Treatment for erectile dysfunction

Treatment for erectile dysfunction depends on whether the hitch is caused by psychological or physical factors, or in a amalgamation of these. Even if erectile dysfunction has a physical cause, it frequently has unpleasant psychological effects that formulate the problem shoddier and treatment more problematical. The following treatments have a logical chance of success:

• Corrective surgery in case of penile curvature (Peyronie's disease) and trauma
• Treatment to modify reversible causes
• Hormone replacement with male hormone testosterone
• Change in recent medication e.g. blood pressure medication

First-line treatment

• Oral treatment
• Vacuum constriction devices
• Psychosexual therapy

Second-line treatment

ntra-cavernosal injection therapy

Third-line therapy

• Surgery (prosthesis)

The smallest amount invasive treatment should be well thought-out first. Non-surgical treatments work for 60-70% of men and may possibly make surgery needless. Even though treatments like injections are successful more than 80% of the time, up to 60% of men may ultimately plummet out of treatment. Sometimes, once men can get an erection again, they realise they have overvalued its significance in their relationships. They may make a decision that the annoyance or cost of the treatment is not worth the effort for the cause of Erectile Dysfunction.
