1. Can erectile dysfunction be mental?

Absolutely. However, this does not mean that the problem is “all in your head” or any less valid than someone who experiences erectile dysfunction due to a physical problem. Mental causes of ED account for about 10 to 20 percent of all cases and are often a secondary reaction a physical issue. Mental causes of ED might be linked to abuse or sexual trauma in childhood, but is more commonly associated with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, guilt, or depression.

2. What causes male impotence?

Impotence can be caused by a number of issues. Common causes include pre-existing medical conditions, lifestyle choices, stress, poor communication, and side effects from medication. For instance, diabetes, hard disease, kidney disease, and MS have all been linked to impotence. So have depression and anxiety. There is also evidence that smoking, excessive alcohol use and use of certain drugs can cause impotence. Finally, those who have undergone radiation and other cancer treatments, or who experienced injuries or damage to the pelvic area might experience impotence.

3. Does erectile dysfunction happen suddenly?

It can, depending on the underlying cause of the problem. For instance, if a man suffers an injury that affects his pelvic region it can result in immediate erectile dysfunction. Mental and emotional causes of ED can also result in the issue developing suddenly. In some cases, ED issues pass as quickly as they arose, but sometimes medical support is needed. There are also instances in which a man develops ED gradually or deals with it sporadically. This is especially true when it is linked to a disease.

4. What is ICP injection therapy?

Penile Injection therapy or ICP consists of a combination of substances being injected into the penis. Injections include a customized combination of Prostaglandin, Papaverine, and Phentolamine. The treatment has been in use for about 30 years and was first discovered when a patient received an accidental injection during heart surgery. Used properly, ICP is relatively safe and effective. Side effects include bruising or the forming of a small hematoma at the injection site.

Customized exercise plans can also be developed and help patients hasten their weight loss and improve their overall health, both short- and long-term.

7. Are your weight loss programs safe?

Avoid smoking and excessive drinking and use of certain drugs. All of these things have been linked to ED. Living a healthier life also reduces your risk for health issues that are linked to ED, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Erectile Dysfunction and Sexual Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction, often shortened to ED, occurs when a man is unable to get and keep a firm erection that makes it possible to engage in sexual intercourse.

ED is not normal, even for aging men, but it is common. At Florida Men’s Health, we work with men of all ages and from all walks of life. Estimates show that approximately one in every 10 men will suffer from ED at some point in his lifetime. Occasional issues, less than 20 percent of the time, are usually not cause for concern. But with ED, a man is unable to achieve an erection at least 50 percent of the time and it is a sign of an underlying issue...

What are the Causes of ED and Sexual Dysfunction?

Understanding the causes of ED and other sexual dysfunctions and knowing that both are usually symptoms of other underlying issues can make it easier to treat and/or manage the problem. In many cases, ED is linked to other sexual dysfunctions, including problems with orgasm, ejaculations, and lack of sexual desire.

There is a wide variety of issues that can trigger erectile and other sexual dysfunctions, including:

Vascular disease
Neurological disorders
Psychological states
Trauma
Chronic illnesses and certain diseases
Certain medications
Surgery

It is common for men to experience ED as a common side effect of certain prescription drugs because of how their hormones are affected. Prescription medications can also affect the nervous system and blood circulation, both of which play a role in the development of an erection.

If you believe a prescription drug you are taking as affected your ability to get an erection or has caused any other type of sexual dysfunction, you should not stop taking the medication. Instead, speak to your doctor or contact our clinic for an evaluation.

Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction and Other Sexual Dysfunctions

ED can be treated in many ways, including:

Hormone therapy
Oral medications
Therapy
Penile injections
Vacuum devices
Intra-urethral medication
Surgery and implants

Each therapy option has its own pros and cons and every patient is different. At Florida Men’s Health, we assess your overall health and specific circumstances to determine the underlying cause of your ED. Then we design a customized treatment program that is right for you.

What Should You Do If You are Experiencing Erectile Dysfunction or Other Sexual Dysfunction?
