request an appointmentErectile dysfunction occurs when a man is unable to maintain an erection rigid enough to allow him to successfully complete sexual intercourse. Unfortunately, it is no longer thought to be a condition only of older men. “ Large multinational studies have estimated the prevalence of ED in young men to be as high as 30%.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28642047/
Like most medical conditions, it’s easier to treat erectile dysfunction in the earlier stages. The longer a man has had erectile dysfunction, the more challenging it is to restore sexual health. This is especially true for regenerative forms of treatment, such as with shockwave therapy.
Some men will convince themselves that they do not suffer from erectile dysfunction, because they have partial erections. They may be depriving themselves and their partner of enjoying the pleasure of a mutually satisfying relationship.
Erectile dysfunction can have a profound effect upon a man’s social habits. Dating is hard enough for guys without having to worry about whether their erection will be cooperative. Similarly, erectile dysfunction often results in couples experiencing a loss of intimacy which is nearly impossible to replace. It’s the elephant in the room that creates an uncomfortable tension that won’t go away.
What causes ED?
There are many potential causes including advanced age, diabetes, and vascular disease. The most common direct cause of ED is vascular insufficiency, which means that there is not enough blood getting to the paired corpora cavernosa. Lifestyle changes including the cessation of smoking, proper diet, reduction of obesity, exercise and adequate sleep are always strongly encouraged as a first step.
Erectile Dysfunction is almost always treatable
Your ED specialist can diagnose your condition after reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle habits. They may recommend that you complete blood tests, imaging procedures, or other diagnostic tests to detect or rule out any additional medical problems.
How is erectile dysfunction treated?
There are multiple forms of treatment, which can be divided into two categories.
Treatment of the Symptoms
Pills like Viagra, Levitra, Cialis and Stendra do not cure the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction. Pills tend to work great, at first. Unfortunately, since they do not address the root cause, which is usually an occlusion of the blood vessels, eventually they almost always become less effective. Almost half of all patients who take the pills are bothered by side effects. Most men would prefer to avoid having to take a pill. When pills stop working, patients can turn to injections, pellets in the urethra, pumps, or surgery.
Correction of the Underlying Cause
When asked what form of treatment they would prefer for themselves, three out of four men’s sexual health experts prefer low intensity shockwave therapy.
