Sexual Health & Performance Guide

Understanding men’s sexual health and changes in sexual performance and confidence starts with understanding the factors that may contribute to these concerns. Learn about common causes, evaluation approaches, treatment options, and questions to discuss with a healthcare provider.

What is sexual performance?

Sexual performance refers to several aspects of sexual health, including erectile function, sexual desire, stamina, and overall confidence. Changes in sexual performance can happen for many reasons, including changes in hormones, circulation, stress, medications, and overall wellness.

What are common causes of erectile dysfunction and changes in sexual performance?

Erectile dysfunction and changes in sexual performance can have several possible causes, including changes in blood flow, hormone levels, nerve health, stress, certain medications, lifestyle factors, and underlying health conditions. Because more than one factor may contribute, a healthcare provider can evaluate your symptoms, health history, and overall health to help determine possible causes.

Is erectile dysfunction a normal part of aging?

While changes in sexual function can become more common as men age, erectile dysfunction is not something men simply have to accept as a normal part of aging. Understanding the underlying factors can help identify appropriate treatment options.

When should I talk to a healthcare provider about erectile concerns?

Occasional changes in sexual performance can happen, but ongoing concerns about erections, desire, or sexual function may be worth discussing with a healthcare provider. An evaluation can help identify possible contributing factors and appropriate next steps.

What happens during a sexual performance consultation?

A sexual performance consultation begins with discussing symptoms, health history, and personal goals. Providers evaluate factors that may contribute to sexual health concerns and work with patients to determine appropriate treatment options based on their individual needs.

Can low testosterone affect sexual performance?

Testosterone plays a role in men’s health, including sexual desire and overall wellness. Low testosterone may contribute to changes in libido, energy, and other symptoms. Testing can help determine whether testosterone levels may be a factor.

Erectile dysfunction may include difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, changes in erection quality, or concerns about sexual performance. Occasional changes can happen, but ongoing concerns may be worth discussing with a healthcare provider.

Erectile concerns can sometimes be associated with factors such as circulation, hormone levels, stress, medications, lifestyle factors, or other health conditions. Evaluating overall health can help identify possible contributing factors.

The right treatment depends on several factors, including your symptoms, health history, goals, and lifestyle. A provider can evaluate your needs and recommend options that align with your individual goals.

There isn’t one treatment approach that’s right for every man. The appropriate option depends on factors such as what may be contributing to erectile dysfunction, your overall health, medications, symptoms, previous treatments and personal goals. Some men may be candidates for prescription medication, while others may benefit from non-medication or combination approaches. A healthcare provider can help evaluate these factors and discuss the potential benefits, risks and considerations of available options.

Tell your provider about your current medications, like nitrates, supplements and health conditions before starting treatment for erectile dysfunction. Certain medications and health conditions may affect whether a particular ED treatment is appropriate for you.

Yes. Testosterone plays a role in men’s health, including sexual desire and overall wellness. If symptoms suggest hormone levels may be a factor, testing can help evaluate whether testosterone may be contributing.

No. Erectile dysfunction can have many possible causes, including circulation, hormone levels, stress, medications, lifestyle factors, and overall health. Evaluating these factors can help determine what may be contributing to symptoms.

Sexual performance treatments should be evaluated based on your individual health history and needs. A provider can discuss potential benefits, risks, and whether a treatment option may be appropriate for you.

Focused wave therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are different approaches that may be considered for sexual performance concerns. Focused wave therapy uses acoustic waves delivered externally to targeted areas, while PRP uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from a patient’s own blood and administered to targeted areas. A healthcare provider can help determine which treatment options may be appropriate based on your symptoms, health history, and goals.
