What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction, often called ED, is a form of sexual dysfunction in men where it’s difficult to achieve or maintain an erection. You may also experience reduced sexual desire.

ED is highly treatable with the right plan. The Institute for Hormonal Balance team has the expertise and training to treat ED and other forms of sexual dysfunction.

What can cause erectile dysfunction?

The common causes and risk factors associated with erectile dysfunction include:

• Low testosterone
• Aging
• Obesity
• Drug or alcohol use
• Injuries
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Tobacco use
• Prescription medications
• Sleep disorders
• Substance misuse
• Surgeries
• Cancer treatments
• Stress
• Depression
• Relationship challenges

Adopting healthy habits may decrease your risk of developing erectile dysfunction, but because of aging and hormone imbalance, you might not be able to avoid ED without treatment. 

How does my specialist diagnose erectile dysfunction?

Diagnosing ED involves a review of your symptoms and medical history. Your provider asks about any past diagnoses, medications, lifestyle, and other risk factors for erectile dysfunction. They may complete a physical exam to detect or rule out underlying causes of ED and order blood tests to assess your testosterone levels.

How is ED treated?

The Institute for Hormonal Balance offers an array of treatments for erectile dysfunction, including:

Pellet therapy

During pellet therapy, your provider cleans and numbs the treatment area, makes a small incision, and inserts hormone pellets underneath the skin in your upper buttocks or near your hip. The pellets slowly release hormones in your bloodstream to normalize levels and optimize sexual functioning. 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments

The Institute for Hormonal Balance tea takes a sample of your blood and spins it in a centrifuge to extract platelet-rich plasma. They then numb your genital area and inject PRP (P-Shot®) into it to optimize new cell generation, enhance sexual sensation, and maximize erections.

Injections

The Institute for Hormonal Balance provides TriMix and QuadMix injections to improve hormone balance and eliminate ED. 

Acoustic wave therapy

Acoustic wave therapy uses painless energy waves to stimulate new cell generation and maximize blood flow in your genital region. 

Medication management

Taking medications is another method of improving erections and eliminating bothersome ED. The Institute for Hormonal Balance offers Cialis, Viagra, dietary supplements, and more.

Lifestyle changes

The Institute for Hormonal Balance provides medically supervised weight management and healthy lifestyle counseling to optimize sexual functioning. Maintaining an ideal weight, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and minimizing stress is essential.
