Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual performance. This condition can be embarrassing and difficult to discuss, despite affecting more than three million Americans per year. Experiencing erectile dysfunction for a prolonged period can lead to dissatisfaction in your sex life, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, relationship problems, and the inability to conceive a child.
There’s great news though. In recent years, the number of telemedicine cases of patients suffering from erectile dysfunction has increased significantly. When considering the added confidentiality created by a virtual doctor’s visit, the reason for this increase becomes abundantly clear. Through a virtual doctor’s consultation, erectile dysfunction can be diagnosed and treated by the appropriate healthcare provider, depending on the determined cause. AZOVA ™ provides a simple way for you to discuss your private health concerns, such as erectile dysfunction, with a trusted healthcare provider from the safety and privacy of your home.
Causes and Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction
Male sexual arousal is a complex physical and psychological process involving muscles, blood vessels, nerves, hormones, emotions, and the brain. The cause for erectile dysfunction can result from complications with one or more of these functions. Physical afflictions such as diabetes, heart disease, tobacco use, and more can cause ED. Likewise, psychological conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems could be the problem. In some instances, a combination of physical and psychological complications plays a role in erectile dysfunction. The resulting anxiety and frustration from experiencing ED can then worsen the condition.
Symptoms of erectile dysfunction might include persistent:
- Difficulty achieving an erection
- Difficulty maintaining an erection
- Soft erection
- Decreased sex drive
- Sexual performance anxiety
It’s time to schedule a virtual appointment if you’ve been experiencing one or more of these symptoms for a prolonged period or you have a condition linked to erectile dysfunction, such as diabetes or heart disease.
Virtual Testing and Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
Due to the array of potential causes for erectile dysfunction, it’s important to complete comprehensive testing and diagnosis with an online doctor to determine the best course of action. Your doctor will then direct you to the appropriate healthcare professional for treatment based on the results. Many tests and treatments can be performed through virtual consultation without in-person treatment; however, an in-person visit may become necessary based on the circumstances.
During a virtual appointment, your doctor’s first priority will be to ensure you’ve received proper treatment for any health conditions linked to erectile dysfunction. Oftentimes, treating these underlying conditions is sufficient to reverse impotence. In other cases, a medical history questionnaire is adequate to diagnose ED and prescribe the correct treatment. If further testing is needed, the doctor will advise you during your appointment. Additional testing may include physical examination, blood sampling, urinalysis, ultrasound, and psychological analysis. Based on the results, your doctor will be able to present several treatments.
Depending on the severity of the condition, your online doctor might recommend some simple lifestyle modifications such as increased exercise. For many men, oral medication, such as PDE-5 inhibitors sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), tadalafil (Cialis), and avanafil (Stendra), will successfully treat erectile dysfunction. If medications aren’t effective or appropriate, your doctor might recommend physical apparatuses, such as a penis pump. In more severe circumstances, your doctor may suggest an evaluation for more involved procedures such as testosterone replacement or penile surgery. Alternatively, if the cause for erectile dysfunction is deemed psychological, an appropriate healthcare professional will perform a psychological evaluation to determine possible therapeutic solutions.
