What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction, or E.D., is a condition affecting a man’s ability to achieve and sustain an erection during sexual intercourse. E.D. is common, affecting as many as 1/2 of all men aged 40 and older. Though the condition itself is not considered dangerous, E.D. is associated with systematic vascular disease, heart conditions, renal failure, prostate cancer, depression, and other more serious conditions. Thus, experts generally recommend that men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction consult with a medical professional for treatment.

Who suffers from Erectile Dysfunction?

Though the rate of men experiencing Erectile Dysfunction increases with age, Erectile Dysfunction can affect men of every age. Like your favorite muscle car, male arousal depends on many systems operating together: the brain, nervous system, cardiovascular system, hormones, and even emotions all play a role in stimulating and exciting men in sexual situations. This means there are many contributing factors and causes of Erectile Dysfunction, which means the condition can and often does affect every man at one time or another.

What are the signs and symptoms that accompany Erectile Dysfunction? The primary signs and symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction are:

•Trouble getting an erection.

•Trouble maintaining an erection.

•Lack of or reduced sexual desire.

Because these symptoms can be caused by a range of circumstances, from the basic (too much wine at a party) to the complex (heart disease or systematic vascular disease), it is generally recommended that any man experiencing recurrent Erectile Dysfunction seek the advice of a qualified medical professional.

How is Erectile Dysfunction Treated?

Due to the range of conditions and circumstances that cause Erectile Dysfunction, there are also a range of treatment options. Some treatments are simple and direct, including medications or stress relief; others require more serious conditions to be managed as part of a more comprehensive health plan administered by a general practitioner.

At the Carolina Men’s Clinic, we work to identify the most comfortable, immediate sources of relief for Erectile Dysfunction while also coordinating care when a more comprehensive health plan is needed or in action.

What Is Low T?

The facts are clear. Men in the 21st century are suffering from low testosterone (Low T) in record numbers. More men suffer from low t than men who suffer from erectile dysfunction. Low T is a condition where your levels fall below the recommended range. The range is very broad, the high end being 1100, the low end 347. The recommended range for a mans’ T levels is between 700 to 900.

While many men have T levels above 347, they still are candidates for supervised T treatment plans.

Men who have below average T levels may experience the following:

Loss of Libido (sex drive)

Fatigue and decreased energy levels

Muscle Loss

Weight Gain

Erectile Dysfunction

Memory Loss

Depression

Sleep apnea

Hair Loss

Irritable Male Syndrome

The good news is, with the correct Physician supervised program, men of all ages can experience dramatic improvements in their T levels. The result is a more active, robust lifestyle without side effects.

Medications

Many times the medications prescribed to treat the trauma or injury will accelerate the reduction of testosterone in men.

Second, many of the medications men take for High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Acid Reflux, will contribute to the reduction of testosterone levels. While these medications should not be stopped, supplementing the correct testosterone treatment plan can improve T levels dramatically.

Treatment Options

There are many different types of treatment for Low T. As a patient it’s hard to know which is right for you and will give you the best results. Unfortunately many patients test many different forms of treatment without understanding the pros and cons of each.

Oral – Most oral medications to increase testosterone are a waste of time and money. Tests have shown less than 1% of the testosterone is used and absorbed by the body. While vastly popular as an over the counter solution, this form of treatment will not yield the desired results for 99% of the patients.

Under Arm – Like a roll on deodorant. A widely prescribed solution and used by many physicians. You apply it yourself daily or as prescribed. However, it is proven to be the second least effective method of increasing testosterone in a patient.

Injections – The most common form of testosterone treatment. The patient is given injections, ranging between every 1 to 3 weeks. These injections are done either by the patient or in the physicians office.

Widely prescribed, patients see very different results. Many patients experience ‘peaks and valley’ syndrome with testosterone. This is where the mans’ T level will vary widely based on the cycle of the T shots. Many men will feel worse than before starting treatment.

Another downside to this treatment is over 90% of the testosterone is wasted and not used by the body. Leads to higher incidences of heart attack, stroke and other medical issues such as blood clotting.

Pellets – A device is implanted into the patient usually in the buttock. Can be very expensive. Needs to be refilled every 90 days via in office surgical procedure. The same amount is dripped into the blood stream. A large portion of the testosterone is wasted and not used by the body.

Cream – Considered to be the most effective testosterone treatment available. Applied daily in the groin area. With the right program and design up to 90% of the testosterone is absorbed into the body. Many experienced physicians consider this the best program for many men and the least likely to develop blood clotting.

The Secret ‘Sauce’ To Effective Testosterone Replacement

Over 90% of testosterone treatment is wasted, unless you use the secret medication called DHEA. This allows the cells to become sticky and receive the testosterone into the cell. It is applied daily in a cream format, this content is safe, effective and absorbs 90% of the testosterone.

At the Elevate Men’s Clinic, we use the Wiley Protocol that uses a cream based testosterone therapy and DHEA. Our patients have experienced tremendous results on Wiley vs. other programs.

Are Testosterone Treatment Dangerous?

The American Medical Association has not documented one case of heart attack or stroke attributed to testosterone treatment. There are more cases of heart attack and stroke attributed to Low Testosterone.

The safest form of treatment for a patient with Low T is to use a cream based treatment plan under the direct guidance and care of a physician.

Any Low T treatment plan should be accompanied by regular blood testing to insure safe levels of testosterone and to check for blood clotting.
