|
Erectile dysfunction is also known as impotence. Impotence or erectile dysfunction is not considered a normal part of aging, and men of all ages are affected by Erectile dysfunction or Impotence. To have symptoms of Erectile dysfunction 1 time out of every 5 sexual encounters is considered normal to most physicians. However, if the symptoms of Erectile dysfunction such as not being able to achieve or keep an erection are found, they should always be reported to a doctor. Erectile dysfunction has many treatments available, of which your doctor will help you to decide which will work best for your situation. The first treatment for Erectile dysfunction most all doctors will suggest is the penis pumps or ED pumps. Penis pumps or ED pumps are a natural way of attaining an erection. The penis is inserted into a sleeve and tube, and the tube has plastic tubing connecting it to the pump. The pump is then used to remove the air from the tube and creates an erection. Constriction rings are then placed at the base of the penis to keep the erection after removing the pump. Other Erectile dysfunction treatments include medications such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis; all of which have side effects and restrictions on who can take them based on prior medical history. Therefore the medications cannot be taken by all men. Surgical options such as the penile implant are available, or redirection of blood vessels to create an erection is also an option. These options however have fewer participants due to the strict guidelines, cost and restrictions on health and medical history. Pumps tend to be the most popular and the most successful noninvasive option for ED. Pumps can be bought without a prescription through many online and offline stores, and your doctor can suggest models or requirements for your situation. |
