How Can Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms be Improved?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common but frustrating issue that impacts millions of men worldwide. While many prescription medications are available to improve ED symptoms, they come with painful and unwanted side effects.

Alma Duo uses focused low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels within the penis and improve circulation. This restores natural function to those suffering from ED.

Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates, P.A. understands the importance of treating erectile dysfunction without the risk of further health complications. Call now to book an ED assessment with Dr. Brenda Vozza. Our Longview, TX office takes extra steps to ensure your visit is safe and comfortable.

Uncovering the causes of erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction occurs when there is inadequate blood flow to the penis, making it difficult to gain or maintain an erection. While certain medical conditions are associated with ED, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, psychological factors also play a role. Dr. Vozza will take the time to evaluate your medical history and lifestyle habits before recommending a personalized treatment plan. Men with ED may feel embarrassed to discuss the issue with a medical provider, but it's important to find the root cause before moving forward. The following factors may contribute to ED:

• Stress, anxiety, or depression
• Hormone imbalances
• Diabetes
• Heart disease or other cardiovascular conditions
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Damage to the nerves in the penis
• Certain medications
• Smoking, alcoholism, or drug use

What are the most common ED symptoms?

ED may present itself in several ways, including the following:

• Inability to sustain an erection long enough for intercourse
• A decrease in the quality and frequency of erections
• Reduced sexual desire
• Pain during erection or ejaculation

It's important to take action if you notice any of these issues. The sooner you seek medical care from a provider like Dr. Vozza in Longview, TX, the better your outcomes may be.
