Erectile Dysfunction – When to see a Doctor

Transcript

I always like to tell patients that it’s important to see a doctor when erectile dysfunction is bothering you. And ideally, you do it earlier rather than later. Because as I talked about earlier, ED could be the first sign of poor overall health. And the earlier you treat it, the earlier you address it, and the earlier you figure out what’s causing it, ultimately you’ll have better erections and better overall health. So the earlier you see a doctor and get worked up or they work you up, check your hormone levels, check whether or not you have diabetes, check your vitals, see whether or not you have high blood pressure, check your lipid levels, those types of things. By looking at those and seeing whether or not that’s the cause of the erectile dysfunction, it could ultimately lead to improved overall health.
