This is pretty harsh to say - most erectile dysfunction cases are rather incurable but it doesn’t mean that it cannot be treated effectively to reduce the seriousness degree of the dysfunction and to avoid long lasting difficulty. 70% of erectile dysfunction cases are physiological in nature while the rest 30% are usually caused by psychological factors including chronic stress and severe depression. Read more on Erectile Dysfunction and its categories.

Doctors may have in store for several methods of curbing, avoiding and controlling this problem since the usual erectile dysfunction are temporary and not long lasting.

.

These erectile dysfunction treatment methods include:-

.

Oral medication

The most common solution for doctors to give out to ED patients are oral medications which come in many different forms and kinds, as suited to the respective individuals. Your doctor should be able to diagnose you and tell you what is the most suitable oral medication for you, taking into account your other health conditions and risk, allergies as such. The most famous one was probably Viagra but many of these oral medications also have adverse side effects like nausea and dizziness, therefore it is strictly advisable to consume it as prescribed. The latest addition to this type of treatment is a medicinal drug called as ‘Apomorphine’ that reacts with the brain to stimulate sexual desires. All of oral medications for ED are not over the counter product and under strict control by the Health Ministry.

.

Injection therapy medication

ED medicine in liquid form are injected directly into the male private organs to enable it to achieve erection but there are also negative side effects such as occasional prolonged erection, and some obvious scar around the male private organs. The injection can be rather painful as well.

.

Vacuum constriction device

This method is basically safe to use but cannot be used for more than 30 minutes because the male reproductive organs may become cold and painful. Vacuum constriction device is an external pump consists of acrylic cylinder and a constriction band. The pump is attached directly to the end of the male private organs. This equipment is used to create vacuum to help in achieving erection and the band is used to help maintain the erection.

.

Acupuncture

Originally a traditional Chinese therapy for nerve functions as such and is now more widely used in treating Erectile Dysfunction. Acupuncture is able to stimulate the body’s ability to resist and overcome illness, addressing and fixing problematic nerve functions and thus replenishing balance into our bodily system.

.

Vascular reconstructive surgery

Surgery will probably be your last resort, since it often times not very much recommended, even by doctors and physician. Another thing is that it is very costly for the pain and risky with quite a long duration of recovery. Vascular reconstructive surgery was supposed to improve the blood supply to the main reproductive organs in order to get and maintain erection. Only a small group of people are suitable to this solution, particularly young men suffering from ED as a result of trauma or a single or two damaged blood vessel that occurred as a result of a pelvic or genital injury.

.

Sexual therapy

This is a much more appropriate treatment with people with ED caused by psychological factors. So if a person falls under this category, it is best to see a registered sex therapist or other mental and psychological health professionals.

.

Nutritional and Herbal supplements

This treatment by right falls under the oral medication treatment and just like its name suggest - it works as supplement. One thing about dietary supplements, it do not only address physical aspects of a disease, but psychological as well. For example increasing libido and reducing cortisol, the stress hormone. Nutritional supplements are inclusive of amino acid arginine, bioflavonoids, Zinc, Vitamin E and C, where as herbal supplements includes Asian ginseng and Gingko Biloba.

.

However, the first thing you should do when you notice you’re having the syndromes of Erectile Dysfunction is to consult a doctor, before you actually undergo any sort of treatment on your own. But things like proper and healthy diet and exercising are not something that you should do only when you’re told to. Remember to see your doctor and get the best and suitable treatment of erectile dysfunction that you’re having before it gets worse.
