Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Erectile dysfunction is common, and it’s treatable. Whether it’s an occasional frustration or an ongoing concern, Premier Urology’s board-certified urologists can help you understand what’s behind it and find a treatment option that works for you.
Symptoms
Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
Reduced sexual desire
Anxiety around sexual performance
Causes
Erectile dysfunction can stem from vascular issues, diabetes, certain medications, low testosterone, or psychological factors like stress and anxiety. Often, more than one factor is involved.
Diagnosis
Your visit starts with a consultation covering your symptoms, medical history, and any medications you’re taking. Bloodwork may be used to check testosterone levels and rule out other contributing conditions.
Treatment Options
Treatment options range from oral medication to injections, with penile prosthesis surgery available for men who don’t respond to other treatments.

When to Talk With a Urologist
Occasional difficulty with erections can happen, but symptoms that continue, become more frequent, or affect your confidence and relationships deserve medical attention. Erectile dysfunction can sometimes be an early sign of an underlying health concern involving circulation, hormones, nerves, or medication side effects. A urologic evaluation can help identify contributing factors rather than simply treating the symptom in isolation.
A Confidential, Whole-Health Evaluation
Premier Urology approaches erectile dysfunction with privacy, professionalism, and respect. Your urologist may ask about when symptoms began, whether erections occur at certain times, and whether there have been changes in desire, energy, stress, or overall health. Information about diabetes, high blood pressure, heart health, prior surgery, and current medications may also be important. Testing is selected based on your individual history and may include bloodwork or other focused evaluation.
Personalized Treatment Options
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Some men improve with changes to medications or health habits, while others benefit from oral medicines, self-injection therapy, vacuum devices, or hormone evaluation when low testosterone is suspected. For men with persistent symptoms who have not responded to less invasive options, a penile prosthesis can provide a dependable surgical solution. Your urologist will review benefits, limitations, possible side effects, and practical considerations for each option.
Supporting Confidence and Quality of Life
Erectile dysfunction can affect emotional well-being as well as physical health. Seeking care is a practical medical step, not something to feel embarrassed about. The goal of treatment is to help restore reliable function while addressing any health issues that may be contributing. Open communication with your physician and, when appropriate, your partner can make it easier to choose an option that fits your needs and expectations.

Comprehensive Care at Premier Urology
Premier Urology’s approach to erectile dysfunction reflects the practice’s broader commitment to comprehensive, compassionate urologic care. The team includes two board-certified urologists with surgical privileges at HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood. Patients receive explanations in plain language, opportunities to ask questions, and recommendations based on their health history and goals. Because urologic symptoms can be personal, the practice emphasizes privacy, professionalism, and trust from the first call through follow-up. Adult men and women throughout the greater Houston area are encouraged to seek evaluation when symptoms are persistent, worsening, or affecting everyday life. Early attention can help identify the cause, rule out more serious concerns, and provide a clearer range of treatment choices. The care team also coordinates testing, procedures, surgical planning, and recovery guidance when those services are needed.
At every stage, the patient remains part of the decision-making process. Your urologist will discuss what is known, what additional information may be needed, and the benefits and limitations of available options. Instructions are provided for preparation, medication use, recovery, and follow-up as appropriate. Patients should contact the office with questions and seek urgent care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms. This practical, individualized approach supports both informed choices and a more comfortable healthcare experience.
