Erectile Dysfunction

The Importance of Getting Treatment
Although it can be an uncomfortable topic for men, erectile dysfunction is extremely common. This is especially true in men ages 40-70 years of age. The most prevalent cause of the disorder is vascular disease, which leads to narrowing of the arteries and decreased blood flow. Additional factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction. Among those are, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, physiological effects and prostate cancer.

It’s important to see a medical professional if you are experiencing difficulty with getting and maintaining an erection. It’s not just about your sexual health; it’s about your entire body and deciphering the reason that you are experiencing these issues.

Once your overall health is evaluated, treating the symptoms of erectile dysfunction vary depending on your circumstances. Listed below are the most common treatment options available:

• Medications
• Vacuum Pump
• Penile Injections
• Inflatable Penile Implants

Medications involve prescriptions that are designed to increase blood flow to the penis, and also to help relax the muscles and arterial lining.
