What to Expect from an Exam

After a complete urological workup — which may take several visits, depending on the number and nature of tests done — you should have a better understanding of the possible role of medical factors in your difficulty. More specifically:

• Whether there may be physical reasons for your erection problem.
• The nature of the physical reasons and perhaps of their extent. If, for instance, there’s a blood flow problem, is it severe, moderate, or slight?
• The medical options for resolving the physical difficulty and the costs and pros and cons of each.

It’s a good idea to get copies of your test results from your doctor as well as a summary of your situation. These can then be shown to any other doctors or therapists you consult. When clients of mine have been to urologists, I always ask for a report, and it’s surprising to me how many of them can’t remember what the doctor said, what tests were done, or even the doctor’s name. Getting a written summary from the doctor as well as copies of the test results will save time when you talk to another expert.

Perhaps the best conclusion you could get is negative — that is, that thorough examination has revealed no physical reason for your problem. Then you are free to consider sex therapy with a therapist or by doing the exercises in the next article.
