Should I get my testosterone checked for erectile dysfunction?

Yes, get your testosterone checked if you have erectile dysfunction, as UK guidelines recommend measuring it in men presenting with this symptom. Ask your GP for an early morning blood test, ideally between 7am and 11am, repeated on at least two occasions to confirm levels. Low testosterone may contribute to erectile dysfunction and checking it helps identify if replacement therapy is appropriate.

Key points:

• Erectile dysfunction can link to low testosterone in men.
• UK guidelines advise testosterone testing for all men with erectile dysfunction.
• Testing involves early morning blood samples repeated for accuracy.
• Causes of erectile dysfunction include physical, psychological, and medication-related factors.
