Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often marketed as a quick-fix problem with a simple solution. But before you turn to a TV or online ad for a “quick fix,” remember: those ads rarely tell the truth about what’s really going on, or what it truly costs. Without the right diagnosis and management, these “medications” just mask the problem.
The truth is, ED can be an early signal that something deeper is going on, especially with your cardiovascular or hormonal health. Dr. Corey Howard helps men navigate concerns like erectile dysfunction at his practice, Howard Health & Wellness. He is a board-certified physician in both internal and functional medicine, with advanced training in metabolic and hormonal concerns. Dr. Howard looks beyond symptoms to uncover what’s really driving your health concerns.
ED Is a Symptom, Not the Whole Story
Yes, ED affects performance. But more importantly, it can point to issues like vascular disease, hormone imbalance, or lifestyle factors that aren’t being addressed.
Most medications for ED are inexpensive and widely available, but using them without understanding the root cause is like putting a bandage on a warning light. If testosterone is low, if sleep is poor, or if inflammation or stress are working against you, medications alone won’t fix the problem.
What to Expect from a Real Evaluation
In order to understand why ED is happening, you need a real evaluation that goes much deeper than a prescription pad. Dr. Howard takes a comprehensive approach to uncover the true drivers of your symptoms.
Your evaluation may include:
- A full cardiovascular workup: ED may be the first sign of underlying vascular disease.
- Advanced hormone testing: Testosterone naturally declines with age, but low levels can lead to lower desire, weaker erections, fatigue, and mood changes.
- A personalized plan: At Howard Health & Wellness, we build individualized treatment strategies that may include testosterone therapy, nutrition, stress management, and targeted supplements.
Don’t Settle for a One-Size-Fits-All Fix
ED doesn’t have a single cause, which means there shouldn’t be a single solution. Dr. Howard partners with men to restore energy, vitality, and long-term health through comprehensive, evidence-based care.
