Types of Erectile Dysfunction Treatments
Some men may be unable to use certain treatments due to their current health status or other medications currently used. At the doctor consultation, a series of tests are performed and the doctor asks several questions to determine the best course of treatment for ED. Most men find that a combination of therapy provides the best results against erectile dysfunction. The doctor can help determine the best course of treatment for each ED sufferer.
Pills & Medications
Numerous medications designed to treat erectile dysfunction successfully treat this condition for many men. Medications are often used in combination with lifestyle changes for the best results. Viagra and Cialis are two of the biggest oral medications used to treat ED. Medications work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, which is found naturally in the body that causes the muscles in the penis to relax, in turn increasing blood flow so you can attain an erection when stimulated. Correct dosing varies from one man to the next, though the doctor can determine the proper dosage. Some side effects are possible, including nasal congestion, headaches, backache, upset stomach, and an erection that will not go away.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
ED caused by low levels of the hormone testosterone may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy. Doctors often recommend this as a first- step in ED treatment that’s used in connection with other forms of treatment. TRT improves the signs and symptoms of erectile dysfunction and a plethora of additional benefits ranging from improved muscle tone to better sleep. It takes two or three days for TRT results to take effect and men need treatments every 7 – 21 days.
Penis Pumps
Doctors recommend penis pumps when oral medications or other treatments prove ineffective. A penis pump is a device that is placed over the penis and ‘pumped’ to increase blood flow in this region to cause an erection. After he gets an erection, a tension ring is then placed over the penis to hold blood in the area to keep the penis firm. This isn’t a permanent solution, but instead a temporary solution for couples who want to have sex.
Penile Implants
Not every man is a suitable candidate for a penile implant, but many men are. This surgical procedure involves placing special devices on each side of the penis. The implanted devices contain bendable rods that allow the penis to bend but still keep it firm. Penile implants aren’t the first treatment option for most men but instead used with oral medications and other treatments fail.
Counseling
Stress can cause ED, but that’s one of many psychological concerns that may contribute to this problem. Depression, anxiety, and even problems within the relationship can cause issues that you simply need to talk about with someone. When you get it all out in the open and relieve yourself of the burdens that it’s caused, you can get back to life and getting those erections that make life great.
Exercise
Doctors usually recommend lifestyle changes to men who experience ED. Among those changes is the addition of more exercise. Studies prove that exercise helps erectile dysfunction, although living an active lifestyle offers a plethora of additional perks as well. Not every man experiences the same results from exercise, but it’s always good to add it to your list in anticipation of improved ED signs and symptoms.
Alternative Treatments
Be careful about any alternative treatment that you choose to use as an ED treatment, since some may not be safe. Check with your doctor before using an alternative treatment to ensure that its suitable for your needs. Avoid any herbal supplements or promises that sound too good to be true because they can ultimately be dangerous to your health.
Lifestyle Changes
Most doctors agree that men must make lifestyle changes to improve erectile dysfunction. If you smoke, stop. Help is available for anyone that wants to stop smoking. If you use alcohol or drugs, get help. Excessive drinking and drug use can worsen erectile dysfunction and cause other long-term health problems. If you’ve just started a new medication and ED occurred, talk to your doctors, since some medications may cause the problem.
