07 March, 2023 | Camran Khan
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can have a significant
impact on a person's sexual relationship and self-esteem. It can lead to
difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection during sexual activity, which
can cause frustration and anxiety for both partners.
However, there are several effective treatments
for ED that can help improve sexual function and satisfaction, ultimately
helping you please your loved one. These treatments include:
Oral
medications
Medications like sildenafil
(Viagra), tadalafil
(Cialis), and vardenafil
(Levitra) are commonly prescribed for ED. They work by increasing blood
flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection.
These medications belong to a class of drugs called inhibitors. They work by
relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of the blood vessels in the penis,
increasing blood flow to the area and causing an erection. These medications
should be taken approximately 30 minutes to an hour before sexual activity and
can last for up to 4-5 hours and the most important thing to know is that they
are typically effective in about 70% of men with ED
Vacuum devices
A vacuum device is a tube that is placed
over the penis, creating a vacuum that draws blood into the penis and causes an
erection. The erection is maintained by a constriction band that is placed
around the base of the penis which draws blood into the area, producing an
erection. Here's how actually they
they work:
A vacuum device consists of a plastic cylinder that is placed over the penis a
pump attached to the cylinder creates a vacuum, which draws blood into the
penis. Once an erection is achieved, a constriction band is placed around the
base of the penis to maintain the erection. The band is removed after sexual
activity is completed. If we see the other side
Vacuum devices are typically effective in about 50-80% of men with ED. Vacuum
devices are generally safe and well-tolerated, but they may cause some
discomfort or bruising. It's important to use the device as directed and talk
to a healthcare provider if you experience any side effects. Overall, vacuum
devices can be an effective and non-invasive treatment
option for ED, especially for men who cannot take or do not want to take
oral medications. However, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider to
determine if a vacuum device is a right choice for you and to discuss proper
use and potential side effects
Penile
injections
Penile injections, also known as intracavernosal injections, are a safe
and effective
treatment option for Erectile Dysfunction (ED). These injections involve
injecting medication directly into the penis to produce an erection. Here's how
they work:
The medication used for the injection is typically alprostadil,
which is a vasodilator that relaxes the blood vessels in the penis,
increasing blood flow to the area. A very small needle is used to inject the
medication directly into the side of the penis.The injection typically produces
an erection within 5 to 20 minutes that can last for up to an hour mostly the
injection can be repeated once or twice a week as needed.
Penile injections are typically effective in 70-80% of men with ED, even in
cases where oral medications have been ineffective.
Penile
implants
Penile implants, also known as penile prostheses, are a surgical option for the
treatment
of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). They are typically used when other treatment
options such as oral medications or vacuum devices have been ineffective. There
are two main types of penile implants: inflatable implants and malleable
implants.
Inflatable implants consist of two cylinders that are
placed inside the penis, a pump that is placed in the scrotum, and a reservoir
that is implanted in the abdomen. The cylinders are filled with saline
solution, which creates an erection when the pump is activated. Malleable
implants consist of two bendable rods that are placed inside the penis. The
rods can be bent into position for sexual activity and then returned to their
original position when not in use. The surgery typically takes about an hour
and is done under general or spinal anesthesia. Penile implants can provide a
reliable and long-lasting solution for ED, with a success rate of up to 90%.
It is important to note that penile implants carry risks
such as infection, erosion of the implant, or mechanical failure. They are also
irreversible, meaning that they cannot be removed once implanted.
Overall, penile implants can be a safe and effective
treatment option for ED, especially for men who have not responded to other
treatments. It's important to talk to your healthcare provider about which
treatment option is right for you. They can help you determine the underlying
cause of your ED and recommend the best course of treatment. In addition to
medical treatment, there are also several lifestyle changes that can help
improve sexual function, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising
regularly, reducing stress, and quitting smoking.
By seeking treatment for
ED and making lifestyle changes, you can improve your sexual function
and satisfaction, ultimately helping you please your loved one.
The use of sildenafil,
tadalafil,
avanafil,
and vardenafil
for the treatment of premature ejaculation is not licensed by regulatory
agencies such as MHRA . These medications are primarily indicated for
the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
There is some limited evidence to suggest that these
medications may have some benefit in treating premature ejaculation, but as you
noted, much of this evidence is speculative and anecdotal. More research is
needed to determine the safety and efficacy of these medications specifically
for the treatment of premature ejaculation.
It's important to note that premature ejaculation is a
complex condition with many potential underlying causes, and treatment options
may vary depending on the individual. If you are experiencing premature
ejaculation, it's recommended that you speak with a healthcare professional who
can help determine the best treatment approach for you.
