Erectile dysfunction
— assessment and treatment in Oslo and Trondheim.

Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is common and affects men of all ages. It is a condition with many possible causes — and most can be treated effectively once the cause is identified. We offer thorough evaluations at urologists in Trondheim and Oslo.

Sudden onset of erectile dysfunction without a clear cause

Common causes

Common causes of erectile dysfunction

Cardiovascular disease

A good erection requires good blood flow. Narrowed blood vessels — the same thing that increases the risk of heart disease — are the most common physical cause of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can therefore sometimes be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease.

Diabetes

High blood sugar over time can damage both the nerves and blood vessels necessary for erection. Men with diabetes are at increased risk of erectile dysfunction, and the condition should be investigated and followed up.

Hormonal disturbances

Low testosterone levels and other hormonal imbalances can affect both sex drive and erectile function. A simple blood test can reveal whether hormonal causes are involved.

Psychological factors

Stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems are common and treatable causes of erectile dysfunction. Psychological and physical causes often occur simultaneously and reinforce each other.

Medications and lifestyle

Certain medications — including blood pressure medications and antidepressants — can affect erectile function, as can smoking, high alcohol consumption, and low physical activity.

How it works

How the investigation is carried out

1

Consultation

The urologist conducts a thorough interview about symptoms, lifestyle, medications, and medical history.

2

Examination

The evaluation may include blood tests (hormones, blood sugar, cholesterol) and blood pressure measurement, as well as a physical examination.

3

treatment Plan

Treatment is tailored to the cause. Current options may include lifestyle changes, medication, or referral for specialized treatment if needed.
