What is erectile dysfunction?

  • Erectile dysfunction, also commonly known as ED, is the inability to maintain or achieve an erection. While you may have occasional problems with getting firm erections, it shouldn’t be a regular problem. 

  • If you have consistent trouble with your erections and it’s affecting your relationship, sexual life, and mental health, you may need medical treatment. 

How is erectile dysfunction diagnosed through a virtual exam?

  • Revive Performance Medicine provides thorough virtual exams to identify the cause of your erectile dysfunction. They may refer you to a local lab for blood tests, ultrasounds, or other diagnostic tests to look for health conditions that prevent you from getting an erection.

  • During your telehealth visit, your provider may also ask about your symptoms, lifestyle habits, and concerns about sexual health. 

How is erectile dysfunction treated?

  • Your provider develops a customized treatment plan to address the underlying cause of your erectile dysfunction. They may recommend lifestyle modifications, medications, counseling, or other special procedures to increase blood flow or stretch the penis.

  • Since Revive Performance Medicine conducts physical exams and consultations virtually, you can receive medical guidance from the comfort of your home and in privacy. 

What causes erectile dysfunction?

  • When a man becomes sexually aroused, his body releases chemicals that increase the blood flow to the penis and produce an erection. 

  • Several factors may interfere with your ability to get an erection or maintain it long enough for fulfilling sex. In some cases, erectile dysfunction may be tied to poor blood circulation. Or, you might have a medical condition that affects your erections.  

  • Common health conditions that can cause erectile dysfunction include:

    • Stress

    • Relationship troubles

    • Certain fears about performance

    • Nerve problems
