Erectile dysfunction refers to the difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual activity. While occasional difficulties are normal, persistent ED can impact self-confidence, relationships, and quality of life.
Difficulty achieving an erection
Trouble maintaining an erection during intercourse
Reduced sexual desire or interest
Emotional effects such as frustration, anxiety, or low confidence
Because these symptoms may overlap with other health concerns, we carefully evaluate each patient to determine whether hormones may be a contributing factor.
Testosterone plays a key role in men’s sexual health, including libido, energy, and erectile function. Low testosterone can contribute to ED, sometimes alongside other health or lifestyle factors.
At InnerMD, we assess whether hormonal factors may be contributing to ED and consider treatments such as testosterone replacement therapy or personalized hormone care as part of a broader treatment plan.
We follow a clear process to provide men with personalized, confidential support for ED:
Intake Form – Complete our secure male intake form.
Virtual Consultation – Meet with Dr. Johnston to review symptoms, history, and possible contributing factors.
Lab Testing (If Needed) – Ordered to evaluate testosterone and other hormone levels.
Personalized Treatment Plan – May include hormone therapy, lifestyle guidance, or other recommendations.
Follow-Up Care – Regular reassessments every 3–6 months, with annual visits once treatment is stable.
