Once you’ve brought up the subject of erection quality, the doctor will probably ask you questions about the frequency and quality of your erections. The doctor may ask what other health conditions you have, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
He or she may ask what medications you take, since certain medications can affect erectile quality. The doctor will want to know if you smoke or drink alcohol since these, too, can affect erectile quality.
The doctor will do a physical examination and may want to do some laboratory tests, such as a blood sugar count or lipid profile (measuring the fats in your blood).
While talking about erectile quality may be uncomfortable, remember that erectile quality is an important part of your overall health, so don’t be embarrassed to approach this subject with your doctor. Learn more about talking to your doctor.
