Organic causes of erectile dysfunction occurs when there is an underlying physical cause that prevents proper nerve function, blood flow, or hormonal levels necessary for an erection. Common causes include vascular diseases or atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which restricts blood flow to the penis, impairing one’s ability to achieve or maintain an erection. It can also be caused by certain medications, radiation therapy, or even past surgeries. Neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injuries, can also be related to ED.
Through comprehensive evaluations, including medical history reviews and diagnostic tests, our doctors can identify the underlying causes of your ED. Treatment options may include medication, lifestyle adjustments, or devices. Our doctors can also refer you to a local specialist for further treatment when indicated.
