UNDERSTANDING COVID & ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
COVID-19
Does it cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Over the past couple years, several studies have associated COVID-19 and erectile dysfunction (ED). Men who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 are more than three times more likely to be diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (1). This had led to a tremendous increase in not only new case of men experiencing ED but also men who have pre-existing ED seeing their symptoms worsen.
WHY IS COVID-19 CAUSING ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
There are three main reasons:
- Penile Tissue Damage
- Reduced Testosterone Levels
- Sexual Distress
Penile Tissue Damage
- The virus has been found to affect the blood vessels that supply the penis. The blood vessels themselves malfunction and are not able to provide enough blood to enter the penis to induce an erection (2).
- Patients who did not have ED prior to COVID and who have fully recovered from COVID still have erectile dysfunction after recovering from COVID.
- ED caused by penile tissue damage requires intervention by specialized doctors to treat it effectively, like the doctors found at Clinic For Him.
Reduced Testosterone Levels
- Up to 50% of Men who get infected with COVID-19 end up with Hypogonadism (Low Testosterone) (3)
- Low Testosterone can lead to not only erectile dysfunction but also brain fog, lack of energy, poor sleep, lack of focus and muscle loss.
- Further research if developing on exactly why COVID is causing long term Low Testosterone levels. However, Low Testosterone is easily treatable with Testosterone Replacement Therapy at Clinic For Him.
Sexual Distress
- COVID-19 leads to a period of severe depression and anxiety for most men.
- COVID-19 related depression and anxiety significantly impact a man’s ability to achieve and maintain an erection. (4)

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT MY APPOINTMENT WITH A CLINIC FOR HIM SPECIALIST?
Assessment
You will meet with a Male Medical Professional in one of our nationwide offices. Our professional staff have years of experience in treating only men who suffer from sexual dysfunction issues. The provider will go through your other medical conditions that might be attributing to your lack of performance such as Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure or a host of other conditions. Typically most men we see have already tried and failed on Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. There are many different kinds of erectile dysfunction some being from medical conditions, back injuries, and nerve issues. It is important for our provider to have a thorough understanding of your medical history.
Diagnostics
Two separate tests will be performed in the office. The first uses Ultrasound to assess the amount of blood flow the penis is receiving. Most men with conditions like Diabetes, Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure have a lack of blood flow due to restricted or damaged arteries. The other test uses a vibration-like like device called Biothesiometry to assess nerve damage or over-sensitivity. Men with Diabetes develop a condition called Neuropathy which leads to nerve damage in end arteries such as their feet and penis. Other Men might have completely healthy nerve tissue in their penis but there is a broken link from the brain to the penis. We see this in men with spinal cord injuries or Multiple Sclerosis. These two simple painless tests are the only certain way to diagnose an individual patients type of Erectile Dysfunction.
Medication
Once the doctor has conducted his assessment and the two diagnostic tests, he will determine the best treatment option for your specific condition. Most of our medications are custom formulated by the doctor for you specifically. With multiple different medications at his disposal their are hundreds of different dosing options. He will custom formulate a test dose of medication to give you right there in the office to be certain he has found a solution that is guaranteed to work for you. Our success rate is 98%.
