What is Erectile Dysfunction?
When a man is unable to have normal sex because he cannot get or maintain a firm erection, it is called Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Many men experience it temporarily when physically or mentally stressed.
If you experience ED frequently, it can be a sign of health problems. Please speak to one of our doctors.
How do we develop Erectile Dysfunction?
An erection is the result of blood flowing into the penis. This is controlled by the brain and the blood vessels supplying the penis.
There are many diseases that cause or contribute to ED. Some common causes:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Dyslipidemia
- Obesity
- Increasing age
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Smoking
What is the treatment for Erectile Dysfunction?
After proper assessment and treatment of any underlying medical causes, ED is treated by medications that improve blood flow to the penis.
Our doctors at Cross Street Medical can provide a proper assessment of ED and offer ED treatment. Speak to our doctors about what you may need. We ensure patient privacy and confidentiality for all discussions, tests and treatments.
