ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED), also referred to as IMPOTENCE, is a condition characterized by the inability for a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. Though ED is a common condition that affects men of all ages, it is more prevalent in men aged 40 and over.

Dr Onyango Oluoch – Urologist in Nairobi, Kenya, offers professional treatment, including Non-Invasive ED Treatment, having many years of experience on delivering excellent and cost effective diagnosis, treatment and management of factors affecting the erectile function in men. ED can affect the quality of life of a man, causing stress, low self-esteem, and, more commonly, relationship troubles. Erectile dysfunction can affect men of any age. Although ED becomes more common as men age, it is not a normal part of getting older.

If erectile dysfunction is an on-going or recurring problem, it may be an indication of a health issue and requires medical attention. The inability to achieve and maintain an erection of the penis can be a sign of some underlying medical condition or a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It may also be due to other sexual problems, such as delayed or premature ejaculation

Dr Onyango Oluoch – Urologist, recommends that you immediately consult your physician should you be frequently experience erectile dysfunction, in order to determine the cause of the condition. While erection problems frequently occur with age, it is not a normal part of aging and can even be an early indicator for cardiovascular disease.

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction ED
A man is considered to have erectile dysfunction problem when
• Not able to achieve an erection
• Not able to sustain erection long enough for sexual intercourse
• Not able to chieve an effective erection inconsistently

How we diagnose ED
Physical Examination: To carefully examine the penis and testicles as well as check the nerves for sensation.
Blood Tests: To diagnose signs of heart diseases, levels of male hormone in the blood, diabetes, and other medical problems.
Urinalysis (Urine Tests): This is done to check for diabetes and other conditions.
Penile Doppler Ultrasound: In this, we do ultrasound with an injection of vasodilation medications into the penis, which stimulates the blood flow and produces an erection.
Overnight Erection Test: As most men have erections during sleep, usually without even remembering it, this simple test is done to analyze the erection.
