Erectile Dysfunction Test: Insights into Men’s Health
The Erectile Dysfunction Test by GetTested is a comprehensive health test specially designed to provide valuable insights into factors that may contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. This test measures five essential markers: Testosterone, TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone), Total PSA, Free PSA, and Calculated Ratio.
Understanding the Measured Markers
Testosterone: Testosterone is a vital male hormone produced primarily in the testicles. It plays a crucial role in various aspects of men’s health, including sexual function, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and energy levels. Low levels of testosterone can contribute to erectile dysfunction and may also be associated with other health concerns. Monitoring testosterone levels can help assess hormonal balance and overall well-being.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the thyroid gland’s activity. Proper thyroid function is essential for overall health, including sexual function. Imbalances in TSH levels can affect metabolism, energy levels, and libido, potentially contributing to erectile dysfunction. Evaluating TSH levels helps assess thyroid health and its potential impact on sexual wellness.
Prolactin: Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, primarily known for its role in lactation in females. However, in males, elevated levels of prolactin can interfere with the production of testosterone, leading to a variety of health concerns, including erectile dysfunction. High prolactin levels in men can stem from various causes, including certain medications, pituitary tumors, or other underlying health issues. Monitoring prolactin levels in relation to erectile dysfunction can offer insights into hormonal imbalances and guide appropriate interventions.
Total PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen): Total PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. While it is commonly used as a marker for prostate health, it can also provide valuable insights into men’s sexual health. Elevated Total PSA levels may be associated with prostate issues that could affect erectile function. Monitoring Total PSA levels is crucial for prostate health assessment.
Free PSA: Free PSA is a form of PSA that circulates freely in the bloodstream. It is not bound to other proteins and can offer additional information about prostate health. Evaluating Free PSA levels, along with Total PSA, can aid in distinguishing between benign prostate conditions and potential prostate cancer risks.
Calculated Ratio:
The Calculated Ratio is obtained by comparing the levels of Free PSA to Total PSA. This ratio provides valuable information about the probability of prostate cancer. A lower Calculated Ratio may raise concern for prostate cancer, while a higher ratio may indicate a lower likelihood.

Please note that the Erectile Dysfunction Test is not a definitive diagnosis for ED or other medical conditions. If you have specific health concerns or require medical advice, consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
Before you start, you need to register your test. Your test kit contains a sticker with your unique test ID. Register your test ID at 
Wash your hands in hot water for about a minute. This will increase blood circulation in your fingers. Dry your hands. Doing a blood test without stimulating blood circulation might prove difficult, so please do not skip this step.
Disinfect your “test finger” with the supplied disinfectant paper. Wait a few seconds until the finger is completely dry.
Rotate the protective cover on the blood lancet to remove it. Use the extra lancet if you need to do another finger prick.
Place your hand on a flat surface. Put the lancet diagonally toward the test finger and press down the button. Make sure the lancet is pressed against the finger the whole time.
We recommend that you stand up at this stage to let the blood in your arm flow downward. Help the blood drops come out by massaging the finger toward the needle stick.
Transfer the blood drops into the test tube until the blood reaches the marked line. If it doesn’t reach the marked line, there won’t be enough blood for the lab to test. Please contact us if you have any trouble.
Place the sticker with your unique test ID on the test tube. Place the test tube inside the transport tube and seal.
Put the tubes in the enclosed envelope and send it to the lab the same day, preferably a Monday or Tuesday.
