Over 30 million men in the U.S. have erectile dysfunction (ED). If this condition affects you, the experienced urologists at Hackensack University Medical Center can help. Our fellowship-trained physicians will create an individualized treatment plan to help you restore sexual function and achieve an intimate relationship with your partner.

Board-certified – HackensackUMC’s urologists are board-certified and fellowship-trained in sexual medicine.

As experts in the field of ED, we offer a full range of treatment options. We can even help men who have not succeeded with prescription medications (such as Cialis® and Viagra®). Our urologists have access to state-of-the-art technology and provide the latest, safest erectile dysfunction treatments.

Our urologists will conduct a thorough exam using the latest tools and techniques to help determine the cause of your ED. Your exam may include a special test called a penile Doppler ultrasound, which uses ultrasound technology to identify blood flow problems in the arteries and veins inside your penis. You may also be asked to answer questions about your health or provide blood and urine samples.

Treating other health problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, can sometimes cure ED. If our urologists suspect that your ED is caused by an underlying medical condition, they may refer you to another qualified specialist for further treatment.

After our specialists determine the exact cause of your ED, they will develop a customized treatment plan to help you return to a healthy sex life. Depending on the cause of your ED, treatments may include:

• Medication. Your doctor may suggest a different medication if previous medication has been unsuccessful.
• MUSE® therapy. This involves placing a tiny suppository inside your penis to induce an erection by increasing blood flow.
• Injection therapy. An injectable form of medicine is used to increase blood flow to the penis.
• Surgery. Specialized minimally invasive surgical techniques are used to insert a penile prosthesis.
