Medical Treatments of Erectile Dysfunction
In addition lifestyle or psychosocial changes, the doctor may discuss
medical treatment options. A blood test may discover a testosterone
deficiency, and therefore testosterone replacement therapy may be a good
choice. Testosterone deficiency is infrequently the only cause of ED,
but it may contribute to ED in as many as 34% of affected individuals.
If the doctor finds low testosterone along with other factors such as
low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction,
fatigue, muscle weakness, obesity, or an unstable mood, the doctor may
prescribe testosterone replacement therapy. Testosterone therapy is not
recommended for men with female partners trying to conceive, as sperm
counts may be affected.
