Vascular Assessment for Erectile Dysfunction

While erectile dysfunction (ED) is typically considered its own condition, according to the National Institutes of Health, it can be an indicator of a more serious issue like cardiovascular disease, diabetes or hypertension. That's why it's crucial that you schedule an ED vascular assessment as soon as possible if you experience it.

At The Y Factor, we understand that ED can also cause anxiety, depression and interpersonal issues. To us, these are as important as physiological concerns, and we want to address them all as quickly as possible.

How We Evaluate Erectile Dysfunction

Your request for an evaluation can be as simple as seeking diagnostic clarity or ruling out more serious conditions. Whatever the cause, your team at The Y Factor will treat your visit with the seriousness and security you deserve. During your consultation, we will develop a full picture of your erectile health through:

  • Collecting clinical history: We want to know when your symptoms started, if you have done anything to address them so far and if you have any risk factors or history that can point us in the right direction for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Hormonal and metabolic testing: Your metabolism and hormone levels play a critical role in every bodily function, including sexual activity. We may order tests to evaluate testosterone and other hormone levels, metabolic markers and other indicators of systemic health to ensure we get a full picture of every factor impacting your ED.
  • Penile vascular imaging: We may also deploy penile duplex testing, which allows us to see a direct visualization of local blood flow and identify vascular responsiveness, arterial sufficiency and potential venous leaks.
