Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to get or keep an erection that’s suitable for sexual intercourse. While a common concern, especially in men over 40, ED is highly treatable and something that you don’t have to live with. Dr. Viator offers ED treatments with tailored approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
While the exact cause of ED isn’t always clear, common risk factors include:
Adopting healthy habits, including eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, managing stress effectively, and maintaining a healthy weight, could help lower your risk of ED.
Dr. Viator diagnoses ED by discussing your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, medications, and goals. He checks your vital signs, completes a physical exam, and may order blood work, imaging procedures, or other diagnostic tests to determine the best treatment for your condition.
Your personalized ED treatment plan can consist of one or more of the following:
You could be a candidate for medically supervised weight loss, custom diet plans, fitness plans, or other lifestyle changes that have proved helpful in enhancing sexual functioning. It’s also good to limit or avoid alcohol and steer clear of smoking.
Some medication (when taken exactly as directed) helps you effectively achieve and sustain an erection. Dr. Viator finds a unique blend of medicines, even if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, weight management challenges, prostate cancer, or other chronic conditions that don’t interfere with your current medications.
