The Atma Approach

Erectile
Dysfunction

An erection is blood flow plus a nervous system that will allow it.

Why a pill can force a night without reopening the vessels that stiffened in the first place.

By Dr. Neela Sandal

The short answer: When erectile dysfunction care stops at a PDE5 pill, it can miss root causes such as stiffened blood vessels, low testosterone, and sleep apnea. The Atma Approach is to find and treat those causes.

How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

Mainstream medicine's approach to erectile dysfunction is a blue pill and a joke.

Can't get or keep an erection. Viagra, Cialis. If it works, you're done. If it doesn't, maybe a urologist and a vacuum device. Testosterone if you push for it. The real issues — blood flow, sleep apnea, and the fact that the penis is a vascular organ — get a wink, not a workup.

Sound like your last doctor's appointment?

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Erectile Dysfunction?

Commonly missed root causes of erectile dysfunction include stiffened blood vessels, low testosterone, and sleep apnea.

An erection is blood flow plus a nervous system that will allow it. A PDE5 pill can force a night. It does not reopen vessels that insulin and sitting stiffened, raise a testosterone that crashed, or treat the apnea that is wrecking nocturnal erections. ED is often the first loud warning the rest of the vascular tree is next.

The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why did your erections change?

Has your doctor ever talked to you about these commonly missed root causes?

Commonly Missed Root Causes

•Endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance — the same lining problem that precedes heart disease
•Low testosterone, high prolactin, or a thyroid that took desire and firmness with it
•Sleep apnea ending nighttime erections years before daytime performance fully drops
•Blood-pressure meds, SSRIs, alcohol, and nicotine that the med list never connected to the bedroom
•Pelvic-floor guarding, nerve irritation, and performance threat that turn a vascular issue into a panic loop
•Out of balance neurochemistry
