What is the basic department to see for ED?

Basically, it is urology. HIRO CLINIC prescribes prescriptions for ED mainly at Namba Shinsaibashi Hospital. However, ED is also related to internal medicine and psychosomatic medicine. HIRO CLINIC also has internal medicine and psychosomatic medicine, so it is possible to provide comprehensive treatment.

ED (erectile dysfunction) is basically a problem that is usually seen and treated by urologists. However, this problem may be treated not only by urology but also by several other medical disciplines, including internal medicine, psychosomatic medicine, sexual medicine, and men’s medicine (clinics specializing in men).The characteristics of each of these medical specialties are described below.

Why primarily urology?

  1. Expertise: (1)
  • Urology specializes in diseases of the kidneys, urethra, bladder, prostate, and male reproductive system; because ED is related to sexual function, urologic expertise is directly utilized.
  1. Diagnosis and treatment of physical causes:.
  • Most ED is due to physical causes. These include vascular disease, neurologic disorders, hormonal abnormalities, or drug side effects. Urologists are trained to identify these causes and provide appropriate treatment.
  1. Treatment options offered:.
  • There are a wide variety of options for ED treatment, including drug therapy, vacuum pump devices, local injection therapy, and surgery. Urologists have in-depth knowledge of these treatment options and can recommend the best treatment plan for their patients.

Relationship with other medical departments

  • Internal Medicine.
  • Internal medicine manages systemic conditions that can cause ED, such as diabetes and hypertension. These medical conditions can affect EDs.
  • Psychosomatic Medicine:.
  • ED can also be caused by psychological factors. Stress, anxiety, and depression can cause or exacerbate ED. Psychosomatic medicine provides evaluation and treatment of these psychological factors.
  • Venereal Diseases.
  • If a sexually transmitted disease is the cause of the ED, the patient should be seen by a sexologist.

Comprehensive Approach

Diagnosis and treatment of ED requires a multifaceted approach and may require collaboration with several specialists depending on the patient’s condition. Therefore, although the initial consultation is often performed by a urologist, it is important to obtain the cooperation of specialists in other departments as needed.
