In this short medical briefing, Dr. Anne Truong addresses men over 40 who experience erectile dysfunction (ED) and cautions against self‑diagnosing online. She presents a detailed case of a patient, “David,” who can achieve a partial erection but consistently loses it during penetration. The dysfunction developed gradually and also occurs when he is alone. David has been on long‑term blood pressure therapy for five years, specifically the thiazide diuretic hydrochlorothiazide and the beta‑blocker atenolol. He quit smoking five years ago, leads a sedentary lifestyle, and drinks socially. His primary concern is the impact of ED on his marriage to a younger wife. Dr. Truong emphasizes that the root cause—likely medication‑induced vascular changes—was identified and treated, underscoring the importance of professional evaluation over internet searches.

If you're a man over 40 and this is happening to you, don't Google it. Don't ignore it. Let me walk you through a real case that shows exactly what I mean. Here's a patient. Let's just call him David. He can still get an erection partially, but he keeps losing it with penetration every time. It crept up on him slowly. It happened when he's alone as well. So David's been on blood pressure medication for about 5 years. A water pill called hydrochlorothiazide, and a beta blocker called atenolol. He used to smoke but quit 5 years ago. He doesn't exercise much. He drinks socially. Now here's the thing. David almost didn't bring this up. He came in to see me for ED, but he's very concerned about his relationship with his wife, who is younger than he is. I treated the root cause of his problem.
