ED has many explanations. We help you identify exactly what's going on โ so you can do something about it.
Performance anxiety, ongoing stress, or low mood can directly affect arousal, confidence, and physical response.
Could this be you?Poor sleep, alcohol intake, diet, lack of exercise or carrying excess weight can all quietly undermine sexual function.
Could this be you?Low or elevated testosterone, oestrogen imbalance, or thyroid dysfunction can each significantly impact sexual function.
Could this be you?Circulation issues, high blood pressure, or cholesterol buildup are common hidden drivers โ and often treatable once identified.
Could this be you?Your testosterone may test normal. ED is complex โ causes don't always appear on a standard test. We look deeper.
Could this be you?Not sure which scenario fits? The assessment covers all of them.

Root Cause Analysis โ Erectile Dysfunction Assessment
Patient Reference: J. Harris / MCR-2024-0847
Dear Mr Harris,
Thank you for completing the Medimob ED assessment. I have reviewed your full blood panel of 48 biomarkers alongside your clinical questionnaire in detail. What follows is my analysis of the most likely causes of your erectile dysfunction, an interpretation of your key results, and my recommendations for next steps.
I want to begin by noting something important: your results tell me that your ED is not simply a sexual health issue. The pattern I am seeing across your cardiovascular markers, your hormonal profile, and your metabolic indicators suggests that your body has been trying to communicate something for some time. Erectile dysfunction is frequently the first visible signal of underlying vascular and metabolic stress โ and in your case, that appears to be exactly what is happening. This is actually good news: these are conditions that, when identified and addressed at this stage, are entirely manageable.
Most likely causes
Recommended next steps
Yours sincerely,
Dr. A. MahmoodMBBS MRCGP โ General Practitioner (GMC: 7482931)

Sample report โ illustrative purposes only. All names, GMC numbers and patient details are fictional. Your actual report is written by a real independently registered UK GP based on your specific results.
PERSONALISED RECOMMENDATIONS โ Based on your GP's analysis
Lifestyle
Reduce refined carbohydrates and increase omega-3 intake. 150 minutes moderate aerobic exercise per week has direct evidence for both erectile function and testosterone levels.
Clinical
Discuss statin therapy with your NHS GP. Your cholesterol level is a primary vascular driver of your ED โ treating it is not separate from treating your ED.
Clinical
Repeat free testosterone before 9am, fasted, in 4โ6 weeks. If confirmed low, discuss with endocrinologist. Do not begin TRT without this confirmation.
Consider
As a bridging measure while vascular root causes are addressed. Evidence supports endothelial benefit alongside lifestyle intervention.
Monitor
Dietary changes alone are likely to resolve this, but a retest will confirm. Catching this now prevents progression to pre-diabetes.
Optional
If performance anxiety persists once physical causes are being managed, a short course with a BACP-registered therapist is evidence-based and highly effective.
Recommendations are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute a diagnosis or prescription. Please discuss any proposed medication with your NHS GP before proceeding.
Most tests check one thing. We check everything. Because erectile dysfunction is rarely caused by one thing โ and the actual driver is often hiding in a marker nobody thought to look at.
Erectile dysfunction is not just a sexual health problem. It is frequently the earliest visible symptom of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, or a hormonal imbalance โ conditions that are entirely manageable when caught early.
Men who investigate the cause rather than suppress the symptom often discover something far more important than they expected. This is why we test what we test.
48 biomarkers shown
Blood results give us numbers. The questionnaire gives those numbers context. Our clinically designed assessment covers six domains โ because the cause of your ED is rarely just physical.
When symptoms began, how frequently ED occurs, whether morning erections are present, pain, ejaculatory function, and libido. This timeline helps distinguish physical from psychological causes.
Performance anxiety, depression, chronic stress, relationship dynamics, body image, and past trauma. These factors account for a significant proportion of ED โ and are entirely invisible on a blood test.
Exercise frequency, diet quality, alcohol consumption, smoking, recreational drug use, sleep duration and quality. Lifestyle factors are among the most modifiable โ and most underinvestigated โ causes of ED.
Diagnosed conditions including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, neurological conditions, previous pelvic surgery, and any relevant family history. These directly inform the GP's root cause analysis.
Prescription and over-the-counter medications, including antidepressants (SSRIs), antihypertensives, beta-blockers, finasteride, and others with known links to sexual dysfunction. Medication-induced ED is frequently missed.
Blood pressure readings, waist circumference, known cholesterol history, and indicators of metabolic syndrome. ED is a recognised early marker of cardiovascular disease โ this domain helps us quantify that risk.
How your data is used: Your questionnaire responses and blood results are reviewed solely by your allocated GP for the purpose of producing your Root Cause Report. Your information is never shared with third parties or used for marketing purposes. Medimob is the platform facilitating your assessment; your blood analysis is performed by a UKAS-accredited independent laboratory, and your report is written by an independently registered UK GP. Full GDPR compliance data security apply throughout.
Your at-home kit is dispatched in plain packaging. Begin the clinical questionnaire online โ takes around 20 minutes and covers all six assessment domains.
Follow the simple instructions in your kit. Return using the pre-paid envelope. Your sample is processed at a UKAS-accredited UK laboratory, using the same standard as NHS labs.
A registered UK GP reviews your complete blood results alongside your questionnaire responses. They analyse all 48 biomarkers in clinical context โ not in isolation โ to identify what is actually driving your ED.
Your secure Root Cause Report arrives within 5โ7 working days. A doctor-written document that identifies causes, interprets every abnormal marker, and sets out your options โ clearly, without pressure.
Your report is not generated by an algorithm or a template. A UK-registered GP personally reviews your results, considers the full clinical picture, and writes a report that reflects your specific findings. The laboratory processing your blood is independently accredited. The GP writing your report is independently registered. Medimob is the platform that brings it all together โ privately, securely, and on your terms.
Most ED services give you one thing. We give you four โ combined into a single, coordinated investigation that arrives as a clear clinical answer within 48 hours.
Start with our validated IIEF-5 questionnaire. Immediate severity score. No commitment, no payment. Just clarity on whether a full assessment makes sense for you.
A comprehensive assessment covering hormonal, psychological, sleep, relationship and sexual history. Everything a GP appointment rarely has time to cover.
A qualified phlebotomist comes to you, anywhere in the UK. 20+ markers tested from a single morning fasting draw โ hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory.
A structured clinical opinion from a GMC-registered doctor. Your results explained in plain English. Your clinical profile. Most likely primary cause identified. Specific next steps recommended. Optional 20-minute follow-up call available.
Primary cause breakdown across diagnosed cases. Most men have more than one contributing factor.
Of men whose total testosterone is "normal", a significant proportion have other contributing factors never identified.
Younger men are far more likely to have psychological causes. Physical causes dominate after 45. Most men have both.
Start free. No subscription. No prescription. Just a clear, clinical picture of what's actually happening โ and a path to resolving it.
There are dozens of online services that will send you ED medication within 24 hours. That's not what we do. If you've already tried a pill and it didn't fix things โ or you want to understand what's actually happening before you treat it โ this is for you.

How most services work
Standard approach
|
Medimob approach
The full picture
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Assessment |
3-minute online questionnaire
A handful of tick-box questions about general health. No sleep assessment. No relationship history. No psychological screening. Enough to prescribe โ not enough to diagnose.
|
Deep-dive clinical questionnaire
A comprehensive assessment covering your full hormonal, psychological, sleep, relationship and sexual history. Clinically structured. Designed to surface the causes most services never ask about.
|
| Blood Testing |
Finger-prick kit posted to you
A self-collection lancet kit. If the blood doesn't flow โ or fills the wrong amount โ the sample is rejected. Users regularly report failed tests and wasted money with nothing to show for it.
|
Venous draw by a qualified nurse โ at home
A trained phlebotomist comes to you, anywhere in the UK. Venous blood is clinically superior to finger-prick for hormonal and metabolic markers. Accurate. No failed samples. No faff.
|
| What's tested |
Testosterone only โ or nothing at all
Most services test total testosterone at best. Free testosterone, SHBG, prolactin, thyroid, blood sugar, cholesterol, liver function โ the markers that together explain why medication isn't working โ are not included.
|
20+ markers. The complete hormonal and metabolic picture
Total and free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, thyroid, HbA1c, lipid panel, liver function, inflammatory markers and more. Taken fasting, in the morning โ when accuracy matters most.
|
| The Report |
A page of numbers. Normal or abnormal.
Reference ranges, green ticks, the occasional flag. No explanation of what your results mean together. No most-likely cause identified. No recommended next steps. You're left to interpret it alone.
|
A GP-authored report. Plain English. 48 hours.
A structured clinical opinion written by a GMC-registered doctor. Your results explained. Your clinical profile. Most likely primary cause identified. Specific next steps recommended. No guesswork.
|
| The Outcome |
A prescription. Usually sildenafil.
Fast, convenient, and often effective short-term. But if Viagra isn't working โ or you want to know why you need it โ the service has nothing left to offer you. Treatment is the product. Investigation isn't.
|
An answer. And a clear path forward.
We don't prescribe. We investigate. You leave knowing the most likely cause of your ED and exactly who to see next โ whether that's a GP, an endocrinologist, a psychosexual therapist, or a urologist.

These are experiences men describe when they come to us after trying other services. Not individual cases โ recurring themes.
I tried the self-collection kit. Couldn't get enough blood from my finger. The sample was rejected. I paid for nothing and still had no answers.
My results came back and everything was flagged as normal. No explanation of what that meant for me specifically. No next step. Just a green tick on a page of numbers.
I filled in a short form online and had a prescription within the hour. It was easy โ but I never felt like anyone had actually looked at my situation.
The medication worked for a while. Then it stopped. When I went back, the only answer was to try a higher dose. No one looked at why it had stopped working.
They only tested testosterone. Nobody asked about my sleep, my stress, my relationship. The things that were actually relevant to what I was going through.
Three years. Three repeat prescriptions. Not once did anyone ask whether we'd actually found the cause โ or whether there was something that could be done about it properly.
We built Medimob for the men who have already been through the standard route and still don't have a real answer. A pill is a treatment. A treatment without a diagnosis is a guess. You deserve better than a guess.
ED affects men differently at every stage. Whether you've just noticed something isn't right, or you've been dealing with it for years โ there's a reason. And there's a path to finding it.
It happened once, then again. You're not sure if it's stress, age, or something else. You haven't spoken to anyone yet โ and you're not ready to guess.
Viagra or Cialis helps, but you're tired of planning around a pill. You want to understand the actual cause so you can address it, not just mask it.
You were prescribed something, tried it, and it either didn't work or stopped working. You've been told everything is "fine" โ but it clearly isn't.
You're fit, you're healthy โ at least on paper. But something isn't right in the bedroom and you have no idea where to even start. You're not alone: it's the fastest-growing group seeking answers.
The avoidance, the apologising, the silence that follows. What started as a physical issue is becoming an emotional one. You want your relationship back โ and that starts with getting an actual answer.
You've read the forums, the Reddit threads, the NHS pages. You know the possibilities. What you don't have is someone looking at your specific numbers and telling you what's actually going on.
Wherever you are in this journey โ you deserve a real answer, not just a prescription.
Start My AssessmentIf you're wondering whether Medimob is right for you, start here. These are the questions men actually ask before they take the first step.
Most online ED services โ Numan, Manual, BlueChew, Roman โ operate on a prescription-first model: complete a short questionnaire, receive sildenafil or tadalafil within days. Manual focuses almost entirely on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if your testosterone is low. Both approaches treat a symptom or a single marker. Neither investigates why you have ED.
Medimob combines an advanced blood panel, a clinically designed questionnaire, and a GP-written Root Cause Report โ a personalised medical document that identifies what is actually driving your ED, not just what can mask it.
Three things, working together. First, an advanced blood test panel โ going far beyond testosterone to cover hormones, cardiovascular markers, thyroid function, metabolic health, and inflammation. Second, a thorough clinical questionnaire covering your symptoms, psychology, lifestyle, sleep, medications, and relationship context. Third, a GP-written Root Cause Report โ a personalised medical document that synthesises everything, identifies the likely drivers of your ED, and outlines your options clearly.
No algorithm. No automated printout. A real UK-registered doctor reads your results and writes a report specifically about you.
Testosterone is one marker โ and many men with ED have completely normal testosterone levels. ED is frequently linked to cardiovascular and metabolic health: high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, early-stage type 2 diabetes, and poor circulation are among the most common hidden causes. Thyroid dysfunction, elevated oestradiol, low SHBG, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance can all impair erectile function without touching your testosterone number. Testing testosterone alone gives an incomplete โ and often misleading โ picture.
This is one of the most common frustrations men experience. A 'normal' testosterone reading does not rule out hormonal causes โ free testosterone, SHBG levels, oestradiol, and the ratios between them can all affect sexual function even when total testosterone appears normal. Beyond hormones, ED is frequently driven by subclinical cardiovascular disease, early metabolic dysfunction, thyroid issues, sleep apnoea, psychological factors, or medication side effects. None of these show up in a basic testosterone test.
Our assessment is specifically designed to investigate beyond the obvious โ because the obvious answer is often not the right one.
Yes โ and this is precisely where root cause investigation matters most. Sildenafil and tadalafil improve blood flow, but they are ineffective when ED is driven by hormonal imbalance, psychological factors, nerve issues, or certain metabolic conditions. If PDE5 inhibitors haven't worked for you, it strongly suggests your ED has an underlying cause that hasn't been identified. That's what we're here to find.
Yes โ and this is medically well-established. Erectile dysfunction is recognised as an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease. Research shows that men who develop ED face a significantly elevated risk of heart attack or stroke within 5โ10 years if underlying vascular risk factors go unaddressed. ED can also be an early indicator of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid dysfunction.
Treating your ED as a signal worth investigating โ rather than a symptom to suppress โ can have real implications for your long-term health. This is exactly why we take the comprehensive approach we do.
Your Root Cause Report is a personalised clinical document written by a registered UK GP. It includes: a plain-language interpretation of your full blood results; identification of likely and possible root causes; a summary of your key risk areas โ hormonal, vascular, metabolic, psychological; a ranked list of recommended next steps tailored to your specific findings; and information on all relevant treatment options, from lifestyle changes to medication to specialist referral.
It is not an automated printout. It is a considered medical opinion, written about you specifically. No two reports are the same.
Most men receive their completed GP Root Cause Report within 5โ7 working days of their blood sample being received by our accredited UK laboratory. Your kit is dispatched within 1โ2 working days of purchase and includes a pre-paid return envelope. Once analysed, your GP writes and reviews your report before it is released securely to your private online account.
A registered UK General Practitioner (GP) with specific interest in men's health reviews your results โ not an algorithm, not a nurse, not an automated system. A real doctor reads your blood results alongside your questionnaire responses and writes a report specifically about you.
It is clinically essential โ not a formality. The questionnaire captures what blood tests cannot: the nature and onset of your symptoms, psychological factors, relationship context, sleep quality, medication history, alcohol and lifestyle habits, stress levels, and prior treatments. Many causes of ED โ including performance anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and medication side effects โ are entirely invisible on a blood test. Your GP uses both data sets together to form a complete clinical picture.
No โ and that is intentional. Medication is one option within your report, not the default outcome. Many men find that once the root cause is identified โ a hormonal imbalance, a cardiovascular risk factor, a sleep disorder, or psychological stress โ the most effective path is addressing that cause directly. Some men benefit from lifestyle changes or supplementation. Others choose medication alongside other interventions. Your report lays out your specific options clearly and without pressure. You are always in control.
We offer two options. Most men choose our at-home venous blood test kit, which includes everything needed to collect a sample yourself. For those who prefer a clinical setting, we can arrange an appointment at a partner clinic. Either way, all samples are processed by UKAS-accredited UK laboratories โ the same standard used by the NHS.
Testosterone clinics are designed around one pathway: identify testosterone deficiency and treat it with TRT. This is appropriate for men who genuinely have hypogonadism โ but it addresses only one possible cause of ED. The majority of men with ED do not have low testosterone, and even those who do often have additional contributing factors that TRT alone will not resolve. Medimob investigates all potential causes and gives you a complete picture, not a single-answer solution.
NHS GPs provide excellent care, but standard investigation for ED in primary care is highly variable. Average appointment times leave little room for thorough exploration, and many men are offered a sildenafil prescription without a comprehensive hormonal or cardiovascular workup. Medimob offers a depth of investigation โ full blood panel, detailed questionnaire, personalised GP report โ that most men would struggle to access through a standard NHS appointment without multiple referrals. And we work entirely around your schedule, with no waiting room and no waiting list.
Completely. Your assessment, blood results, and GP report are stored securely in your private online account and never shared without your explicit consent. Your test kit is delivered in plain, unmarked packaging with no brand name visible. We are fully GDPR-compliant for information security. Your GP report is not sent to your NHS GP unless you specifically request it.
The complete Medimob assessment โ advanced blood panel, clinical questionnaire, and personalised GP Root Cause Report โ is ยฃ249. This is a one-time fee with no subscription and no ongoing commitment. It includes your secure online results, full GP report, and guidance on next steps. Any follow-up treatment or referral is entirely your decision.
Yes โ your Root Cause Report and full blood results are yours. Many men use them to have a more informed conversation with their NHS GP, or to pursue specialist referral with a urologist, endocrinologist, or cardiologist. Your GP report can be shared with any healthcare provider you choose.
Very common. Studies estimate ED affects around 1 in 3 men at some point in their lives. It is not something to be embarrassed about or dismiss as inevitable ageing. What matters is understanding why it is happening โ because in the majority of cases, there is an identifiable and addressable cause. The men who benefit most are those who treat it as a health signal worth investigating, rather than a problem to manage with a pill or accept in silence.
Your report will clearly outline recommended actions โ which may include lifestyle changes, supplementation, medication, further specialist assessment, or a combination. If you have questions about your report, our clinical team is available to help you understand your results. There is no obligation to purchase anything further. We believe the value of knowing is itself significant โ and that informed men make better decisions about their health.
