Our Treatment
Ensuring effective and safe management to restore sexual health and overall well-being.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition where a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity. While occasional difficulty may occur due to stress or fatigue, persistent erectile problems often indicate underlying medical, hormonal, vascular, or psychological causes that require evaluation.
At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, BTM Layout, erectile dysfunction is managed through a confidential, structured, urology-led approach, focused on identifying the root cause first and then selecting the safest and most effective treatment.
| Aspect | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Definition | Persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection |
| Nature | Medical condition, not a normal part of ageing |
| Age group | Can affect men of all ages |
| Contributing role | Physical, hormonal, psychological, or lifestyle-related factors |
| Key principle | Cause identification before treatment |
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Vascular causes | Reduced blood flow to penis, heart disease, hypertension |
| Nerve-related | Diabetes-related neuropathy, spinal or nerve conditions |
| Hormonal factors | Low testosterone or hormonal imbalance |
| Psychological | Stress, anxiety, depression, performance anxiety |
| Lifestyle | Smoking, alcohol use, obesity, lack of exercise |
| Medication | Blood pressure drugs, antidepressants, other chronic medicines |
| Symptom | What It May Indicate |
|---|---|
| Difficulty getting an erection | Reduced blood flow or nerve response |
| Difficulty maintaining erection | Vascular or psychological factors |
| Reduced sexual desire | Hormonal imbalance or emotional stress |
| Sudden onset ED | Stress, anxiety, or medication-related |
| Gradual worsening ED | Diabetes, heart disease, chronic conditions |
Persistent symptoms should always be evaluated by a urologist.
| Situation | Why Evaluation Is Important |
|---|---|
| ED lasting several weeks | May indicate underlying disease |
| Affecting confidence or relationships | Impacts mental and emotional health |
| ED with diabetes or heart disease | Higher vascular risk |
| ED with urinary symptoms | Possible prostate or bladder involvement |
| Gradually worsening erections | Suggests progressive medical condition |
Early evaluation helps identify reversible causes and prevents progression.
| Evaluation Step | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Detailed medical history | Identify lifestyle, stress, and medical risks |
| Physical examination | Assess genital, vascular, and hormonal signs |
| Blood tests | Check sugar levels, hormones, cholesterol |
| Hormonal evaluation | Detect testosterone imbalance |
| Targeted tests | Based on individual clinical findings |
Diagnosis focuses on finding the root cause, not just symptom control.
Treatment is individualised based on cause, severity, and overall health.
| Situation | What It Indicates | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Mild or intermittent ED | Stress or lifestyle-related | Lifestyle changes + monitoring |
| ED with chronic disease | Systemic medical cause | Medication after proper evaluation |
| Hormonal imbalance | Low testosterone | Hormonal assessment and correction |
| Medication-related ED | Drug side effects | Review and treatment adjustment |
| Psychological factors | Anxiety or emotional stress | Counselling and supportive care |
Many men improve with non-invasive and conservative treatment.
| Therapy / Option | Used When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Oral ED medications | Most ED causes | Improve blood flow to penis |
| Injection therapy | Oral medication not effective | Directly induces erection |
| Vacuum erection device | Selected cases | Mechanical support for erection |
| Surgical options | Severe or refractory ED | Restores erectile function when suitable |
Treatment choice is discussed confidentially and individually.
| Consideration | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Onset and duration | Sudden vs gradual causes |
| Diabetes / heart disease | Indicates vascular involvement |
| Hormonal status | Guides need for hormone therapy |
| Psychological factors | Avoids unnecessary medication |
| Response to initial treatment | Helps step-up care safely |
This ensures effective treatment without overtreatment.
| Preventive Measure | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Healthy diet & exercise | Improves blood circulation |
