Urology Care of Central Florida

An erection is the result of a complicated series of stimuli and responses involving the brain, nervous system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system (hormones), muscular system, as well as psychological and emotional factors. Medical issues like obesity, high blood pressure, and stress can cause ED.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is the most frequent sexual problem that men report to their doctor. It is defined as the inability to develop or maintain an erection that is firm enough to engage in sexual activity. Periodic problems with erections are not unusual; however, when these occasional episodes become routine it’s time for a conversation with your doctor.

The InterStim® device is inserted in the body through a minimally-invasive procedure conducted under anesthesia. Signs you may be a perfect candidate for sacral nerve stimulation through InterStim® include: You have an overactive bladder. You have urge incontinence. Other treatments have not worked for you. You do not have an obstruction (BPH, cancer, urethral stricture). Before receiving the InterStim® system as a long-term treatment for incontinence, you will be tested during an evaluation, which will reveal if you will benefit from the system. You may also be asked to try medication and therapy before being considered as a candidate for InterStim®. Get started by scheduling an appointment with Urology Care of Central Florida.
