A member asked:

What could be the possible cause of erectile dysfunction from the lab results i have sent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some ideas: I don't have your labs but here's some things worth remembering. The male hormone levels are usually not the key. Real erectile dysfunction is of course when your favorite images / thoughts don't get you a good erection for your age. Prolactinoma and hemochromatosis are two common causes that are often missed and they are the ones that labs will pick up. I hope you find an explanation. Best wishes
