Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) — the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity — is a common condition that can affect men of all ages. While it becomes more prevalent with age, ED isn’t an inevitable part of aging and often signals underlying physical or emotional factors. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive evaluation and a full range of treatment options tailored to each patient’s needs and goals. We approach care with sensitivity, expertise, and respect for your privacy so you can feel confident seeking the help you deserve.
Understanding Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction can result from a variety of causes, including vascular issues, hormonal imbalances, nerve damage, medication side effects, stress, anxiety, or chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Because ED may also be an early warning sign of cardiovascular or metabolic problems, a thorough medical and sexual health evaluation is essential in determining the best path forward.
Personalized Treatment Approaches
Our team begins with a detailed assessment that includes a review of your health history, physical exam, and any necessary laboratory testing. Based on your specific situation, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include one or more of the following:
- Lifestyle and risk-factor management: Addressing modifiable contributors such as smoking, weight, nutrition, and exercise
- Oral medications: PDE5 inhibitors that help promote blood flow to support erections
- Hormone evaluation and therapy: Identifying and treating testosterone deficiency when appropriate
- Penile injection therapy: Medications injected directly into the penis to facilitate an erection
- Urethral suppositories: Medicated pellets placed in the urethra to help achieve rigidity
- Vacuum erection devices: External pumps that assist blood flow into the penis
- Implantable penile prostheses: Surgically placed devices that provide a reliable option for men who prefer a long-term solution
Supporting Your Overall Well-Being
Erectile dysfunction can impact not just physical intimacy but also emotional well-being and relationships. We aim to create a supportive environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and exploring options that align with their values and lifestyle. Our focus is on evidence-based care, clear communication, and outcomes that enhance satisfaction and quality of life.
