Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Riverside

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common medical condition that affects millions of men. It is defined as the difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for intimacy. If you are experiencing symptoms of ED, please know you are not alone, and effective treatments are available.

At Mission Urology, our mission is to provide you with comprehensive, respectful care. We understand that discussing ED can be challenging, but Dr. Takesita and our professional team are here to listen and help you find a solution that restores your confidence and well-being. We proudly serve patients throughout the Inland Empire from our welcoming urology clinic in Riverside.

A Caring Approach to Your Health

Feelings of stress, anxiety, or guilt can sometimes accompany ED, affecting your health and relationships. It’s important to remember that ED is a treatable medical issue, often linked to common health conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Our first step is always to understand the complete picture of your health in a private, supportive setting.

Your Personalized ED Evaluation

To find the right treatment for you, your Riverside urologist will conduct a thorough and confidential evaluation. We believe in building a foundation of trust and clinical excellence. Your consultation will include:

• A Detailed Medical History Review: We discuss your overall health and any existing conditions.
• Lifestyle Factor Discussion: We talk about how factors like diet, exercise, smoking, or stress may play a role.
• A Review of Current Medications: Some prescriptions can contribute to ED, and we can identify if this is a factor.
• Hormone Assessment: If indicated, we may check testosterone levels, as low levels can sometimes affect sex drive and erections.
