Understanding Why Erectile Dysfunction Happens

Erectile dysfunction rarely has a single cause, instead resulting from complex interactions between physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors that become more common with age. Age-Related Changes: Natural aging affects testosterone production, blood vessel elasticity, and nerve sensitivity, making erections less reliable after age 40. While ED isn’t inevitable with aging, physiological changes increase the likelihood of sexual function challenges.

• Hormonal Factors: Low testosterone affects sexual desire and erectile quality, while thyroid disorders and diabetes can disrupt the delicate hormonal balance necessary for optimal sexual function. Dr. Houman’s comprehensive hormone evaluation identifies and corrects these underlying imbalances.
• Vascular Causes: Cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and atherosclerosis reduce blood flow to penile tissues, making firm erections difficult to achieve or maintain. Since erectile function serves as an early indicator of cardiovascular health, addressing ED often improves overall wellness.
• Psychological Components: Stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties create a cycle where performance concerns worsen erectile function. Dr. Houman’s holistic approach addresses both physical and emotional aspects of sexual health.
• Post-Surgical Effects: Prostate surgery, radical prostatectomy, and other pelvic procedures can damage nerves and blood vessels essential for erectile function. Dr. Houman specializes in post-surgical ED rehabilitation and penile implant procedures for men requiring definitive solutions.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Oral Medications (PDE5 Inhibitors)

First-line treatment includes sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra), and avanafil (Stendra). Dr. Houman optimizes dosing and timing while managing potential interactions with other medications, ensuring maximum effectiveness and safety.

Injectable Therapies

Intracavernosal injections using alprostadil, papaverine, or combination medications provide reliable erections for men who don’t respond to oral treatments. Dr. Houman provides comprehensive injection training and ongoing support for optimal outcomes.

Shockwave Therapy

Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) stimulates blood vessel growth and nerve regeneration, offering a non-invasive option for men with mild to moderate vascular ED. This innovative treatment can restore natural erectile function without ongoing medication dependence.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (P-Shot)

The Priapus Shot utilizes concentrated growth factors from the patient’s own blood to enhance penile blood flow and sensitivity. This regenerative treatment option appeals to men seeking natural enhancement of sexual function.

Testosterone Optimization

Comprehensive hormone evaluation and testosterone replacement therapy address low T contributing to erectile dysfunction. Dr. Houman’s expertise ensures optimal hormone balance while monitoring for potential side effects and contraindications.
