What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex.

Having erection problems occasionally isn't a cause for concern. If it's an ongoing issue, however, it can make you feel stressed, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Difficulty getting or keeping an erection is also sometimes a sign of underlying health conditions that may need treatment and may be a risk factor for heart disease.

What are the symptoms of erectile dysfunction?

The symptoms of erectile dysfunction include:

• Difficulty getting an erection
• Difficulty keeping an erection
• Lower sexual desire

When should I see a provider for erectile dysfunction?

You can make an appointment with Dustin at ViteleDoc if you have problems getting or maintaining an erection that is firm enough for sex. It’s especially important to seek treatment if this is causing you to have relationship problems, or lower self confidence. 

How is erectile dysfunction diagnosed?

At ViteleDoc, Dustin performs all exams virtually. To diagnose erectile dysfunction, he reviews your medical records and asks about your symptoms, including when the erectile dysfunction started, if certain things like stress and mental health concerns are affecting you, and what treatment you may have tried in the past. 

Physical and psychological problems sometimes combine to cause erectile dysfunction. For example, minor physical conditions may slow your sexual response leading to anxiety. This anxiety about maintaining an erection may lead to or worsen erectile dysfunction. 

After determining the cause of your erectile dysfunction, Dustin makes treatment recommendations.

How is erectile dysfunction treated?

Treatment of erectile dysfunction depends on the underlying cause and severity of your symptoms. If you have physical or psychological conditions that are contributing to your erectile dysfunction, Dustin recommends specific ways to improve those conditions. 

Dustin also prescribes medications that help alleviate the symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

Dustin’s goal is to relieve your symptoms of erectile dysfunction by determining its source, providing health recommendations to improve any contributing condition, and prescribing effective medication to treat this issue.
