Men's Sexual Health
Erectile dysfunction, low libido and performance problems are common, and they often have a cause that can be found: low testosterone, blood flow, medication, alcohol, anxiety or a mix of these. Treatment depends on the cause.
At NRG Clinic, a provider reviews your symptoms, health history and labs before recommending anything. Sexual health is often tied to hormones, so a hormone panel is usually the first step. Treatment, if your provider determines it is right for you, may include hormone therapy or medications for erectile dysfunction.
The guides below cover the causes of erectile dysfunction, how testosterone affects sex drive, what lab tests show, and why gas station pills are a bad idea.
