What is Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or maintain an erection long enough to have sexual intercourse. There are many different causes, which may include conditions that affect your blood vessels, neurological conditions, mental health conditions and injuries.
While it’s not rare for a man to have some problems with erections from time to time, ED that is progressive or happens routinely with sex is not normal, and it should be treated.
Your Urology Nevada physician will work with you to determine the cause of your erectile dysfunction. To begin determining a treatment plan, your physician will conduct a thorough physical and mental health exam, including questions about your medical and sexual history. Your doctor may order blood work or other tests, as well.
