Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Options at 1 Health: Regain Confidence and Vitality

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects men of all ages. While occasional erectile difficulties are normal, persistent ED can impact self-esteem, relationships, and overall quality of life. At 1 Health, we provide compassionate, professional care with a range of treatment options tailored to your needs.

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It can result from physical causes such as diabetes, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle factors like stress, alcohol use, and smoking. Psychological factors, including anxiety and depression, may also contribute.

Why Seek Treatment Early?

Addressing ED early can prevent it from worsening and may help detect underlying health issues, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. At 1 Health, we take a holistic approach to treatment, considering both physical and emotional health.

Treatment Options Available at 1 Health

1. Oral Medications

PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra) are commonly prescribed for ED. These medications improve blood flow to the penis, helping achieve and maintain an erection. At 1 Health, we provide personalized assessments to determine the most suitable medication for your condition and lifestyle.

2. Hormonal Therapy

Low testosterone levels can contribute to ED. Hormonal therapy may involve testosterone replacement, administered via gels, patches, or injections, after a thorough assessment including blood tests.

3. Non-Medication Approaches

For some men, lifestyle changes are an effective part of ED treatment. Recommendations may include:

• Weight management and exercise
• Reducing alcohol and quitting smoking
• Stress management techniques
• Psychological counseling if anxiety or depression contributes to ED
