Being diagnosed with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) truly harms your physical and mental health. Luckily, there is a range of available, effective treatments for ED that you can choose from. As you consider the different kinds of treatment options available to you, be sure to talk them over with your doctor.

What Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Options are Available?

ED Drugs 

There are certain medications such as Levitra, Viagra and Cialis that stimulate blood flow to the penis and enable you to achieve an erection. 

Keep in mind that these drugs aren’t for everyone and can interfere with other medications you may be taking. This can have a negative impact on your health. However, there are a number of other prescription medications that also do the same. 

Psychotherapy and Physical Therapy

If the causes of your ED are more psychological, then psychotherapy can be highly beneficial for you. A common method would be Cognitive-behavioral therapy, due to the fact that it helps address negative thought patterns that might cause performance anxiety. 

Working with a physical therapist can also be beneficial. You can see if kegel exercises can bring relief to your ED. Trying them out yourself is also an option.

Vacuum Constriction Devices 

Using a vacuum constriction device as an oral-medication alternative can allow you to obtain an erection using vacuum pressure. A plastic cylinder is placed over the penis, and a pump (either manual or battery operated) creates a vacuum suction within the cylinder, drawing blood into the penis to create an erection. What happens after developing an erection is a constriction band is then placed around the base of the penis to keep that erection. 

Surgical Treatment

Compared to all of the ED treatments, surgery is one of the most invasive. The doctors may surgically implant Inflatable devices or malleable rods on either side of the penis to help achieve an erection. 

After it’s activated, you’ll be able to keep an erection for as long as you wish to. For this to happen you’ll need a surgical procedure by a physician, preferably a urologist with the proper skills and training in penile prosthetics. 

Lifestyle Changes 

There are certain lifestyle factors including obesity, lack of exercise and an unhealthy diet that play a role in ED. Make healthy lifestyle changes to help resolve the conditions that could be causing your symptoms.
