It's common.
Possible causes

Schedule your visit with Advanced Urology, with locations across metro Atlanta.
Questions to bring to your visit
- Which medicines do I take?
- How often does this happen, and since when?
What happens at your visit with us?
Our urologists will ask about your health, medicines, alcohol and stress, and do a short exam. Blood tests for sugar, cholesterol and hormones are common, since each of these can affect erections.
When should I call us?
Call us if this keeps happening, if pills you tried have not helped, or if it is causing strain with a partner. Erection problems sometimes reflect how well blood vessels are working, so a visit makes sense even when you feel well.
How do our urologists approach this?
Treatment follows the cause. Advanced Urology offers medicines, shockwave therapy, injections, vacuum devices and implants, and our urologists also talk through lifestyle steps that support blood flow.
Our urologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners see adults from Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Crabapple and Mountain Park at our Alpharetta / Roswell office.
