Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that occurs when a man isn’t able to get or keep an erection. This can make sexual activity difficult or impossible, and it can also affect a man’s confidence. However, ED is actually very common and even natural. For example, age can be a factor in ED, as with age, testosterone levels drop naturally. But just because ED can happen naturally, it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be addressed!

It’s true that ED can have natural causes, like lower testosterone levels due to aging. Sometimes ED is caused by a chronic health condition like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a heart condition, obesity, or diabetes, and other times ED is caused by restricted blood flow in the area. Professionals can address these issues and thus treat the causes of ED. There are times when ED isn’t so natural, like when it’s caused by medication, and in this instance, the solution might be as simple as changing medications, but this should be done with the advice of a professional like one of ours here at American Male Medical.

At our clinic, our professionals can diagnose ED and treat its causes. Sometimes treatment involves medication, while other times there are better options for treatment, like wave therapy. Or when low testosterone is the cause of a man’s ED, testosterone replacement therapy may be the best option for treatment. In many patient cases, the symptoms of ED can be relieved greatly, and in many others, the condition itself can be cured entirely! Let’s talk more about the treatments out there for ED.

You might have heard about some of the prescription meds available for ED. There are some problems with these medications, like how they tend to address the symptoms of ED and not necessarily the underlying causes, and, as you might be thinking, these medications have side effects. At an ED treatment clinic like ours, the professionals offer FDA-approved medications, but medication isn’t the only treatment for ED. There are many other treatments that may be much better for you and your particular case of ED, and they may have fewer side effects. For example, the side effects of wave therapy could be considered negligible!

At American Male Medical, we offer many different treatments for ED, like sublingual tablets, Trimix injections, and wave therapy. Wave therapy is amazing, as it can actually increase blood flow in blood vessels and stimulate the development of new blood vessels. The treatment is very safe, and there are very few and generally minimal side effects. Also, the therapy can fix ED altogether in many cases! For patients whose ED is caused by low testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy will help with the ED while improving energy levels, mental clarity, and sex drive. With this therapy, many patients report an overall better feeling in their life.

American Male Medical offers all of the treatments we’ve mentioned. You might not know which treatment is best for you until you understand the cause of your case of ED.
