Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects more than just physical performance—it impacts intimacy, self-esteem, emotional connection, and the health of your relationship. Many couples suffer in silence, not realizing that ED is often reversible and almost always manageable—especially when the root causes are identified and addressed through integrative care.
At Patients Medical in NYC, we don’t just treat ED—we help heal the individual and the couple, using a personalized blend of functional medicine, emotional wellness strategies, and natural therapies.
ED is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It may be occasional—or ongoing—and it’s more common than most people realize, affecting over 30 million men in the U.S.
But behind the scenes of a physical symptom often lies a complex interplay of biological, psychological, hormonal, and relationship-based factors.
Functional medicine looks deeper than surface symptoms. Here’s what we often find as root causes of ED—many of which impact emotional and sexual connection as well:
ED can cause frustration, guilt, shame, fear of rejection, and avoidance of intimacy. Over time, this can damage trust, increase distance, and even lead to relationship breakdowns.
But ED can also become a pathway to deeper communication and healing—if approached with compassion, curiosity, and the right support.
To identify the root causes, we use advanced integrative lab testing, including:
We use bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) when needed to optimize testosterone and reduce estrogen dominance, improving libido, stamina, and energy.
A nutrient-rich, circulation-friendly diet can reverse ED over time. Plans may include:
Our evidence-based nutraceuticals include:
All supplements are physician-monitored for safe use.
We often recommend couples counseling or sex therapy alongside medical treatment. Topics explored may include:
Because chronic stress and over-activated fight-or-flight responses contribute to ED, we support patients with:
Somatic therapy and trauma release techniques
