Before you can begin treatment for erectile dysfunction, you will need to go
to your doctor for a physical examination. There are many preexisting conditions
that can cause erectile dysfunction, and different treatments work for different
conditions.
Prescription Medications
In recent years, prescription medications such as Viagra have played a huge
role in treating male impotence. What used to only be accomplished by an
injection of Alprostadil can now be accomplished by swallowing a pill. These
medications all work by allowing more blood to flow through the penis, thus
making it much easier for a male with erectile dysfunction to achieve an
erection. These medications have the added benefit of being less painful than a
shot, and unlike the shot erections only occur when a man is sexually aroused.
Psychotherapy
Some doctors estimate that as much as 80% of erectile dysfunction cases are
related to psychological issues such as anxiety. If your doctor feels that your
erectile dysfunction is psychological disorder you will most likely be referred
to a psychologist or psychotherapist for treatment.
Vacuum Devices
Vacuum devices work by forcing blood to flow into the penis, thus causing an
erection. Before the advent of prescription medications, vacuum
devices where a very common treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Penile Implants
In some cases of male impotence, the best treatment may be a prosthetic
penile implant. The implants cause an erection by inflating or by remaining
semi-rigid. Penile implants are one of the most technologically advanced
treatments for erectile dysfunction.
Herbal Remedies
In recent years a number of herbal
erectile dysfunction remedies have become available on the market.
Surprisingly, some of these treatments have proven to be very effective in
treating ED.
Vascular Surgery
In cases where impotence is caused by obstructed arteries vascular surgery
may be required in order to restore blood flow. The surgery is a fairly safe and
highly effective treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Conclusion
There are many different causes for erectile dysfunction, and just as many
different treatment options available. There is no single treatment that works
for every specific situation. That is why it is critical to have your doctor
perform a thorough examination before deciding on the treatment option that is
right for you.
