Overcome Men’s Sexual Challenges for Improved Performance in Newport Beach
There are many factors that can impact sexual performance in men. Some performance issues may stem from medical conditions like low testosterone, heart disease, and diabetes. Some men may be experiencing psychological or emotional issues like stress and depression. Hormonal deficiencies due to age are another common cause for a reduction in sexual performance resulting from symptoms related to low-T like low libido, severe changes in mood, erectile dysfunction, and a lack of interest in sex altogether.
These and other medical and psychological factors can all play contributing roles in negatively impacting sexual performance in men.
Common Symptoms of Sexual Dysfunction in Men
Age can have an impact on sexual performance but that is only one of many causes behind the common symptoms of dysfunction often experienced by men. Some symptoms may be temporary, others can linger for the long-term. Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Garcia can be that important first step in diagnosing the issue and developing a treatment regimen that targets the issue to restore sexual function and performance to their peak levels.
Erectile Dysfunction
The most common symptom that impacts sexual performance, erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during intercourse. There are many factors that contribute to an erectile dysfunction diagnosis, from physical limitations to psychological obstacles.
Low Sexual Desire
Another common symptom is a reduction in libido. A loss of interest in sex can be a result of hormonal deficiency or other psychological reasons stemming from stress, depression, or personal issues that may be affecting your relationship with a significant other in your life.
Premature or Delayed Ejaculation
Men who ejaculate too quickly during intercourse or find it difficult to ejaculate with sufficient stimulation may be struggling with symptoms of sexual dysfunction that require treatment to eliminate these symptoms that are impacting quality of life.
Sexual Performance Treatment Options
Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Garcia allows for a diagnosis to be reached and the proper treatment option to be decided upon for restoring sexual performance. Patients have a range of safe and effective treatment methods to achieve the desired results.
PRP Treatments
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments take platelets from your own blood to repair and rejuvenate damaged tissue to restore sexual function. Blood is drawn from an area of the body, usually the arm, and placed into a centrifuge. This centrifugal process separates the plasma from the blood and the resulting plasma is full of blood cells that are highly valuable for triggering the body’s natural healing processes.
That plasma is then injected into damaged tissue to provide additional platelets and growth factors for accelerating the healing process through cellular regeneration.
PRP injections are an effective method for treating erectile dysfunction as the platelet-rich plasma that has been sourced from the blood is then administered directly into the penis via injection to repair and regenerate tissue and restore full functionality in achieving and maintaining an erection while also re-establishing normal sexual function. Platelet-rich plasma has been shown to stimulate collagen production to support the growth of new blood vessels in the penis for increased blood circulation resulting in healthier, longer-lasting erections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP Safe?
Yes. The platelet-rich plasma is sourced from the patient’s own blood. So there are minimal risks of infection or other health-related concerns stemming from the use of plasma as a treatment option.
Does the procedure hurt?
Dr. Garcia will determine the best site to use for administering the injection and apply a topical anesthetic to numb the site. Patients may feel a little pressure at the time of injection. Any mild discomfort at the injection site, though rare, often subsides in a very short period of time.
How long does it take to see results after the procedure?
Some patients have reported seeing a noticeable change in as little as one week after the initial treatment. But in most cases, results are often detected in approximately four to six weeks’ time.
Acoustic Wave Therapy Treatments
Acoustic wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that targets the symptoms of erectile dysfunction through the use of low-intensity sound waves to increase blood flow to the penis. These sound waves are utilized as means for stimulating the growth of new blood vessels in the penis while also reviving existing vascular tissue that has lost functionality.
The result is better circulation through the penis restoring successful erectile function and improved sexual performance.
This form of treatment is applied using a device that emits powerful pulses of soundwaves. The device is applied to various areas around the penis and a typical session can last approximately 15-20 minutes. Depending on the severity of the condition and other contributing factors, patients may require just one session or multiple treatments to achieve their desired results.
Although this procedure has not yet been approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction, the results of this non-invasive treatment have shown to provide a long-term solution to men struggling with erectile dysfunction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Acoustic Wave Therapy safe for men with erectile dysfunction?
Yes, the procedure utilizes low-intensity sound waves that are aimed directly at the penis to increase blood flow, stimulate the regeneration of damaged tissue, and repair microvascular damage caused by certain medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Is this procedure effective?
Patients have reported an increase in sexual performance through achieving harder, longer-lasting erections in faster time. Every patient is different so your results may vary, however, studies have determined that men with moderate to severe erectile dysfunction have seen more benefits from this type of treatment.
Are there side effects with Acoustic Wave Therapy treatments
Although rare, any side effects experienced during treatment are temporary redness and mild discomfort at the exposure sites. These symptoms usually go away after a day or two. No downtime or recovery is needed after treatment.
Sildenafil and Tadalafil Treatments
Sildenafil and Tadalafil are popular options for treating erectile dysfunction. Both are oral treatments that are formulated as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors to increase blood flow to the penis.
Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Garcia will allow for an accurate diagnosis to be made as to whether the symptoms experienced are typical of erectile dysfunction and if Sildenafil or Tadalafil are sufficient options for treatment. A personalized regimen will be developed to target the specific needs of the patient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these medications safe and effective?
Yes, Sildenafil and Tadalafil are both FDA approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. They are available by prescription only and regulated as such due to their potential adverse interactions with other prescription medications. Dr. Garcia will review each patient’s medical history and ensure that dosing levels of the medication won’t interact with other prescriptions that are currently being administered.
What are the side effects with these treatment options?
There is a small risk of mild effects for some patients such as headaches, nasal congestion, and flushed skin.
How long will it take to see results?
These medications are designed to work quickly. Sildenafil typically takes effect in thirty to sixty minutes and lasts anywhere from four to six hours. Tadalafil usually takes effect in thirty to forty-five minutes and can last up to thirty-six hours. These are average timeframes and may vary from one patient to the next.
Trimix Treatments
Vasodilators are medications designed to widen the blood vessels for improved blood flow when treating circulatory issues. Erectile dysfunction is often a circulatory condition that can be treated through the use of vasodilator medications.
Dr. Garcia offers Trimix for treating erectile dysfunction which is a combination of three vasodilators: alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine. The medication is injected directly into the penis to increase blood flow and induce an erection.
This option is often chosen if oral treatments are ineffective for achieving results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Trimix safe?
Yes, Trimix is available by prescription only and should be used under careful supervision. After an initial consultation, Dr. Garcia will determine if Trimix is right for you.
Are there any side effects?
Patients have reported some minor side effects associated with Trimix, including pain or discomfort, prolonged erection, scarring, and infection at the injection site. These symptoms are typically mild and proper dosing will help to reduce these risks.
How long does it take to see results?
Trimix is a vasodilator designed to be injected directly into the penis to relax the blood vessels and increase blood flow. Results are fast-acting for a quick and firm erection.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) Treatments
Testosterone replacement therapy is another treatment option that can target and eliminate the symptoms and underlying cause of erectile dysfunction and a range of other conditions affecting sexual performance due to an imbalance or deficiency in testosterone levels.
As we age, the body is unable to produce the same levels of testosterone and bioidentical hormone replacement may be necessary to restore and maintain those levels. TRT can also be a beneficial solution for restoring sexual performance when andropause also known as “male menopause” is responsible for typical symptoms such as reduced libido, decreased stamina, erectile dysfunction and psychological issues such as depression and anxiety.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy can offer many benefits for restoring sexual performance and increasing sexual function in men over the age of thirty.
