Erectile Dysfunction (ED) — erection problems.
In most cases this problem is well treated — the most important step is finding the exact cause.
Why it happens (simple explanation)
Main causes: blood vessel and nerve damage (diabetes, hypertension, obesity), psychological factors (stress, depression), hormonal changes, smoking, alcohol and some medications.
How it is diagnosed
Evaluation is done step by step:
- Urological examination and detailed discussion (lifestyle and medical history)
- Blood tests (sugar, cholesterol, testosterone)
- Ultrasound (blood flow check)
- Special tests or psychologist consultation if needed
How it is treated
Treatment is chosen individually.
Medications
PDE-5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil) — the most effective and fast-acting drugs.
Non-medication methods
Lifestyle changes (exercise, diet, quitting smoking), Kegel exercises and psychological support give excellent results.
Other methods
Injections, vacuum pump or surgery (implant) are considered if needed.
