Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual performance. It’s a common condition among men, especially with advancing age, but it can also occur due to various physical or emotional factors. Speaking with a urologist or nephrologist is essential to find the root cause and explore suitable treatments.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

• Health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
• Hormonal changes or low testosterone levels
• Nerve damage due to surgery or injury
• Kidney-related diseases
• Stress, anxiety, or depression
• Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking or excessive alcohol intake

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

• Trouble getting or keeping an erection
• Reduced interest in sexual activity
• Difficulty with sexual satisfaction
• Emotional distress and relationship strain

Diagnosis 

A urologist will usually begin with a detailed medical history and physical check-up. They may suggest the following:

• Blood tests to check hormone and sugar levels
• Urine tests to detect underlying conditions
• Ultrasound to examine blood flow in the penis
• Mental health evaluation if stress or anxiety is suspected

Treatment and Management of Erectile Dysfunction

• Oral medications (like PDE5 inhibitors)
• Vacuum erection devices
• Penile injections or implants
• Counseling or therapy for emotional causes
• Lifestyle improvements such as a balanced diet, quitting smoking, and regular physical activity
• Close follow-up with a urologist or nephrologist to monitor progress
