Erectile Dysfunction – Fastest Solutions, Root Causes & Integrative Treatment

Introduction: Why Erectile Dysfunction Needs a New Approach

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects over 30 million men in the U.S.—but it’s often just a symptom of deeper health issues. At Patients Medical in New York City, we don’t just prescribe pills. We uncover the root causes of ED using a functional and holistic lens, so you can restore your performance, energy, and confidence—naturally and effectively.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It may occur occasionally or become a persistent issue—impacting not only intimacy but overall wellbeing.

ED is not simply a “bedroom issue.” It can signal cardiovascular, hormonal, or metabolic imbalances that need medical attention.

Common Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

Men may experience ED differently, but here are some signs to watch for:

Root Causes: Why Did You Develop Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction can stem from physical, emotional, or lifestyle factors—often in combination. Here are the most common root causes we see in clinic:

  • Low testosterone or hormone imbalance
  • Poor blood flow or cardiovascular disease
  • Stress, anxiety, or depression
  • Metabolic issues (like diabetes or insulin resistance)
  • Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
  • Chronic inflammation or leaky gut
  • Medication side effects (SSRIs, blood pressure meds)
  • Toxin exposure or heavy metal accumulation
  • Nutrient deficiencies (zinc, B12, magnesium)

Diagnostic Testing We Use

We use comprehensive diagnostic labs to evaluate what’s blocking your sexual function:

Total and free testosterone levels

DHEA, estradiol, and cortisol panels

Cardiovascular and vascular health markers

Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine)

Stool microbiome and leaky gut testing

Nutrient and mineral status (magnesium, zinc, B12)

Heavy metal and toxin exposure

Metabolic and blood sugar labs

  • Bioidentical hormone therapy (testosterone, DHEA)

  • Elimination of sugar, trans fats, and processed foods

Herbal & Nutraceuticals

We use clinically supported ED supplements such as:

We discovered:

  • Low testosterone (total and free)
  • Elevated CRP (inflammation)
  • Borderline insulin resistance
  • High stress and poor sleep

We created a tailored 3-month protocol:

  • Bioidentical testosterone therapy
