Medically reviewed by Dr. Haroon Arshad, MD

Erectile dysfunction is common, but talking about it does not always feel easy. For many men, the hardest part is not recognizing that something has changed. It is finding the time and privacy to actually discuss it with a healthcare provider. With telehealth, men in New Jersey may be able to discuss erectile dysfunction privately with a licensed healthcare provider without starting with a trip to a waiting room.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction, commonly called ED, is difficulty getting or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual activity. Occasional difficulty with erections can happen to many men. Stress, fatigue, alcohol, relationship concerns, medications, and other temporary factors can all play a role. When the problem becomes persistent or starts affecting your confidence, relationships, or quality of life, it may be worth discussing with a healthcare provider.

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?

ED can have physical, psychological, or mixed causes.

Common factors may include:

High blood pressure
Diabetes
High cholesterol
Cardiovascular disease
Obesity
Smoking
Certain medications
Hormonal conditions
Stress or anxiety
Depression
Sleep problems
Alcohol or substance use

Because erections depend on healthy blood flow, nerves, hormones, and psychological health, ED can sometimes be associated with another medical condition. That is one reason a proper medical evaluation matters.

Can Erectile Dysfunction Be Treated Through Telehealth?

For appropriate patients, evaluation and treatment of erectile dysfunction may be available through telehealth.
