I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past 4 years and I'm not sure what to do next. What tests should I get to figure out the cause? Also, I'm confused about treatment options would allopathic medicine, ayurvedic therapy, or surgery work better for my situation?

For erectile dysfunction, tests like testosterone levels, penile Doppler, and blood sugar are helpful. Allopathic treatments like PDE5 inhibitors are most effective; Ayurveda may support, but surgery is rare and used only in severe cases.
