If you’re new to seeking help for erectile dysfunction (ED), you might feel unsure about where to start. The good news is you don’t have to navigate it alone! Many men experience ED, and there are effective, medically backed treatments available right here in Macon.
At Alternate Approach Med Clinic, we specialize in guiding men through their treatment journey—from identifying the cause to creating a custom plan for long-term success. Here’s your beginner’s guide to understanding ED and how treatment works.
Understanding the Causes of ED
ED can result from a variety of physical or psychological factors, and understanding the cause is key to finding the right treatment.
Common Causes of ED:
✔ Poor Blood Flow: Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease can restrict circulation, making it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection.
✔ Low Testosterone: Hormonal imbalances can reduce libido and affect sexual performance.
✔ Nerve Damage: Issues like prostate surgery, diabetes, or neurological disorders can interfere with nerve signals.
✔ Mental Health Factors: Anxiety, stress, and depression can impact libido and performance.
✔ Lifestyle Habits: Smoking, excessive alcohol use, obesity, and inactivity can all contribute to ED.
By identifying these factors, you and your doctor can work together to develop an effective plan.
