Erectile Dysfunction Causes

Erectile dysfunction causes will be analyzed with a checkup by Dr. Gheiler. Initially your complete medical history, a list of any medications that you are taking and a description of your problem will be given. Next Dr. Gheiler will give a brief physical exam along with some other tests which may include a blood sample and ultrasound Doppler exam. Depending on the extent of and cause of your erectile dysfunction which Dr. Gheiler will then describe, you will decide what solution you would like to use to overcome the erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction causes are analyzed with an ultrasound Doppler exam which measures the blood flow in the penis giving Dr. Gheiler an accurate assessment of your ability to receive and maintain blood in the penis for an erection. This ultrasound Doppler helps Dr. Gheiler determine vasculogenic impotence which is a determining factor for having the 20 minute penis surgery for a penile prosthesis. Other information such as high blood pressure, heart disease and peripheral vascular disease also contribute to impotence causes. Addressing these specific medical conditions and correcting them may help stop your erectile dysfunction. Knowing the extent of your high blood pressure, heart disease and peripheral vascular disease problems and the medications that you are taking also help determine the likelihood of erectile dysfunction medications working for you. This information will also show if you should not take erectile dysfunction medications because they may cause a dangerous sudden drop in blood pressure.

Penis blood pressure is compared to blood pressure in other parts of the body to determine if sufficient blood flow is available for the penis to become erect and maintain an erection. This series of blood pressure tests can take 15 minutes. The ultrasound color flow imaging shows the location and size of the different arteries and veins of the penis. Dr. Gheiler may give some medication that causes the blood flow to increase which will indicate whether appropriate erectile dysfunction medication could be used. It will also be one of the factors in whether or not to use an erection vacuum pump and tension ring, or having the 20 minute penis surgery to insert a penis implant.
