What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) — previously known as impotence — is an inability to get an erection when you wish to have sex or not being able to sustain an erection during sex. You might also get erections that aren’t hard enough for intercourse.

Erectile dysfunction is a common problem, affecting around 30 million men across the United States. While it’s not unusual to have the occasional issue with your erections, if you experience frequent episodes of erectile dysfunction for more than a couple of months, it could indicate you need treatment for an underlying condition.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is often due to low testosterone (male sex hormone) levels, particularly from middle age. ED can also develop for numerous other physical and psychological reasons, including:

• Aging
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Cigarette smoking
• Atherosclerosis
• Depression
• Nerve or spinal cord damage
• Medication side effects
• Substance misuse
• Heart disease
• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Surgeries or injuries
• Excess body weight
• Stress and anxiety
• Peyronie’s disease (curved penis)

In most cases, ED is treatable for men of any age. If you feel embarrassed to talk to anyone about your erectile dysfunction, you can be sure you'll receive discreet and compassionate care at Revive Health Clinic.

What treatments help with erectile dysfunction?

Treatments for erectile dysfunction include:

Lifestyle changes

Healthier lifestyles boost erectile function significantly. Your Revive Health Clinic provider can help you make changes like stopping smoking, reducing your alcohol consumption, losing weight, exercising regularly, or learning to manage and reduce stress.

Hormone replacement therapy

Hormone therapy increases the testosterone in your system, helping you get erections. It’s very effective for men with low testosterone but needs to be used with caution by experts like the Revive Health Clinic team to prevent problems caused by excessively high hormone levels.

Revive Health Clinic has also achieved great success with Trimix. This injectable drug uses a combination of three vasodilators — prostaglandin, papaverine, and phentolamine — that increase penile blood flow for better, more consistent erections. Your provider will show you how to inject Trimix before intercourse.

Storz Medical shockwave therapy

Storz Medical shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction that uses high-energy acoustic waves to improve blood flow to the penis. This therapy promotes natural tissue regeneration and may enhance erectile function without the need for surgery or medication.

Drug therapy

PDE5 inhibitors are oral medications that can prevent ED. They’re better known by their brand names Viagra®, Levitra®, and Cialis®.

Talk therapy

Talk therapies are vital to address any psychological causes of erectile dysfunction.
