ED, or erectile dysfunction, is defined as the inability to obtain or maintain an erection of sufficient hardness and for a long enough time to satisfy your partner sexually.

Erectile Dysfunction

The effects of Erectile Dysfunction on the man and his partner go beyond the inability to have sex. Most men who have the problem feel inadequate and become depressed. They can fight with their wives, have trouble concentrating at work, and tend not to talk about the real problem that is bothering them. They lose their sense of “maleness” and that sense does not return until after the problem is corrected or treated.

The good news is that there are many effective and specific treatments for Erectile Dysfunction and if desired, the ability to have intercourse again can be achieved.

I have specialized in the latest treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction throughout my Urology career. In fact I have founded a biotech company that is investigating the use of a breakthrough therapy for Erectile Dysfunction (see Gene Therapy in the Research Section) and hope that will be available in the near future for my patients.

What are the steps to get treated for Erectile Dysfunction?

The first rule is that you should not try your friend’s medicine to fix your problem or buy any online. In some cases that could even be fatal.

If you are serious about fixing the problem, you need to make an appointment for a proper history and physical examination so that the problem can be evaluated a diagnosis made, and the best treatment (s) selected.

I think it is important to listen to, and look at, patients so I do not have a computer on my desk to enter data and distract me from learning your true issues.

If your sexual partner can accompany you to the first meeting that’s even better. In the pre-Viagra days I used to interview all Erectile Dysfunction patients with their partner and a sex therapist. She in turn would do separate individual interviews of the couple. In that way everyone was on board and agreed with the choice of therapy. For many reasons that is not done today but I learned that having the partner participate if at all possible makes for more successful outcomes for all involved.

In summary, don’t live with Erectile Dysfunction anymore. Don’t be embarrassed to discuss Erectile Dysfunction with your doctor or your spouse. You are not alone.
