More Details
What is the purpose of this test?
This comprehensive panel identifies underlying hormonal, metabolic, and prostate-related factors contributing to erectile dysfunction by measuring 40 biomarkers across 8 specialized tests. Erectile dysfunction affects 24.2% of American men overall, with rates increasing significantly with age (Journal of Sexual Medicine 2024). The panel enables targeted treatment approaches by evaluating testosterone levels, thyroid function, glucose metabolism, prostate markers, and overall health indicators that may impact sexual function.
Who would benefit from this test?
Men experiencing erectile dysfunction symptoms, those concerned about sexual health decline, and individuals seeking proactive cardiovascular risk assessment would benefit most. Since erectile dysfunction often serves as an early warning sign for cardiovascular disease, this panel provides valuable preventive insights (PMC/NCBI 2004). The test is particularly valuable for men over 40, when ED prevalence increases substantially, and those wanting to avoid potentially uncomfortable initial physician consultations.
When should I order this test?
Consider testing if experiencing consistent erectile difficulties lasting more than 3 months, or as part of preventive screening, particularly for men over 40 when ED prevalence increases significantly. The test is also valuable for monitoring treatment effectiveness or investigating unexplained symptoms like fatigue and mood changes that may relate to hormonal imbalances.
How do I interpret the results?
Results should be reviewed with a healthcare provider who can correlate findings with symptoms and medical history. Here are general reference ranges:
Total Testosterone
- Normal range: Above 300 ng/dL
- What abnormal may indicate: Low levels may require hormone therapy
TSH
- Normal range: 0.4–4.0 mIU/L
- What abnormal may indicate: Thyroid dysfunction affecting metabolism
Hemoglobin A1c
- Normal range: Below 5.7%
- What abnormal may indicate: Diabetes risk or poor glucose control
PSA
- Normal range: Below 4.0 ng/mL
- What abnormal may indicate: Possible prostate issues requiring evaluation
Only 7.7% of men with erectile dysfunction have received professional diagnosis, highlighting the importance of proactive testing.
Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
Pre-test preparation
Maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks before testing to ensure accurate metabolic measurements. Fast for 12-14 hours prior to blood collection, avoiding all food and beverages except water. Discontinue biotin supplements at least 72 hours before testing, as biotin can interfere with several assays. Schedule morning collection when possible, as testosterone levels are typically highest in early morning hours (American Urological Association 2018).
How often should I get tested?
- Initial screening: Baseline, then annually after age 40
- Abnormal results: 3–6 months for monitoring treatment response
- Normal results with symptoms: 6–12 months if symptoms persist
- High cardiovascular risk: Every 6 months for early detection
Why early detection matters
Erectile dysfunction affects 24.2% of American men but only 25% receive treatment, despite global spending exceeding $1 billion annually on ED medications. Men with erectile dysfunction have approximately twice the risk of heart attacks and strokes compared to men without ED, making early detection crucial for both sexual health and cardiovascular disease prevention (SingleCare 2024). Early intervention through lifestyle changes and appropriate treatment can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
