Treatment
Erectile dysfunction can be treated
successfully, so there is no reason
that any man suffering from this
condition may not enjoy a fulfilling
and intimate relationship with their
partner.
Once
a cause has been established, a
treatment program can be initiated.
Because there are often several
reasons contributing to a man’s
impotence, a combination of
treatments is usually adopted.
Treatments available are:
1.Changing prescription medication
if it is determined to be the cause
2.External vacuum devices
3.Intracavernous injections
4.Hormone therapy
5.Oral medications, (e.g. Viagra,
other)
6.Psychotherapy and counseling
7.Penile prosthetic implants
8.Improving sleep and relaxation
(most common cause in middle-aged
men is tiredness)
If
you believe you may be suffering
from erectile dysfunction please
contact a medical professional
immediately. A physician will be
able to properly inform you on
available options and direct you to
a specialist who can more accurately
diagnose your condition and help
build you a treatment program.
