MyHealthChecked blood sample test kit for erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get or maintain an erection. The likelihood of experiencing this increases as we get older, but it can affect men of all ages.
There are many possible causes, including both physical and psychological. In some cases, it may be a sign of an underlying health condition including diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or low testosterone levels. If you are experiencing symptoms, it is important to find out if there may be a physical cause that needs to be treated.
By reviewing the levels of key biomarkers with this test, our medical experts will be able to give you a better insight into whether other underlying health problems may be contributing to your erectile dysfunction.
Taking this test could be your first step towards taking control not only of your symptoms but of your general health.
