Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

---

Erectile dysfunction (ED or impotence) is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. If you are experiencing symptoms of erectile dysfunction as listed below, schedule an appointment for a testosterone evaluation with our medical professionals. Once you are an established testosterone patient, our providers will tailor a personalized ED treatment plan that considers other health factors and potential lifestyle adjustments. 

• Trouble getting an erection
• Trouble keeping an erection
• Premature or delayed ejaculation

Sexual arousal is complex, involving psychological and physical factors, like the brain, hormones, muscles, blood vessels, and emotions. An issue with any (or a combination) of these physical and psychological factors may cause erectile dysfunction.

• Exercise regularly and maintain good cardiovascular health
• Establish and maintain healthy sleep habits
• Maintain a healthy weight and follow healthy nutrition guidelines
• Quit using tobacco
• Limit or avoid the use of alcohol
• Reduce stress

If the above steps don’t solve your issues with ED, you should see a medical provider to determine the cause and potential treatment solutions. Erectile dysfunction can be a sign of a larger health issue, including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, hormone deficiencies, and more. If you’re dealing with persistent ED symptoms, a comprehensive health assessment can help our providers find and treat underlying conditions that may be contributing to ED. Our providers offer customized treatment plans to help with ED and your overall health.

1. Testosterone Assessment – During your initial visit, one of our medical professionals will conduct a simple blood test, to determine your testosterone levels. If you have a low level you will schedule a second appointment to take a second lab to determine if you are qualified for treatment. All of your lab results, the responses to our health questionnaire, and your medical history will be discussed with our medical provider at this office visit.
2. Personalized Plan – Based on your lab results, and medical history, if testosterone therapy is appropriate, your provider will create your personalized testosterone replacement therapy treatment plan to treat your low T and/or ED. Additionally, if other therapies are recommended, such as treatment for sleep apnea or high blood pressure, your provider will discuss a treatment plan for those issues as well.
3. Treatment Regimen – Your treatment regimen is based on your personalized plan. If your numbers indicate low T, we will discuss testosterone replacement treatment options using testosterone replacement injections, which are administered by a medical professional in our office typically every seven to 10 days, or administered by you if you prefer one of our simple, convenient take-home options.
4. Optimization and Prevention – Once your testosterone replacement therapy regimen, or other treatment modality, is underway to address symptoms of low testosterone and/or ED (or other underlying health conditions), your provider will optimize treatments to work toward maximizing your overall health and wellness.
