Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can result from a variety of factors, including low testosterone levels, cardiovascular conditions like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, stress, anxiety, or other mental health issues.⁴ Certain medications and lifestyle habits, such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, can also contribute to ED. A thorough evaluation by one of our healthcare professionals can help identify the underlying cause and guide your treatment plan. 

In the past, older observational studies suggested that long-term testosterone use might increase the risk of cardiovascular disease or stimulate the growth of existing prostate cancer. However, more recent clinical trials, which offer more reliable data than observational studies, have provided reassurance. For men who are clearly diagnosed with testosterone deficiency, there appears to be no increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or a heightened chance of developing new prostate cancer from TRT.

While this new research is encouraging, we will carefully consider these risks with you before committing to long-term testosterone therapy, particularly if there are underlying health conditions to take into account.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be part of your ED treatment if low testosterone levels are a contributing factor. However, although taking testosterone may help your ED, it is often unhelpful if your ED is caused by circulatory or nerve problems.⁵ That’s why we take a holistic approach to our treatment plans, designed to identify the root cause and tailor solutions to your unique needs.
