Erectile Dysfunction Treatments in Marietta, GA

Erectile Dysfunction Treatments Marietta, GA

Erectile dysfunction (ED)—traditionally known as male impotence—is a form of sexual dysfunction in which a man has the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual activity. While most men will have occasional difficulty achieving a healthy erection during sexual intercourse, ED is only considered a possible medical explanation for these symptoms if erection difficulties have been affecting a man for an extended period of time.

Unfortunately, even though as much as 52% of the male population experience ED, most men fail to seek medical care and have difficulties talking about sex with their healthcare provider. If you are experiencing erectile dysfunction it is imperative to seek healthcare guidance as ED could signal other health problems are at play.

To schedule a consultation with a healthcare provider in Marietta that can discuss erectile dysfunction treatments with you, call (770) 674-6311 or contact Natural Medical Solutions Wellness Center online.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can manifest from both medical and psychological causes. Often, age is a predominant factor in erectile dysfunction; however, your chronological age is not solely responsible for ED’s development. ED in men over the age of 40 typically occurs as the result of inadequate blood flow to the penis, most often due to the narrowing of blood vessels. This can arise due to issues such as diabetes, heart disease and even smoking.

Other factors which may contribute to the manifestation of erectile dysfunction include:

  • Low testosterone
  • Atherosclerosis
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Obesity
  • Alcohol and illegal drug use
  • Certain prescription medications such as antidepressants or blood pressure medication
  • Pelvic injuries or surgical complications affecting the pelvic area which harm nerves in the penis

For younger men, ED can occur due to the above mentioned factors; however, psychological factors are more often at play such as depression, fatigue, anxiety and conflicts within interpersonal relationships, particularly intimate relationships.

Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms

As mentioned, the telltale sign of erectile dysfunction is failure to achieve or maintain an erection that is firm enough for penetration during sex. This may cause a reduced sex drive in men. In addition, erectile dysfunction symptoms can be psychological and include low self-esteem and depression which result due to the physical symptoms.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Your healthcare provider will want to perform a thorough physical exam and discuss your medical history with you in order to diagnose erectile dysfunction. If an underlying condition is contributing to erectile dysfunction symptoms, it is important for your healthcare provider to discover this root cause in order to recommend the most appropriate treatment. Your healthcare provider may recommend blood testing to check hormone levels—particularly testosterone—and lipid levels.

Your erectile dysfunction treatment plan may be multifaceted depending upon your current health state. If an underlying condition is responsible for part or all of your ED symptoms, your healthcare provider will recommend treating that condition in addition to your erectile dysfunction. In addition, your healthcare provider will likely recommend certain lifestyle changes such as:

  • Smoking cessation
  • Weight loss
  • Lowering or eliminating alcohol and drug use
  • Increased physical activity
  • Stress-reducing activities such a yoga and meditation

To directly address your erection problems, your healthcare provider may also recommend a treatment such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Shock wave therapy utilizes pulsed acoustic waves to help stimulate blood vessel growth and restore proper blood flow to your penis. It is a drug-free, surgery-free natural therapy which can be completed in the comfort of your healthcare provider’s office in 20-30 minutes and provides long-lasting results.

Stimulate Your Sex Life

Erectile dysfunction does not have to be a life sentence so long as you have a meaningful conversation with your healthcare provider about your erectile difficulties, and are open to innovative, non-invasive treatments which can alter your sex life for the better.
