ED Q & A

What is ED?

Erectile dysfunction can be brought on by any number of mental or physical conditions affecting men of all ages.

Erectile dysfunction is a common condition in which a male is unable to achieve or maintain an erection long enough for intercourse. It’s estimated that 40% of men in their 40s struggle with ED, a number that steadily increases to 70% of men in their 70s.

What causes ED?

While an erection may seem like a simple process, it’s actually quite complex involving your:

Brain
Hormones
Vascular health
Muscles
Nerves
Emotions
Prostate health

What this means is that a malfunction in any of these areas can lead to ED. That said, the most common drivers of ED include:

Heart disease
Narrowed blood vessels
Diabetes
Obesity
High blood pressure or high cholesterol
Substance use disorders
Co-occurring medical conditions like prostate health or multiple sclerosis
Certain medications
Anxiety or depression

What are the treatments for ED?

Because of the wide range of possibilities, your Chesapeake Wellness Center provider first performs a thorough analysis of your health to determine whether your ED may be part of a larger issue. Once they narrow down their diagnosis, they can get you on the road to better sexual health.

Your provider may recommend a combination of lifestyle changes and medications to achieve long term improvements.
