Erectile Dysfunction

Dr Afolayan understands the sensitive nature of erectile dysfunction (ED) and is committed to being compassionate and confidential in helping you regain your sexual health and confidence.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse.

It is a common condition that can affect men of all ages but is more prevalent in older men. While ED can be a challenging issue, it is also highly treatable.

Why Do Men Experience Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction can have many causes, ranging from physical factors like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and low testosterone to psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

Lifestyle choices and certain medications can also contribute to ED. Understanding the underlying cause is key to effective treatment.

How Is Erectile Dysfunction Diagnosed?

Diagnosis starts with a discussion about your medical history and a physical examination.

Dr Afolayan may also conduct blood tests to check for underlying health issues like diabetes or hormone imbalances and possibly recommend further specialised tests. These steps help determine the most effective treatment path.

What Are the Treatment Options?

Treatment for erectile dysfunction varies depending on the underlying cause and can include lifestyle changes, oral medications (such as Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra), direct injections into the penis, vacuum erection devices, and even surgical options.

Psychological counselling is recommended if emotional or psychological factors are influencing your ED.

Can Lifestyle Modifications Improve Erectile Dysfunction?

Absolutely. For many men, changes in lifestyle, such as exercising regularly, losing excess weight, stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and managing stress, can significantly improve erectile function.
