What is the condition known as Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile Dysfunction, which is also known as ED or impotence, is a men’s sexual health condition that deals with a man’s inability to achieve an erection or maintain one while trying to have sex. According to statistics, as many as 50 percent of men over the age of 40 have dealt with ED at one time or another. While ED is not considered a dangerous health condition by itself, it may be correlated with several other more serious health conditions, such as prostate cancer, depression, systemic vascular disease, and others.
Who Typically Suffers from Erectile Dysfunction?
Most commonly, men 40 and older may experience ED rather frequently; however, it can happen (on occasion) at any age. For male arousal to occur properly, many of the body’s systems and components have to work together, including the nervous system, emotions, the brain, and hormones. If even just one of these factors is not operating as it should, it can throw off the entire sexual function, hindering a man from physical arousal. Because there are several elements that comprise successful male sexual arousal, many men will experience a form of ED at one time or another. But when ED becomes a regular occurrence, that is when you should consider seeking evaluation and treatment, if necessary.

In General, What are the Signs and Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction?

How is Erectile Dysfunction Treated and What are the Potential Side Effects?
There are many different treatments for Erectile Dysfunction because there are many different causes – both circumstantial and medical.

What is Low Testosterone?
When a man’s testosterone hormone levels are below the level that is considered “normal,” he can experience multiple medical problems, both sexually and in other areas of life. Low Testosterone (Low-T) can result from other health problems or as a side effect of certain treatments.
Testosterone occurs naturally in most men. It’s highly important for a successful sex life, as well as muscle strength, energy, and more. Reaching acceptable testosterone levels can change a man’s entire life by improving his total health. Low-T treatments could help him improve his energy, stimulate muscle growth, and increase sexual drive. A standard blood test can assess testosterone levels. Note that even men who show “normal” levels can experience the symptoms common to Low-T.
Why Seek Treatment?
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may benefit from a further evaluation:
- Decreased or loss of sex drive
- Losing muscle, sleep, hair, memory
- Waning energy levels
- Gaining weight
- Memory loss
- Depression
- Erectile dysfunction
- Irritable Male Syndrome
At Northeast Men’s Health, our licensed medical professionals can help determine your testosterone levels and the proper treatment options to improve your sex life. Don’t be the one preventing yourself from experiencing a fuller, richer sex life.
What causes Low Testosterone?
Aging is one of the primary causes of lowering testosterone levels. Of course, this is a normal part of a man’s later years, and it may not have any effect on his sexual health or everyday activities. However, in many cases, lower levels may cause a shift in his sexual health and overall life experience. Rather than growing accustomed to living at a lesser level of testosterone, contact our licensed, trained medical professionals and find out if we have a treatment option that’s right for you.
How is Low Testosterone diagnosed?
A medical professional can assess if a man has Low Testosterone from a basic blood test.
How is Low Testosterone treated?
Low-T can be treated using hormone replacement and/or hormone therapy. At Northeast Men’s Health, our experienced medical staff can identify if a patient has Low-T and then provide options for how to move forward with treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
At Northeast Men’s Health, our men’s health professionals regularly manage our patients’ blood levels, and monitor for potential side effects. And, we take necessary action to correct any issues as soon as possible. Potential side effects may include increased risk of prostate issues, changes in red blood cell levels, cholesterol levels, hormone levels, and PSA levels. Other potential side effects include: acne, mood changes, loss of hair, shrinking of the testes, breast growth, worsened sleep apnea, and decreased sperm count. Treatments could also increase the risk of heart attack and death in people with or without heart disease.
What is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature Ejaculation can be a very challenging sexual issue for both the man and his partner. It occurs when the man ejaculates either before or shortly after sexual penetration, even with minimal amounts of stimulation. Unfortunately, untreated Premature Ejaculation can create high levels of stress in a relationship, which can make the problem even worse, and may lead to other relational and sexual issues. Experiencing instances of premature ejaculation on occasion is common for almost all men, and not typically cause for concern. But if the issue recurs regularly, it is important to seek medical counsel and treatment.
What Causes Premature Ejaculation?
There are various factors that can cause Premature Ejaculation. Intense anxiety or stress, hormone imbalances, medicinal side effects, and certain injuries are a few of the potential causes.
How is Premature Ejaculation diagnosed?
In order to receive the best medical counsel possible, it is important to be very open and honest with the medical provider/professional because there are a wide range of causes of Premature Ejaculation, from emotional to hormonal to medicinal. Laboratory tests may be required to identify potential underlying issues that may be causing PE.
Treatments for premature ejaculation?
There are a number of treatment options available for men who suffer from Premature Ejaculation. Potential treatments include medications, supplements, exercise regimens for promoting stamina, and others. Treatments will be based on the individual patient. At Northeast Men’s Health, we work personally with our patients to help them find the best treatment for their situation, so they can begin enjoying a longer-lasting sexual experience with their partners.
What Causes Weight Gain?
Gaining weight is a well-known symptom of aging that many men experience. In fact, more than 1 in 3 men are overweight. Men are often told to simply hit the gym or change their diet to combat the increasing pounds, but those suggestions may not work because it’s not always that simple. Due to many factors, it can be harder to lose weight with age. Unfortunately, this can lead to increased frustration, embarrassment, or giving up on weight loss altogether.
Age, lifestyle changes, and potentially slowing metabolism could be the culprit of the ever increasing pounds. As we age, our metabolism slows, making it increasingly difficult to convert food into energy, and turning that potential energy into fat. We understand this can be incredibly frustrating, and at Northeast Men’s Health, we are committed to providing treatment options to men who seem to have “tried it all.”
What is GLP-1? And how can it help me lose 15% of my body weight?*
Glucagon-like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) is an agonist medication used to aid weight loss. Originally a treatment for Adult-Onset Diabetes (or Type 2 Diabetes), GLP-1 has changed the game when it comes to losing weight. In many cases, patients have experienced an average loss of 15% of their body weight after about 1 year.* This treatment stimulates the natural hormones produced in the intestines that tell your brain that you are full. This will help curb cravings, reduce midnight snacking, and overall help you feel satisfied all while losing weight. With a healthy regimen of diet and exercise, GLP-1 will help burn those stubborn few pounds that never seem to go away.
Why Seek Treatment?
Men with these symptoms could benefit from an evaluation:
- Weight gain
- Trouble losing weight
- Muscle loss
- Loss of energy
Our licensed and trained medical staff can determine whether GLP-1 is the right option for you to regain the body and virility you once had. You can make great strides towards your weight-loss goals and increase your energy and confidence… GLP-1 can likely help.
How is it Treated?
Our trained medical staff will first determine if you are a good fit for GLP-1 by calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI). Once it is determined you are a good fit for GLP-1, the medical professionals at Northeast Men’s Health will develop a customized treatment plan that will help you not only lose weight but regain the vigor you once had.
What are the potential side effects?
At Northeast Men’s Health, we will monitor your progress to help detect and correct any potential side effects early on. Some men may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, heartburn, and burping, which should subside after the first month. We do not recommend taking GLP-1 if you or any of your family have ever had Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) or Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type 2 (MEN2).
Weight Loss
A solution that can truly help you lose 15% or more of your body weight.*
Glucagon-like Peptide (GLP-1) is a once-weekly medication that can help you effectively reduce weight long-term. In many cases, patients have experienced an average loss of 15% of their body weight in a little over a year. The medication works by making you feel fuller, reducing cravings, and assisting your body with processing sugars more efficiently. GLP-1, along with a healthy regimen of diet and exercise, can aid in your weight loss goals, provide an increase in energy, and boost your confidence.
*Based on the average weight loss in three 68-week clinical trials of patients without diabetes who reached and maintained a dose of 2.4 mg/week of GLP-1 treatment, along with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
