Investigate the Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
The Impotence Profile is a detailed blood test designed to uncover the potential causes behind erectile dysfunction (ED) and related symptoms. By evaluating hormone levels, metabolic function, and cardiovascular health, this test provides a complete picture to help identify contributing factors and guide treatment.
Why Choose This Test?
Identifies hormonal imbalances like low testosterone or elevated prolactin
Evaluates metabolic health including blood glucose and lipid levels
Assesses thyroid and cardiovascular function, both of which can affect sexual performance
Supports early diagnosis and personalised treatment strategies for ED and low libido
Who Is This Test For?
This profile is ideal for individuals experiencing:
Erectile dysfunction (difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection)
Low libido or reduced sexual interest
Fatigue, mood changes, or signs of hormonal imbalance
Concerns about cholesterol, glucose, or cardiovascular health affecting sexual performance
What’s Measured in This Profile?
Hormonal Health
Testosterone – Primary male sex hormone
Free Testosterone (Calculated) – Active, bioavailable testosterone
Free Androgen Index (FAI) – Ratio of active testosterone to SHBG
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) – Regulates testosterone availability
Prolactin (PRL) – Hormone that can impact sexual desire and function
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – Key for overall hormonal balance
Albumin – Affects free testosterone calculation and general health
Metabolic & Cardiovascular Markers
Glucose – For blood sugar and insulin-related health
Cholesterol Profile – Including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and non-HDL
What Can This Test Detect?
Low testosterone or hormonal imbalance
Elevated prolactin that may reduce libido or interfere with erectile function
