    Men's erectile dysfunction is a very broad term. It actually includes many types of diseases, such as premature ejaculation, impotence, loss of sexual desire, and abnormal ejaculation of male friends. Because there are many reasons, the actual inspection items are very complicated. The following is just a brief introduction to what men should check for erectile dysfunction.

    1. General inspection methods.

    When a male friend has erectile dysfunction and has no other specific symptoms, he can first go to the hospital for a general examination. This type of examination mainly includes a routine urine examination to determine whether there is a urinary tract infection. He can also do a blood sugar test to determine whether he has diabetes, because diabetes can cause male dysfunction. Or do kidney and renal function tests to see if erectile dysfunction is caused by these organ diseases. In addition, semen testing can also be carried out to determine whether the soy lecithin content in semen is normal, and thus directly determine whether premature ejaculation is caused by prostate disease.

    2. Examination at the diagnostic imaging level.

    Erectile dysfunction may be caused by diseases of the central nervous system. Because men's sexual life is controlled by the new central nervous system, imaging diagnostic tests can be carried out to find out whether the central nervous system is normal. Common imaging diagnostic examination methods mainly include CT examination, ultrasound examination, MRI examination, etc.

    3. Some unique inspection methods.

    Abnormalities in male genital blood drive may cause erectile dysfunction, so patients can undergo male genital hemodynamic testing. If there is abnormal erectile function, a genital erectile system test can be carried out. If erectile dysfunction is caused by hormone metabolism, estrogen measurements can be carried out.

    The above is a detailed introduction to what men should check for erectile dysfunction. There are many practical examination items for men's erectile dysfunction. Different causes of erectile dysfunction may require different examination methods. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and the doctor will determine the possible cause and then choose the correct weight loss method. This can avoid unnecessary examination costs and at the same time improve the efficiency and accuracy of examination.
