What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is a common condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It can affect men of all ages and may be caused by a variety of factors, including physical health issues, psychological factors, or a combination of both.

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction:

  • Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection

  • Reduced sexual desire

  • Performance anxiety or stress related to sexual activity

Medication Options for Erectile Dysfunction:

  1. Sildenafil (Viagra): This medication increases blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.

  2. Tadalafil (Cialis): Tadalafil offers longer-lasting effects, allowing for spontaneity in sexual activity. It helps relax muscles and increases blood flow to the penis.

  3. Vardenafil (Levitra): Vardenafil improves erectile function by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping you achieve and maintain an erection.

  4. Avanafil (Stendra): Known for its rapid onset of action, Avanafil can help you achieve an erection quickly and efficiently, allowing for more spontaneity in sexual activity.

These medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and sustain an erection when sexually stimulated.

What does Low Testosterone Levels mean?

Low testosterone levels, or hypogonadism, occur when the body produces insufficient amounts of testosterone. This hormone plays a crucial role in maintaining various aspects of male health, including muscle mass, bone density, mood, and sexual function.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone:

  • Fatigue or decreased energy levels

  • Decreased libido or sexual desire

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Mood swings or irritability

Treatment Options for Low Testosterone:

  1. Testosterone Cypionate Injections: Delivered directly to your home for self-administration, these injections help replenish testosterone levels and alleviate symptoms of low testosterone.

  2. Topical Testosterone: Convenient and easy to apply, topical testosterone treatments are absorbed through the skin, increasing testosterone levels and improving symptoms.

  3. Sermorelin Therapy: Stimulates the body's natural production of growth hormone, improving energy levels, mood, and libido.

Testosterone is a sex hormone produced primarily in the testicles. It helps maintain sex drive, sperm production, bone density, fat distribution, muscle straighten and mass, facial and body hair, and red blood cell production.

Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As men age, testosterone levels gradually decline typically about 1% a year after age 30 or 40. This decline leads to changes in body function, cognition, sleep patterns, physical strength, stamina and at times decline in libido. Hormone imbalances are usually what leads to the body's reduction or stoppage in hormone production to sustain normal daily functions. Just as women are started on hormone replacement therapy to ease symptoms of menopause, it is equally as effective when HRT is used to aide men with testosterone deficiency which is also known as andropause or male menopause.

Practice Policies for Testosterone Therapy

Lab Work Policy

In order to properly monitor testosterone levels, it requires regular lab work. Your provider will order lab work so it can be obtained before both your initial and follow-up visit. It is your responsibility to get them drawn through LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics. If you have your lab work drawn at a different location, it is your responsibility to make sure the results of this lab work has been sent to your Provider directly via the Charm Health Patient Portal or faxed. Results must be sent to your provider before your appointment date or at least 2 hours before your appointment time to avoid delays in your prescriptions, treatment or appointment time and to also allow your provider ample time to review your lab results and cultivate a treatment plan . Our fax number is (718) 691-6499. Failure to obtain labs beforehand, will result in cancellation charges outlined in our policies manual and no prescription orders/delivery until another scheduled appointment with your provider.

Clinical Compliance Policy

During the course of your treatment, your provider may request that you donate blood if your hematocrit (blood thickness) becomes elevated. You may or may not be asked to see a specialist known as a hematologist or undergo screening for obstructive sleep apnea. Depending on your age, your provider may regularly screen you for prostate cancer. If your provider feels that you may be at risk for having a prostate cancer, they may recommend that you see a cancer specialist. It is your responsibility to follow these recommendations. Failure to do so may result in your testosterone prescription being canceled until you are able to follow your provider’s specific recommendations.

Testosterone Refill/Delivery Policy

During each scheduled appointment, your provider will make every effort to ensure you have enough testosterone to last you until your next scheduled clinic appointment. Making this appointment and obtaining your scheduled lab work is your responsibility. If you miss your appointment, cancel it, or delay it for any reason, you may run out of testosterone. If you find yourself in any of the aforementioned circumstances and call to request a refill, you may be required to obtain repeat bloodwork and attend a follow-up visit prior to receiving a refill. Depending on your provider’s availability, this may result in you being without testosterone for some time. Repeated calls, or abusive behavior, may result in your prescription being permanently canceled and discharge from practice. Testosterone is a controlled substance and is monitored closely by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

No testosterone refills will be performed over the phone FOR ANY REASON unless your previously scheduled appointment is cancelled by your Provider due to unforeseen circumstances. If you would like to request a refill of any medication, you MUST message your Provider via the Charm Patient Portal or Spruce Health. All your prescriptions and supplies will be mailed directly to you. We are unable to process any prescription request or refills requests by you or sent through your pharmacy.
