Erectile Dysfunction: What Every Man Should Know

---

At UpCore, we believe sexual health is a vital part of overall wellness. Erectile dysfunction (ED) isn’t just about performance—it’s about quality of life, relationships, and self-esteem. Whether symptoms are new or ongoing, we’re here to help you understand your options and take action.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It can happen occasionally or persistently, and while it becomes more common with age, it’s not an inevitable part of aging.

Common Causes

ED can result from a variety of physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors, including:

• Reduced blood flow due to cardiovascular issues
• Low testosterone levels
• Diabetes or high blood pressure
• Stress, anxiety, or depression
• Medication side effects
• Smoking, alcohol, or substance use

Often, ED is a symptom of an underlying health issue—and treating it can improve more than just sexual function.

Symptoms to Watch For

• Difficulty getting or keeping an erection
• Erections that are too soft or short-lasting
• Reduced sexual desire
• Anxiety or frustration around intimacy

If you’re experiencing any of these, a confidential evaluation can help pinpoint the cause and guide treatment.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

At UpCore, we take a comprehensive, judgment-free approach to ED. Your evaluation may include:

• Medical and sexual history review
• Lab testing (including hormone panels)
• Cardiovascular and metabolic screening
• Lifestyle and medication assessment

We tailor every treatment plan to your unique health profile and goals.

Treatment Options

ED is highly treatable—and you have options:

• Oral medications (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil)
• Testosterone therapy (if clinically indicated)
• Lifestyle changes to improve circulation and hormone balance
• Supplements and nutraceuticals
• Stress and sleep management strategies

Why Addressing ED Matters

Beyond intimacy, ED can signal broader health concerns. Treating it early can improve:

• Heart health
• Mental well-being
• Relationship satisfaction
• Overall vitality

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle.
