Should ED Diagnosis Be Confirmed By Testing Before Sildenafil Is Appointed?

Question:

I was prescribed Sildenafil because lately I don’t seem to have a good erection. I’d prefer to take some tests before starting the drug therapy, however, my andrologists said to me that the tests are to be taken only if Sildenafil doesn’t work! Thank you in advance. 


Answer:

Dear User, the colleague you had an appointment with cannot be an andrologist … before the therapy, a diagnosis should be made based on a variety of examinations, including tests, especially if the patient insists. I suggest that you seek an appointment with another specialist; try asking your family members of friends for recommending you a reliable doctor. Regards.
