“Sexual wellness is critical to overall health and happiness. That’s why you see more men and women turning to specialty health clinics for solutions to problems they consider more aesthetic versus medical,” said Mitchell Hollander, MD.

"Psychological factors often have an important role [in erectile dysfunction], and psychological treatment options are available that have been found to improve outcomes," said Mark S. Allen, PhD.
