Brief Answer:
There is need for penile doppler study

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me with all required detail in precise manner.

With available information about your illness, medications and recent blood investigation reports I am of the opinion that the possibility of organic erectile dysfunction is much more than psychological.

However for confirmation I will request you to undergo penile doppler study from any nearby radiodiagnosis center. In this procedure they will inject a XXXXXXX in your veins and will try to find whether there is any leakage (cause of poor erection). I must acknowledge that very few centers have this facility but considering your location in one of the greatest Metro city of XXXXXXX will not be difficult for you to find one.

Once this is done please revert back to me with available reports.
Meantime continue your medication and do not forget to mention dosage of various medication which are prescribed to you.
Thanks and regards.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for follow up.

Penile doppler study is as painful as a simple injection. Few of the patients report priapism after procedure otherwise it is safe. The priapism can be controlled with application of cold teperature such as ice for some duration on most instances.

I hope this assists you further.
Thanks and regards.
