Erectile dysfunction can be influenced by a range of factors, including hormonal imbalances, cardiovascular health, and blood sugar levels.
While it is often linked to lifestyle factors such as stress, fatigue, or alcohol, ongoing symptoms may indicate underlying health conditions that would benefit from further investigation.
This test provides insight into:
- Hormone levels (including testosterone and prolactin)
- Cardiovascular risk factors (cholesterol levels)
- Blood sugar control (diabetes risk)
- Thyroid function
By assessing these areas together, this test helps identify potential causes and supports informed next steps.
