ED – Erectile Dysfunction

Many times men may experience moments where they encounter problems with their sexual performance. This experience may make men feel uncomfortable with speaking with their doctor about this. However, this could be a sign from your body that an underlying cause may be causing erectile dysfunction. Organic causes are usually the result of an underlying medical condition affecting the blood vessels or nerves supplying the penis. Erectile Dysfunction could be an indication of high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, sleep disorders, heart disease, or hormone issues.Erectile dysfunction often referred to as (ED) refers to the inability to achieve and/or sustain an erection that is hard enough to have sex.  It’s not a normal part of aging, but it is extremely common because it is often a side effect of common medical problems that occur with aging. Fortunately, there are safe and effective treatments that we can offer to you.

Hard Series: Join the fight to solve Erectile Dysfunction

In this five-part, short documentary series, Dr. Samantha Nealon, an early career urologist, examines the connections Prosthetic Urologists form with their Erectile Dysfunction (ED) patients through successful treatment of ED.

Through candid interviews with patients and physicians, she explores the physical and emotional impact of ED. You will gain valuable insight into the hope that comes with current advanced therapies that can restore men to sexual health.

The first time they locked eyes, Cliff and Marilyn knew they were soulmates. They’ve been inseparable ever since, sharing their most personal joys and struggles.

Bullock, Alan A. and Edith L. Wolff Distinguished Professor in Urology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Opening the couple’s eyes to an effective therapy option, he gave them hope of restoring Cliff’s erectile function — and the vital intimacy they’d lost. Join Cliff, Marilyn, and Dr. Bullock as they share their inspiring story, and our nationwide quest to shed light on ED begins.

Episode 5: Desperate for a Cure

Career, home, partner — ED doesn’t often make the list of things men worry about in their thirties. But Richard had been suffering secretly and trying therapies for years. He was desperate for a cure when he finally opened up to his wife, Maria. Everything changed when the couple connected with Dr. Jonathan Clavell and learned about IPP therapy.
