In the evaluation of physical causes of ED, the health care provider is assessing for conditions that may affect the nerves, arteries, veins, and functional anatomy of the penis (for example, the tunica albuginea, the tissue surround the corpora). In determining a physical (or organic) cause, your health care provider will first rule out certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart and vascular disease, low male hormone level, prostate cancer, and diabetes, which are associated with erectile dysfunction. Medical/surgical treatment of these conditions may also cause ED. In addition to these health conditions, certain systemic digestive (gastrointestinal) and respiratory diseases are known to result in erectile dysfunction:
A person with an erectile dysfunction will see improvement after making changes to lifestyle. This will reduce the need for medication and will benefit the person in their overall health.
Most people ignore these issues as they think that there is no way that they can treat their sexual problems. And going for any surgery and operation is not an option for them.
Erectile dysfunction is when you’re unable to get and maintain an erection. If you have trouble with ED every once in a while, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if it happens frequently, it could be a sign of other health problems.

While the ED experience might feel overwhelming, know that there are medically backed treatment options available for erectile dysfunction.

If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction and would like to meet with a U of U Health urologist, call 801-213-2700 to schedule an appointment. You do not need a referral from your primary care provider to see our urologists for treatment because shockwave therapy is not covered by insurance.
A clear, plastic tube that slides over the penisA manual or battery-operated pump that sucks air out of the cylinder, sending more blood to the penisAn elastic ring that is placed around the base of the penis after an erection is obtained. It’s like a rubber band. It helps maintain firmness by preventing blood from draining out of the penis. If you have venous leak syndrome, this may help you.
When there is angina or heart failure, the doctor may need to determine whether the heart has enough reserve to carry out the work necessary for sexual activity by performing cardiac treadmill stress testing. What precautions should patients take when using vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn)?
