Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Johor Bahru and Batu Pahat, Johor
Private assessment and treatment of erection problems and premature ejaculation by consultant urologist Dato’ Dr Azhar Amir Hamzah, who looks for the cause, not just the symptom.
What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex. Occasional problems are normal, but ongoing ED is common, especially after 40, and very treatable. ED can also be an early warning sign of diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, so it is worth checking. Premature ejaculation, when ejaculation happens sooner than you or your partner would like, is also common and treatable.

How Dato’ Dr Azhar assesses and treats erectile dysfunction
Dato’ Dr Azhar asks about your health, medicines and symptoms in a private consultation, examines you and checks blood sugar, cholesterol and testosterone. When needed, he arranges further tests of blood flow.
Treatment depends on the cause and may include lifestyle changes, tablets, treatment of low testosterone, and other medical options when tablets do not work. Premature ejaculation is treated with techniques, medicine or both. He explains each option clearly so you can choose what suits you.

It becomes more common with age, but it is not inevitable and it usually has a treatable cause.
Can ED be a sign of heart disease?
