Short YouTube monologue (by Anne Truong MD) responding to a comment about the link between testosterone and erectile dysfunction (ED). The speaker emphasizes that ED is multifactorial — including sleep, diet, exercise, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stress — and that testosterone is only one contributing factor; effective treatment should address these factors to restore blood flow.

Hello there. This is in response to the comment a urologist once told me that there is no connection between testosterone and ed. That is somewhat right. ED is multifactorial causes. It either can be from your sleep, your diet, what you eat, whether you're doing enough exercise, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and stress. All those can contribute to ED along with testosterone level. So testosterone is one part of the whole complexity of multiple other factors that contribute to ed. That's why to treat ED, you need to address all those factors in order to reverse the cause of ed, which is decreased blood flow.
