When Should Someone Seek Medical Help for Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is extremely common and can affect a man at almost any age, though it is more common later in life. While some cases of ED may be temporary and/or situational, others become recurrent or chronic, with men struggling to achieve or maintain an erection on almost every occasion. When ED symptoms start to become more chronic, when ED symptoms don't respond to lifestyle and behavioral modifications, or when ED begins to interfere with your overall well-being, it may be time to consider seeking help from a medical professional.

At Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates, P.A. in Longview, TX, Dr. Brenda Vozza and our team of health and wellness specialists understand the highly disruptive nature of ED and are proud to offer nonsurgical ED treatment with shockwave therapy as a convenient solution for restoring stronger, more spontaneous erections without medication. Learn more about what signs and symptoms of ED mean it may be time to reach out for help.

What are the most common ED symptoms?

ED symptoms can vary widely from person to person. In some cases, men experience temporary or even one-time difficulty with erections, which may be due to an acute factor such as alcohol consumption or psychological distress. Other times, ED is a chronic condition that may progress gradually and is often associated with age, declining testosterone, and other natural processes. In either scenario, some of the most common symptoms of ED and other forms of male sexual dysfunction include:

• Difficulty achieving spontaneous erections
• Weak erections
• Erections not firm enough for intercourse
• Erections don't last long enough
• Penile curvature
• Early ejaculation
• Poor sensitivity
• Difficulty reaching orgasm
• Low libido

How do I know if I need treatment for ED?

Pursuing treatment for ED is a personal choice and highly dependent on each patient's unique goals, symptoms, concerns, and other variables. Generally speaking, it may be appropriate to seek professional help for your ED symptoms if:

• Your ED symptoms are becoming worse or more chronic
• ED is interfering with your relationship
• ED is negatively affecting your overall quality of life and well-being
• Your self-confidence is low due to ED
• Your ED symptoms have not responded to other ED symptom relief strategies, including dietary and lifestyle modifications
