The people at Boston Medical Group Telemedicine know that there are many things that can be at the root cause of ED.
According to some recent studies, there may be a correlation between the number of medications one takes and the onset of erectile dysfunction. Certainly the medications that deal with ED specifically may also not mix well with other medications someone may be taking, but the bottom line is that if you feel you may have erectile dysfunction, a good idea would be to cut out those medications that might be considered unnecessary. Usually these are over-the-counter drugs. Beyond that, a review of current prescriptions may also be in order with your physician.
Naturally, if you are taking medications that have been prescribed by a physician, you have a medical condition of some kind. Interestingly enough, there are doctors who look at someone who has erectile dysfunction and see that as away to possibly track down a condition that might have heretofore gone undiagnosed. In other words, if there is a connection between, say, heart disease and ED, maybe it is the ED that is detected first, and, in effect, becomes the way to eventually diagnose heart disease in someone.
That makes sense, since very often ED is something that is caused by another, pre-existing condition.
