Diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction
In one sense, it isn't necessary to diagnose erectile dysfunction at all. As a symptom of an underlying condition, it presents itself with tragic obviousness. As such, it's the underlying cause that is diagnosed, not ED. In other circumstances, it often is unnecessary to diagnose the fundamental cause of the impotence, since most treatments will be the same in any case.

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction
It's somewhat misleading to talk of the symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED), since the condition itself is really a symptom.

Male Infertility and Sperm Count
It has always been the biggest misconception that infertility is solely a female's concern. Truth of the matter is, it is not. In fact, it could be solely a man's problem or a contributing cause in at least forty percent of infertile couples. Couples who have been trying their first pregnancy for at least twelve months without favorable result could already be considered to be having fertility issue. However, they don't necessarily need to wait as long as twelve months to seek medical help if they suspect that there is something wrong, especially if they have been attempting to conceive for months of having unprotected intercourse. Putting the blame on one partner could only cause much pain if both are eager to have a baby. So, to spare each emotional and psychological pain, it is best to understand that there is no other way but to accept that there could be something wrong inside both the couples' systems. Acceptance is always the first step to treating whatever problem one has.
