About This Screening
Erectile Dysfunction Blood Screening
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects a significant proportion of men, with prevalence increasing with age — studies suggest it affects approximately 40% of men aged 40 and over 70% of men aged 70. While ED is frequently perceived as a standalone condition, it is often a symptom of underlying systemic disease. In particular, erectile dysfunction may be an early clinical manifestation of cardiovascular disease, as the penile arteries are smaller than coronary arteries and may be affected by atherosclerosis before cardiac symptoms develop.
This comprehensive panel investigates the most common organic causes of erectile dysfunction through assessment of diabetes markers (fasting glucose and HbA1c), cardiovascular risk factors (full lipid profile), thyroid function (TSH and Free T4), hormonal status (total and free testosterone, SHBG, Free Androgen Index, prolactin), and prostate health (PSA).
Key Highlights
- Screen for diabetes and prediabetes (major contributor to ED)
- Assess cardiovascular risk and lipid profile
- Evaluate testosterone and hormonal status
- Screen for thyroid dysfunction
- Include PSA for prostate health assessment
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of erectile dysfunction, with up to 75% of diabetic men experiencing ED due to progressive vascular and neurological damage. Early identification of diabetes or prediabetes enables intervention that may prevent this complication. The lipid profile assesses cardiovascular risk factors that contribute to both erectile dysfunction and broader cardiovascular disease.
Testosterone deficiency can reduce libido and contribute to erectile dysfunction, though it is important to note that testosterone is only one factor among several. The comprehensive hormonal assessment in this panel helps identify whether hormonal imbalance is contributing to symptoms. Thyroid dysfunction, though less commonly considered, can also affect sexual function and is readily identifiable through TSH and Free T4 measurement.
This screening is conducted at our City of London clinic in a confidential and discreet clinical setting. All results are strictly confidential. The blood sample is collected by our registered nurse and processed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.

Erectile Dysfunction Assessment
Erectile dysfunction affects a significant proportion of men over 40. It is frequently symptomatic of underlying systemic conditions that benefit from intervention. This panel screens for diabetes, cardiovascular risk factors, hormonal imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, and prostatic disease—the most common organic causes of erectile dysfunction.
Screen for diabetes and prediabetes (major contributor to ED)
Assess cardiovascular risk and lipid profile
Evaluate testosterone and hormonal status
Screen for thyroid dysfunction
Include PSA for prostate health assessment
Results inform appropriate management approach
Who Should Take This Test?
Men with Erectile Difficulties
Difficulty achieving or maintaining erections warrants investigation for treatable underlying causes.
Men Over 40
Erectile dysfunction prevalence increases with age. Screening can identify risk factors before symptomatic presentation.
Established Risk Factors
Obesity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease increase erectile dysfunction risk.
Prior to Pharmacotherapy
Identifying underlying causes ensures appropriate treatment selection rather than symptomatic management alone.
How to Prepare
Follow these steps before your appointment for the most accurate results.
Fast for 8–12 hours before your appointment for accurate glucose and lipid measurement.
Schedule a morning appointment before 10:00 where possible, as testosterone levels peak in the early morning.
Avoid ejaculation for 48 hours before testing if PSA is to be measured.
Continue taking prescribed medications unless otherwise directed by your prescribing clinician.
All consultations and results are handled with strict confidentiality.
