Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. It is a common condition and may occur due to physical, psychological or a combination of factors.
Dr. Jaspreet Singh Chhabra provides confidential evaluation and individualized treatment for men experiencing erectile dysfunction and related sexual health concerns.
An occasional difficulty achieving an erection can happen to many men and does not necessarily indicate erectile dysfunction. However, when erection difficulties occur repeatedly, they may require medical evaluation.
Erectile dysfunction can sometimes be associated with underlying health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure or hormonal problems.
Erectile dysfunction may have several possible causes, including:
A detailed medical and sexual history is an important part of evaluating erectile dysfunction. Your doctor may also perform a physical examination and recommend investigations depending on your symptoms and medical history.
Blood tests may be recommended to assess conditions such as diabetes, cholesterol abnormalities or hormonal problems when appropriate.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and the patient's overall health. Depending on the individual situation, treatment may include:
Erectile dysfunction is not only a sexual health concern. In some men, it can be associated with underlying cardiovascular, metabolic or hormonal conditions.
A proper evaluation can help identify contributing factors and guide appropriate treatment rather than relying on unverified medicines or supplements.
If erection difficulties are persistent, recurrent or affecting your confidence or relationship, consult a urologist for a confidential evaluation.
