Schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns and explore treatment options. This allows for a thorough evaluation of your medical history and current health status.
Many factors contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED), including lifestyle choices, underlying medical conditions (like diabetes or heart disease), and psychological factors like stress and anxiety. A physical exam and potentially some blood tests will help pinpoint the cause.
Lifestyle modifications often play a crucial role. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques, such as mindfulness or yoga, can significantly improve erectile function. Quitting smoking is also vital.
Medication is a common treatment. Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil, are frequently prescribed. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis. Your doctor will help determine the most suitable medication and dosage for your individual needs. We will carefully consider any potential drug interactions.
Other treatment options include hormone therapy (if hormonal imbalances are identified), vacuum erection devices, or penile implants, which are usually considered as a last resort.
