This exam is to determine if the blood vessels, nerves, and tissues of your penis are working normally. Other tests are also available to help find the cause of impotence. For example, one test monitors the erections a man has each night while he sleeps. If these erections are no longer occurring, the impotence may be from a physical cause. Other tests can determine if blood to the penis is slow, or if hormonal problems are causing impotence.
