Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects millions of men worldwide, and it’s often seen as a normal part of aging. However, at Patients Medical in New York City, we recognize that ED is a sign of underlying health issues that need to be addressed. Through a combination of conventional and holistic medicine, we treat ED at its source—whether it be physical, emotional, or lifestyle-related—allowing for a more permanent solution.
We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of ED.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It can be caused by both physical and psychological factors, including poor blood flow, hormone imbalances, stress, and underlying medical conditions.
There are several causes of ED:
Understanding the root cause of erectile dysfunction is key to treating it effectively.
Functional medicine aims to uncover the “why” behind erectile dysfunction. Common root causes include:
By addressing these underlying factors, we help restore sexual function and overall well-being.
At Patients Medical, we use advanced diagnostic tests to understand what’s driving your erectile dysfunction. These tests help us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your health needs:
We use bioidentical hormones to balance testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol levels, improving sexual function and libido.
We offer medically supervised weight loss programs, exercise plans, and physical therapy to improve circulation and overall sexual health.
John, 49, came to us with symptoms of erectile dysfunction that were affecting his relationship and self-esteem. He had been struggling with low energy, poor circulation, and increased stress at work. After diagnostic testing, we discovered low testosterone levels, high cortisol, and poor blood circulation.
We customized a 3-month integrative plan for John, which included:
Three months later, John reported significant improvements in sexual function, energy levels, and overall mood. His relationship improved, and he felt more confident in his sexual health.
Yes, many cases of erectile dysfunction can be reversed or significantly improved with natural therapies. Addressing underlying causes such as hormonal imbalances, poor circulation, stress, and lifestyle factors can lead to long-lasting results without relying solely on medications.
Some patients may need medication for ED, but many others find relief through integrative treatments, such as hormone balancing, stress management, improved circulation, and dietary changes. Medications like Viagra or Cialis are often used as temporary solutions, but addressing the root causes is crucial for long-term improvement.
Results vary depending on the severity of the condition and the root causes. Many patients begin to see improvements within 3-6 months, but the timeline can be shorter or longer based on individual circumstances and treatment compliance.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle can have a significant impact on ED. Key changes include regular physical activity, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, reducing alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, managing stress, and getting adequate sleep.
ED can be caused by a combination of physical and psychological factors, including poor blood flow, hormonal imbalances (e.g., low testosterone), stress, anxiety, depression, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and certain medications.
Yes, we conduct comprehensive hormone testing, including testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol levels, to determine if hormone imbalances are contributing to erectile dysfunction. Correcting these imbalances through natural treatments often helps restore sexual health.
Acupuncture can help improve blood circulation to the pelvic region, reduce stress, and restore balance to the body’s energy flow. It has been shown to be effective in improving erectile function, especially when combined with other natural therapies.
Yes, several natural supplements can support erectile function. These include L-arginine (which improves blood flow), ginseng (which boosts libido and energy), maca root (which improves sexual function), and zinc (essential for testosterone production).
Yes, erectile dysfunction can often be an early warning sign of other health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. It’s important to undergo a comprehensive evaluation to rule out underlying health issues and address the root causes of ED.
While we are an out-of-network provider, we provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Some lab tests and services may also be partially covered by insurance.
