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.

It kind of feels like something's trying to push its way out, and there's this sensation of stretching inside. I went to a urologist, but he suggested I see a neurologist instead. What could be going on with me?

I drink plenty of water and watch my diet but still keep getting kidney stones - this is my third surgery to remove them why do they keep forming even when I'm careful what causes these stones to develop repeatedly
Even with good hydration and dietary choices, recurring kidney stones can be due to various factors including underlying medical conditions, genetic predisposition, or certain medications. Your doctor may need to investigate further to determine the specific cause of your recurring stones and tailor a prevention plan.

I've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?
