Erectile dysfunction is a condition which many men suffer from as they get older. It’s one of two conditions which the internet claims to be able to cure more than any other (the other being baldness) and it can cause men a great deal of anxiety. The condition can occur for all sorts of different reasons. Anxiety, stress, depression, blood flow issues and even some environmental stimuli can affect a man’s ability to get and then hold an erection. For many the case may simply be that the penis doesn’t get fully erect and for others it may be more severe. Regardless of the cause and the effect, there is a vast assortment of different treatments on the market today for erectile dysfunction:
Pills – The most common erectile dysfunction pill is Viagra but there are a broad variety of different kinds on offer. They work by stimulating the blood flow to the penis through a reaction which relaxes the smooth muscles in the penis and allows more blood to enter it.
Injections – These are generally only prescribed when oral medications (pills) fail to have the desired effect. The injections generally occur in the penis and this can put a lot of people off.
Suppositories – This method is used by men who don’t like the thought of a needle in their penis but for whom pills have no effect. It involves inserting a tube into the urethra and using a drug called MUSE. This drug is absorbed directly into the penis but as it’s not put straight into the blood stream it’s not considered as effective as the injections are.
Penis Pumps – Though they may seem quite amusing, the penis pump is actually an incredibly effective, non-invasive way to treat erectile dysfunction. Removing the air from the tube forces blood into the penis which helps to achieve erection.
