Erection Optimisation: a medical and holistic approach
Erection problems can significantly impact both physical and mental health. Many men experience a decline in erection quality as they age, leading to feelings of insecurity, stress, and even relationship issues. At IKARIA Clinics, we recognise that these concerns stem not only from physical causes but also from lifestyle, hormonal imbalances, and mental factors.
To address these issues, we employ a medical and holistic approach beyond merely relieving symptoms. Our goal is to help men improve their sexual health through a personalised treatment program, which may include the following:
Thorough medical examination & diagnostics
To accurately identify the cause of erection problems, we begin with a comprehensive blood test. We examine various factors, including:
Testosterone levels | Low testosterone can contribute to erection issues
Oestradiol and SHBG | Ensuring a balance between hormones is crucial
Cardiovascular health | High blood pressure or poor circulation may play a role
Sugar and cholesterol levels | Diabetes and metabolic syndrome can lead to erectile dysfunction
Additionally, we conduct an in-depth intake interview to discuss any psychological factors and medication use, as certain medications (like antidepressants or blood pressure medications) can also affect erectile function.
Lifestyle advice: A lasting solution
Besides medical interventions, we look at lifestyle factors that may affect erectile quality. This includes:
Nutritional advice | A healthy diet can improve blood circulation
Exercise | Regular physical activity improves blood flow and increases testosterone levels.
Stress management | Prolonged stress and anxiety can lead to erection problems.
Quitting smoking and reducing alcohol | Both can negatively affect blood vessels and erections.
Medication for erection optimisation
If necessary, medication such as PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra or Cialis) can be prescribed. These medications work by improving blood flow to the penis, making erections firmer and longer-lasting.
Personalised route & follow-up
Our approach is entirely personalised and tailored to each client's specific needs. During the course, regular evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress.
At IKARIA Clinics, we believe in a total solution for erectile dysfunction - from medical diagnostics to lifestyle interventions and targeted treatments.
