What is erectile dysfunction?
- The erectile dysfunction is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection that allows satisfactory sexual intercourse. It can come on gradually or suddenly, and always carries with it a significant emotional impact. In our experience, many men arrive convinced that the cause is "psychological", but in reality, a significant proportion has an organic cause, i.e. a physical problem that can be identified and treated with a rigorous clinical approach.
Common causes of erectile dysfunction
The most common factors include:
- Psychological factors: performance anxiety, chronic stress, relationship problems.
- Vascular disorders: diseases that hinder adequate blood flow, such as hypertension or atherosclerosis.
- Hormonal imbalances: such as hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency), hyperprolactinemia, or thyroid disorders.
- Neurological disorders.
- Altered metabolism: such as type 2 diabetes, which damages nerves and vessels, or high cholesterol, which alters vascular elasticity.
💡 At GUA we use this consultation as an opportunity to diagnose underlying issues that affect your overall health.
How do we assess erectile dysfunction in GUA?
Our studies include:
- Complete hormonal analyses, including total and free testosterone, prolactin, FSH, LH and thyroid profile.
- Vascular evaluations (Echo Doppler): which allows us to visualize blood flow and detect possible obstructions or venous insufficiency.
- Thorough physical examination of the penis, which is often overlooked, but may reveal structural pathologies such as fibrous plaques, non-physiological curvatures or asymmetries.
- Assessment of the condition of the pelvic floor, whose dysfunction can affect rigidity and maintenance of erection.
We don't just prescribe drugs. We explore what others often overlook by performing erectile function studies and hormone analysis, but above all, we assess the physical condition of the penis, which is key to understanding the real cause.
What can an erection reveal about your cardiovascular health?
Erection is closely linked to vascular health. So when it fails, it can be an early sign that something is wrong with the circulatory system. In fact, recent studies and the European Urology Guidelines warn that even young men with no history of erectile dysfunction may have an elevated cardiovascular risk. At GUA, we assess all these aspects from the first consultation, not only to treat the symptom, but to understand its origin.
❤️ Early consultation not only allows you to recover your sex life, but also to detect in time possible cardiac problems that are still silent.
The importance of a specialized physical examination
Many clinics omit this step, but in GUA it is essential. Physical examination of the penis and pelvic area may reveal:
Fibrosis of corpora cavernosa, which prevents adequate filling during erection.
Signs of Peyronie's disease, such as plaques or curvatures that may cause pain or make penetration difficult.
Changes in sensitivity or muscle tone, which are associated with pelvic floor dysfunction.
🩺 These findings make it possible to choose more effective treatments and avoid inappropriate therapies that do not attack the real cause of the problem.
