How do you diagnose erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's mostly based on history of symptoms such as trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection and reduced sexual desire. Tests are done to know the presence of any organic causes.

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've been feeling really self-conscious about my penis size, which is about 3 inches. I had an experience with my girlfriend where she wasn't satisfied, and it's been making me feel really guilty and embarrassed. I've heard about treatments for penis enlargement, specifically with Unani Medicines, but I'm not sure where to start. Should I be seeing a urologist or a sexologist to discuss this? I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to approach the situation.
