Frequently Asked Questions

about Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is typically identified by persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Common symptoms include:

  • Difficulty getting an erection when desired.
  • Inability to sustain an erection throughout sexual activity.
  • A noticeable decrease in overall sexual desire or libido.

The timeline for improvement depends on the underlying cause and the chosen treatment. While some treatments, like Trimix, work within minutes, other medications take effect within an hour. In contrast, long-term regenerative therapies, such as Stem Cell Therapy or acoustic wave treatments, may require several weeks to show full results, as they address the root vascular issues.

Yes, most cases of ED are highly treatable. At IUVENTUS MEDICAL CENTER, we focus on identifying if the cause is physical, psychological, or hormonal to provide a comprehensive treatment plan that restores long-term function.
There is no “one-size-fits-all” cure, but clinical studies show high success rates for customized combination therapies. We often recommend a mix of acoustic wave therapy, hormone optimization, and lifestyle changes for the most sustainable results.

The safest approach is a non-invasive treatment under medical supervision. Non-surgical options such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and shockwave therapy are popular because they use the body’s natural healing processes with minimal risk of side effects. 

For patients seeking the most powerful results, Trimix injection therapy is often considered the most effective medical treatment, providing a reliable response even when oral medications fail.

While ED becomes more common with age, it is not considered an inevitable part of aging. It is a medical condition that often serves as an early warning sign for other health issues, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
ED is often caused by physical factors that restrict blood flow or damage nerves, such as heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, and high cholesterol. It can also be a common side effect following prostate removal or other pelvic surgeries. Additionally, ED can be triggered by hormonal imbalances, obesity, stress, anxiety, or certain prescription medications.

Treatments range from lifestyle modifications to advanced medical therapies. Common options at our Las Vegas clinic include:

  • Oral Medications: Popular first-line defenses.
  • Trimix Therapy: Highly effective for those who don’t respond to pills.
  • Regenerative Medicine: Stem Cell Therapy and PRP (P-Shot) to repair tissue.
  • Acoustic Wave Therapy: Non-invasive sound waves to improve blood flow.
  • Hormone Replacement Therapy: Correcting low testosterone levels.

While erectile dysfunction itself does not directly cause infertility (the inability to produce viable sperm), it acts as a significant physical barrier to natural conception. If hormonal imbalances like Low-T are causing your ED, they may also be affecting your sperm count. Addressing the root cause can often improve both sexual function and reproductive health.
“Impotence” is an older, broader term that carries a negative stigma. Today, medical professionals prefer Erectile Dysfunction (ED), which specifically refers to the regular difficulty of achieving or maintaining an erection. Using more precise clinical terms helps us focus on the specific vascular, hormonal or neurological causes during your consultation.
Most ED treatments are well-tolerated, but some patients may experience mild side effects like headaches, flushing, or nasal congestion. Because we specialize in customized programs like Trimix and regenerative therapies, we can often find alternatives that provide maximum results with significantly fewer side effects than standard oral medications.
Treatment costs vary based on the customized plan—whether it involves Trimix, Stem Cell Therapy, or acoustic waves. We provide transparent pricing and special offers during your initial consultation to ensure you find a solution that fits your budget.
Many diagnostic tests and hormone evaluations may be covered, but specific regenerative treatments are often considered elective. Our team at IUVENTUS MEDICAL CENTER can help you navigate your coverage options and provides flexible payment plans.
Some patients experience immediate results with Trimix therapy, while regenerative treatments like the PRP-Shot typically show peak results over several weeks as tissue repairs. We monitor your progress closely to ensure you are meeting your goals.
Your first visit is a private, professional evaluation where we review your medical history, perform necessary diagnostics, and discuss your goals. We prioritize a comfortable environment at our Las Vegas clinics to develop a plan tailored to your needs.
