Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is a condition where men experience ongoing difficulty getting or keeping an erection that is firm enough for sexual activity. ED is common and becomes more common with age, but it is not considered a normal part of aging. It is estimated to impact between 30-50 million men in the United States and is often an early warning sign that there is a health problem that needs attention. In many men, ED is associated with underlying health conditions such as diabetes, heart or blood vessel (vascular) disease, kidney or liver disease, or hormone imbalance, as well as psychological factors such as stress and anxiety. Once identified, these factors can often be treated, improving ED symptoms.
This panel measures blood and urine markers related to several of these underlying conditions that have been linked to ED–including cardiometabolic health, kidney and liver function, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and key reproductive and thyroid hormones. Many of these markers are impacted by modifiable factors that can be managed through diet, medication, or lifestyle changes. Measuring the levels of these hormones and health markers can give insights to patients and support a more informed conversation with their healthcare provider about why they may be experiencing erectile dysfunction, and next steps.
This test does not diagnose erectile dysfunction or definitively identify the cause of ED, but assesses markers that have been known to contribute to associated conditions that can cause erectile dysfunction when levels are abnormal.
No doctor’s visit needed.
This ED blood test measures levels of hormones (testosterone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH)) and health markers (complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), cholesterol/lipid panel, and hemoglobin A1c). These markers do not measure erectile function directly, but help identify health conditions known to contribute to ED. A urinalysis is also included.
