Suffering From Erectile Dysfunction? Our Urologist Uncovers The Causes

The ability to get and maintain an erection plays an important role in a man’s self-image. Problems in this area can impact not only your relationships but your confidence at work and in other areas of life. However, as it is a deeply personal and sensitive issue, many patients who experience erectile dysfunction (ED) are reluctant to talk about it and delay getting the care and treatment they need.

If you are experiencing problems achieving or maintaining an erection, you are not alone. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). more than 30 million men suffer from ED. Acknowledging the issue is the first step. The next involves getting the medical help you need. Our Brooklyn urologist is a specialist in diagnosing and treating problems with the urinary tract and reproductive system. This includes erectile dysfunction. We identify underlying problems that factor into your ED, which may include:

• Low testosterone levels;
• Chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease;
• Parkinson’s disease, kidney disease, and other serious disorders;
• Medical issues with the prostate or bladder;
• Certain types of medications;
• Anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues;
• Sleep disorders;
• Lifestyle issues, such as smoking, excessive drinking, and being overweight;

Treatments For Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can have a devastating impact on your relationships and confidence levels, while underlying causes could be wreaking havoc with your overall health. Our board-certified urologist specializes in identifying and resolving these issues, allowing you to resume a healthy, active sex life. Treatments we offer include:

• Guided behavior modification: This is one of the first and most basic steps in ED treatment. We can advise you on changes in diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle that can help in managing ED.
• Medications: There are a variety of medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for ED treatment. We can identify which are most likely to work, based on your symptoms and underlying health conditions.
• Self-injection therapy: If medications do not achieve desired results, self-injection therapy may be an option.
• Penile implants: Used in cases where other treatments have failed, penile implants have a 90 percent satisfaction rate among patients. We can help in determining whether this might be an option for you.
