Solutions For Erectile Dysfunction

In this episode, Cassidy Graham, NP discusses the evaluation and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Cassidy explains how she uses a SHIM score to evaluate ED. The SHIM score (Sexual Health Inventory for Men), is a questionnaire used to assess ED. SHIM is a validated tool developed by researchers to help clinicians evaluate the severity of ED in men. It consists of five questions related to the frequency and quality of erections, with scores ranging from 1 to 25. A higher score indicates better erectile function, while lower scores suggest more severe ED. The SHIM score helps the Victory Men’s Health providers gauge the extent of the problem and guide appropriate treatment options for patients experiencing ED.


Cassidy also examples the most common lifestyle factors that contribute to ED, the important role of nitric oxide in ED and the use of nitric oxide supplements, treatment options for mild, moderate, and severe ED, the use of penis pumps, and the importance of post-op care for prostatectomy patients.
