    ED Medical Version Main Episode: Hormone Panel and Vascular Tests
    Jul 13 2026
    In this episode of ED: The Medical Version, we outline a clear, step-by-step medical pathway for addressing persistent symptoms instead of guessing at causes. Finch explains how vascular factors often require basic blood pressure checks and circulation tests at your primary doctor, while hormonal imbalances need targeted blood work including total and free testosterone, estradiol, and a metabolic panel for blood sugar and cholesterol. Learn when to request a urology referral after two visits, how to review medications that may impact flow or hormones, and why tracking energy patterns or morning changes over seven days strengthens your appointments. Prepare questions on family history, set measurable lifestyle targets, and organize notes to avoid duplicate testing or delays.

    Key takeaways:
    - Start with primary care for hormone and vascular labs
    - Review current medications with your doctor immediately
    - Track daily patterns before specialist visits
    - Schedule follow-up calls to confirm next actions
    - Build a single-page summary of dates, labs, and notes

    This sequence delivers clarity within one week.

  • Vascular Hormonal Workup: When Urology Referral Is Needed for ED

    Vascular Hormonal Workup: When Urology Referral Is Needed for ED
    Jul 11 2026
    In this episode of ED: The Medical Version, we map out the practical first steps for evaluating erectile dysfunction through a medical lens. Vascular factors often surface early, so circulation checks and heart health markers take priority alongside standard hormone panels like morning testosterone levels. Primary care physicians typically lead these guideline-driven tests to identify treatable causes before any specialist involvement.

    Listeners learn clear thresholds for urology referral, such as persistent symptoms after initial labs, elevated PSA, or accompanying urinary issues, keeping the process efficient and evidence-based rather than assuming specialist care from the start. Preparation tips include tracking symptom timing and medication lists to align testing with individual health details, while cardiovascular risk scores can integrate seamlessly into the same visit.

    - Begin with primary care history and vascular/hormonal blood work
    - Follow guideline criteria to time urology referrals appropriately
    - Request lab copies and coordinate records to avoid duplicate testing
    - Review cardiovascular scores alongside ED evaluation for comprehensive planning
