Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is defined by difficulty getting and keeping an erection long enough for sexual intercourse. For most men, it can be an embarrassing thing to talk about because it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems.
It’s been reported that more than half of men between the ages of 40 and 70 experience some form of ED. At Optimal Health TRT in Atlanta, Georgia, we offer hormone replacement therapy that includes effective erectile dysfunction treatment.
What Are The Common Causes of Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction affects millions of men around the world. In America, as many as 30 million men suffer from impotence. Risks of developing erectile dysfunction increase significantly with age. Male sexual arousal is an interconnected process that involves the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. A combination of physical and psychological issues can cause erectile dysfunction. Stress and mental health increase the possibility of erectile dysfunction.
The most common causes of erectile dysfunction are:
- Heart disease
- Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes or Obesity
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Certain prescription medications
- Tobacco use
- Peyronie’s disease — development of scar tissue inside the penis
- Alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse
- Sleep disorders
- Treatments for prostate cancer or enlarged prostate
- Surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord
- Hormonal imbalance
- Depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions
- Stress
What Is Hormone Replacement?
Hormones are characterized as chemicals that coordinate different functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs, skin, muscles, and other tissues. These signals tell your body what to do and when to do it. Testosterone plays a vital role in the production of sperm production and sexual drive. A decrease in testosterone levels could result in a lack of sex drive and performance in a male. Lowered testosterone levels are caused by obesity, high cholesterol, blood pressure, and depression. When your impotence is not caused by bad health, it is a sign to visit Optimal Health TRT to test for low testosterone. A hormonal imbalance is safely and effectively corrected with hormone replacement.
Hormone replacement therapy uses naturally derived hormones to rebalance your natural hormone levels. Hormone replacement therapy comes in many forms like injections, Enclomiphene, and estrogen blockers all determined by the varying degrees of impotence, ranging from slightly reduced rigidity to complete inability to achieve an erection.
Benefits Of Hormone Replacement For Erectile Dysfunction
If an individual’s testosterone levels are low, hormone replacement can help improve men’s health in several ways that directly or indirectly target erectile dysfunction. Returning a person’s testosterone levels to their normal levels does more than just restore their sex drive and performance.
Testosterone replacement therapy also meliorates some of the common causes of erectile dysfunction such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. When these conditions get better, blood can reach your penis more easily. TRT Therapy also helps boost men’s mood and energy which can enhance their mental health. This form of therapy safely delivers long-lasting results.
