Erectile Dysfunction Specialist

What is erectile dysfunction? 

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to attain and keep an erection, preventing you from having satisfactory sexual intercourse. That can lead to other damaging effects, including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, and poor self-esteem. 

Erectile dysfunction is, in many cases, a silent marker for cardiovascular disease. So, by treating erectile dysfunction early, you could potentially prevent cardiovascular disease and live a longer and healthier life.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

Age is often a contributor to erectile dysfunction. That happens because you produce less and less testosterone (the hormone that plays a huge role in sexual function) as you age — after the age of 30, your total testosterone production decreases steadily by up to 2% each year. 

That helps to explain why erectile dysfunction incidence increases by 10% per decade of life. For example, 50% of men over 50 have erectile dysfunction, and that rises to 60% after age 60. 

Aside from age, many different lifestyle factors, habits, and health factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction. A few of the different physical contributors can include excess weight, diabetes, sleep disorders, enlarged prostate gland, high cholesterol, and atherosclerosis.

Emotions and mental health can also play a role in erectile dysfunction. Difficulties within the relationship outside the bedroom can also creep into the bedroom to cause erectile difficulties. 

How is erectile dysfunction treated?

There are many different approaches to erectile dysfunction, ranging from psychotherapy to oral medications to surgery like penile implants. 

Cutting Edge Testosterone Therapy LLC offers testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), the main form of men’s hormone replacement therapy, because it’s one of the most successful methods of treating not only erectile dysfunction but also a host of other symptoms and issues. 

By returning your testosterone levels to those that match your younger years, you can expect:

• Improved erections
• More stamina
• Higher libido
• More energy
• Reduced body fat
• Improved muscle mass
• Stronger bones
• More confidence

The most effective method of testosterone therapy is injections, which go straight into your bloodstream to start normalizing your hormone levels. Other methods, like patches and creams, may also be an option for testosterone replacement therapy.
