blood tests may be carried out to check on the level of male hormones in the blood and to check for other medical problems that cause erectile dysfunction. Other tests that may be performed include:-

This helps determine if the blood circulation to the genitals is sufficient for an erection.
Neurological tests
A physical examination is performed to check if there is any nerve damage.
Blood pressure tests
A dye is injected in the blood vessels so that your doctor could determine if there are any abonormalities in the flow of blood through the penis.
