- Is my ED mild to moderate?

Your visit
Our urologists start with your health history, medicines and a short exam, and may check blood sugar, cholesterol and hormone levels. Sometimes a penile ultrasound is used to look at blood flow.
When to call
Call us if erections have been getting weaker over time, or if pills work less well than they once did.
Our approach
Shockwave therapy is one choice among several. Our urologists may pair it with lifestyle steps or medicine, and they will be open with you about what the research does and does not show.
