Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctors, please check my lipid profile test report. Is it something very serious? If yes, can I take steps to reduce the possible consequences?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My recent test results show: triglycerides 350, uric acid 9.6, SGPT 93, and SGOT 65. Can these conditions contribute to erectile dysfunction? For context, I consume alcohol about 5 times a week and smoke 2 to 3 cigarettes per day.
