In addition to helping men, women and families with general health, our team of diversely trained Providers at Pro Health Texas also specialize in assisting men who struggle with their sexual performance. Almost all men have occasionally experienced some difficulty with becoming hard or staying firm, but this is not a diagnosis for erectile dysfunction. It becomes more of a cause for concern when the issue persists or happens multiple times.
Advances in modern medicine have made erectile dysfunction an open book of conversation, no longer the topic to shy away from as there are many medical and psychological explanations. Broadly, two forms of erectile dysfunction can affect men’s sex lives – the main cause is either medical or psychosocial. These can include issues in many realms, from issues with intimacy in a relationship to hormones and blood supply and could even extend to the possibility of serious conditions that are very important to address.
Often times, it is a physical issue causing difficulty and erectile dysfunction. Some of these include, heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, Parkinson’s, Multiple sclerosis, thyroid disorders, various diseases, smoking, substance abuse, injuries in the pelvic region or spinal cord, radiation therapy to pelvic region and several other smaller physical issues.
Some of the more serious issues can be vascular issues inhibiting blood flow, and neurological causes that affect nerve signals, often due to underlying disease processes of atherosclerosis and diabetes. To prevent these things from causing erectile dysfunction you can eliminate risk factors such as smoking, poor diet and minimal to no physical activity.
To treat erectile dysfunction, our Providers take a comprehensive approach rather than just throw more medications at you. We focus on the root cause to stop the progression, and start treating the damage that has been caused.
We take this condition very seriously as it is a very important part of men’s health. Call us to discuss the best way to get your life back to normal at (972) 215-7985.
