Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. It is one of the most common sexual health concerns among men, affecting tens of millions of men in the United States alone — and it becomes more prevalent with age.
At LifeRestoreMD, Dr. Behling takes a comprehensive, root-cause approach to erectile dysfunction. Rather than simply prescribing a pill and sending you on your way, he evaluates the full picture — hormonal levels, vascular health, lifestyle factors, and psychological contributors — to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
Common Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
- ›Vascular disease (blood vessel disease)
- ›Diabetes
- ›Neurological disorders (nerve damage)
- ›Hormonal imbalances (Low Testosterone)
- ›Psychological factors (stress, anxiety, depression)
- ›Medications (antidepressants, blood pressure drugs)
- ›Lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, obesity)
The Testosterone Connection
Low testosterone is one of the most frequently overlooked causes of erectile dysfunction. Men with Low T will often face progressive ED. On a scale of 1–10, with one equal to a floppy dishrag and ten as hard as a rock, men with ED symptoms from Low T will typically report functioning at a 6–7. Replacement to normal testosterone levels results in the return of a guaranteed 9–10/10 erection every time. All patients will report the return of their morning erection after eight weeks (or less for most) of TRT normalization.
Treatment Options at LifeRestoreMD
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
When low testosterone is the root cause of ED, restoring testosterone to optimal physiologic levels often resolves erectile dysfunction entirely — without the need for additional medications.
Oral Medications
FDA-approved PDE5 inhibitors (such as sildenafil and tadalafil) are highly effective for most men and are prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Combination Therapy
For men with multiple contributing factors, Dr. Behling may combine hormonal optimization with other treatments to achieve the best possible outcome.
All treatments are medically supervised with regular laboratory and physical examinations to ensure safety and effectiveness. Your privacy is our top priority — no information is ever shared without your express authorization.
