What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the persistent difficulty in achieving a firm erection that allows for enjoyable sexual activity. It is a common problem that significantly affects quality of life, self-esteem, and relationships.
Is erectile dysfunction common?
Over time, it is very common to experience impotence or difficulty maintaining a firm erection. It is estimated that erectile dysfunction affects:
- About 5% of men in their 40s
- Approximately 15% of men over 70
Despite its prevalence, many men do not seek professional help, even though it impacts their quality of life, self-esteem, and relationships. At our clinics, we help you regain a fulfilling and satisfying sexual life with the best treatments for erectile dysfunction in Barcelona.
Frequently asked questions about erectile dysfunction
Can erectile dysfunction be cured?
In many cases, erectile dysfunction can improve or even be reversed if the underlying cause is identified and treated. When the cause is psychological or related to lifestyle habits, full recovery is often possible. In other cases, such as vascular or hormonal conditions, treatment can significantly improve erectile function.
When should I see a doctor for erectile dysfunction?
It is recommended to consult a specialist when difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection persists for more than three months. You should also seek medical advice if erectile dysfunction appears suddenly.
Is erectile dysfunction normal with age?
It becomes more common with age, but it should not be considered a normal or inevitable part of aging. In most cases, effective treatments are available to restore satisfactory sexual function.
Do medications like Viagra cure erectile dysfunction?
Drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra) can be highly effective, but they do not treat the underlying cause of the problem. A full medical evaluation is essential before starting any treatment.
Does erectile dysfunction affect fertility?
Erectile dysfunction does not directly affect sperm production, but it can make sexual intercourse more difficult, which may reduce the chances of achieving pregnancy.

Main causes of erectile dysfunction
It is difficult to define a single cause of impotence, as it can be caused by physical factors, psychological factors, or a combination of both.
In our clinical experience with erectile dysfunction in Barcelona, some of the most common causes are:
Physical factors
- Cardiovascular problems (hypertension, arteriosclerosis)
- Diabetes
- Hormonal imbalances (low testosterone)
- Spinal cord or neurological injuries
- Use of certain medications
- Smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and alcohol consumption
Psychological factors
- Stress and anxiety
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship conflicts
Frequent cases that can lead to erectile dysfunction
Diabetes
Men with diabetes are three times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction. Symptoms may also appear 10–15 years earlier than in men without diabetes. It is essential to control glucose levels and follow a comprehensive treatment plan.

Treatments for erectile dysfunction in Barcelona
Today, there are various options to treat erectile dysfunction. At Andrología Barcelona, we adapt to the individual needs and underlying causes of each patient’s problem to provide the most suitable treatment and ensure its success. From oral medications to surgical procedures, we specialize in all types of erectile dysfunction treatments in Barcelona.
Oral medications or Pills
One of the main options to treat erectile dysfunction is the use of medications like Sildenafil (Viagra), which increase blood flow to the penis.
Penile prostheses
Through surgery, erectile dysfunction can be treated with implantable devices that allow an artificial erection. Penile implants are a long-term solution for patients who do not respond to other treatments.
Shock waves
This type of acoustic wave therapy promotes erectile capacity by improving blood flow and stimulating the growth of new blood vessels.
Sexual and couples therapy
Another effective approach at our Barcelona clinic involves therapy in collaboration with different professionals to address erectile dysfunction.
