Mohit Khera, MD, MBA, MPH, joins the Erectile Dysfunction Radio Podcast to discuss the use of PDE5 inhibitors for treating erectile dysfunction this week. PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra) are often prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction.

Dr. Khera is a board-certified urologist. He serves as Professor of Urology and Director of the Laboratory for Andrology Research at the McNair Medical Institute at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

He specializes in the treatment of male infertility, sexual dysfunction, and declining testosterone levels in men as they age.

I think this is true, but you can’t ignore that people on this forum already made the choice to wreck our hormonal homeostasis by taking exogenous Testosterone. The downstream effects of that very much can and do effect libido and erection. I wish I could go back and not mess with my hormones but four years in, there isn’t much going back. Cialis helps.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
