What can urologists do for ED?

The urologists will diagnose you and find out the cause of ED. They do it by:

• Asking you for your medical history: The urologist will take all your medical records and go through them to find out if any medical conditions from the past are triggering ED. you may also be asked about your sexual activities to establish the issue you are facing. 
• Physical examination: An urologist will perform tests on you to find out any underlying illness that is causing this problem. Factors like blood pressure and heartbeat are linked with ED in many patients. They might have a look at your genitals to examine any irregularity in their appearance and sensitivity to touch. Further, they may test prostate enlargement. 
• Blood and urine tests: Based on necessity if the urologist feels they may ask you to get examined for blood sugar levels, thyroid, cholesterol levels, hormone levels, etc. 
• Injection test: In this process, the urologist injects medicine that makes the penis erect. The injection is pushed at the base of the penis. If it does not show any signs of erection, then there might be a problem with blood flow.
• Penile Doppler ultrasound: In this process too the urologist will inject medicine for erection. After the erection, they will use an ultrasound that will test the flow of blood in and out of the arteries and veins in the penis.

One of these tests will potentially answer the urologist about the factor that triggers the ED and then they will act on the problem by prescribing medication or any other form of treatment.
