THE CAUSES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Trouble getting or maintaining an erection is an issue faced by most men at one point or another. However, it can be a point of significant stress when it becomes a chronic condition, impacting one’s self-confidence and relationships.

While it can be a sensitive topic, it’s essential to seek a professional’s guidance when dealing with erectile dysfunction issues. These issues may result from an underlying medical condition that only a doctor will be able to detect and treat.

Arousal is a complex condition involving your brain, your hormones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, all working together. The source of any dysfunction could be an issue in any of these areas or several. The causes of erectile dysfunction cover a wide range of possible medical problems, including:

• Heart disease
• High blood pressure or cholesterol
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Parkinson’s disease
• Peyronie’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Medication
• Substance abuse, including alcohol or tobacco
• Pelvic surgery or injury
• Sleep disorders

TREATMENT

Dr. Jeffrey Buch at Low T Guru in Frisco, TX, offers various treatments for patients experiencing erectile dysfunction. Based on your symptoms and goals, he explains the benefits of each potential treatment, including the state-of-the-art GAINSWave procedure. This non-invasive procedure stimulates new blood vessels and other growth factors, increasing blood flow to the penis and helps the penile erection cylinders to heal their ability to lock in the blood from exiting too quickly.  This enables a more full and more firm erection. For many patients, this treatment results in more robust, more frequent erections and improved sexual performance without relying on medications or surgery.

To learn more about GAINSWave or talk with a doctor about other treatment approaches for erectile dysfunction, make an appointment with our specialist team at Low T Guru by calling (972) 430-4554.
