Erectile dysfunction is the condition in which the men are unable to get the erection or to hold the erection for the sufficient time during the sexual intercourse. According to the latest survey, 70% of the men in the world suffer from the erectile dysfunction. All the men like to perform well in the bed, but if they fail to do it, they feel ashamed of themselves. As a result of erectile dysfunction, men tend to lose their self-esteem and confidence in social life. Because of erectile dysfunction men start feeling that they are unable to satisfy their partner’s sexual demands, and certainly start losing interest in life.
Men don’t get unsatisfied, the good news is here, “Erectile Dysfunction is 100% curable.” Yes, it is true that with the help of proper treatment under the doctor’s guidance erectile dysfunction can be treated and you can get back your harder and long-lasting erection. Treatments through which erectile dysfunction can be treated are categorized into two types i.e. Surgical treatment and nonsurgical treatment.
Surgical treatments
Surgical treatment is done by reconstructing the arteries in the penis to increase the blood flow, which results in the long-lasting erections. Suppose if the person is failing to get the erection then surgery is done by implanting the prosthetic device in the penis. As result you start getting the erection. Sometimes even the veins in the penis which allows the blood to flow out the penis are blocked with the help of surgery and thus, you are able to hold the erection for the longer time.
Different types of surgical treatments are as follows:
1. Penile implants
A device in inserted in the penis which helps to get the erection. All the men using this surgery had expressed their satisfaction.
2. Semirigid or Malleable Rod Implants
In this surgery, two semirigid or malleable rods are inserted in the penis with the help of surgery and this provides the proper hard erection. Success rate is 70% to 80%.
3. Inflatable Implants
The most expensive treatment with the lots of risk involved. This treatment is not advisable. In this treatment, a pump in placed in scrotum, two cylinders are placed in penis, and a reservoir is placed in the cylinders or separately below the tissues of the lower abdomen. This all parts function together and give you the erection. But, rate of failure is quite high in this treatment.
4. Vascular Reconstructive Surgery
Surgery is done to either reconstruct the arteries in the penis or to block the veins which supply blood out of the penis. This surgery is found to be effective in 90% of the cases.
Nonsurgical Treatments
Nonsurgical treatments are found to be more effective and risk free as compared to the surgical. Doctors always prefer nonsurgical treatment over the surgical treatments.
Nonsurgical treatments are very cheaper when compared with the surgical treatments. Nonurgical treatments also follow the same method for treatment of the erectile dysfunction i.e. to increase the blood flow to the penis and stop the blood flow out of the penis.
Different types of nonsurgical treatments are as follows:
1. Vacuum Devices
Treatment through vacuum devices consists of a cylinder that is place over the penis, which pumps out the air out of the penis and allows the more amount of blood to flow into the penis. The treatment is very cheap and effective. Side-effects are pain, numbness, and pulling of scrotal tissue into the cylinder.
2. Drugs
Oral drugs are found to be best medication on the erectile dysfunction. Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra are found to be the doctor’s and customer’s choice all over the world. These are found to be most effective against the erectile dysfunction. Side-effects of these drugs are headache, temporary changes in the vision, and nasal congestion. Heart attacks were also found in 1% of the users.
3. Penile Injection Therapy
This therapy includes the injecting the drugs in liquid form directly into the penis. TriMix, Alprostadil, papaverine are the most common drugs injected in the penis to treat erectile dysfunction. Success rate observed is 90%.
4. Hormonal Therapy
I
Lower concentration of the testosterone is found in majority of men suffering from the erectile dysfunction. But erectile dysfunction can not be treated by increasing the level of testosterone. So, levels of testosterone are increased in combination with some other treatment of erectile dysfunction to show the good results.
5. Intraurethral Pellet Therapy
In Intraurethral pellet therapy the drug, Alprostadil, is formulated into a small suppository and this suppository is inserted into the urethra, the canal through which urine and semen are excreted. The drug starts its effect and treats erectile dysfunction. Side-effects of this therapy are pain in the area where pellet is distributed and sometimes bleeding is also observed.
Hence, we can conclude that nonsurgical treatment is much more effective than the surgical treatment in the treatment of the erectile dysfunction.
