Conditions We Treat: Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) refers to the inability to obtain or maintain an erection that is firm enough or lasts long enough to have satisfactory sexual intercourse. It affects almost all men at one time or another in their lives and can be caused by various disorders, hormonal problems, injuries, medications or psychological conditions. Sometimes, erectile dysfunction may be a side effect of prostate cancer treatment.

What to Expect
Erectile dysfunction is almost always treatable. At your initial consultation, we will explain that we don’t view the condition as a natural consequence of aging — nor is it “all in your head.” Instead, we’ll work to diagnose the precise physical or psychological cause and then personalize a treatment plan that works for you.
The diagnostic process is thorough and includes:
- Sexual function history
- General medical history
- Psychosocial history
- Medication history
- Physical examination
- Laboratory testing
