Men seeking treatment for their erectile dysfunction should seek advice from healthcare professionals, such as doctors. A healthcare provider can identify the root cause of an individual's ED and prescribe appropriate treatment solutions.
Health conditions that may contribute to erectile dysfunction include diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and obesity. Certain medications, including antidepressants and pain relievers may also exacerbate ED symptoms.
Medications
Prescription medicines can provide significant assistance with erectile dysfunction. These medicines work by augmenting the effects of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels within your penis to enable an erection response to sexual stimulation.
As most ED pills like Staxyn and Viagra must be taken orally, be sure to inform your physician if you take nitrate drugs for heart disease or any other medications as these could reduce blood pressure dangerously when combined with an ED medication.
If oral ED medications don't help, NYU Langone doctors may suggest an injection of alprostadil (Caverject, Edex). Your physician will instruct you how to inject yourself with the needle that comes included with the medication kit; an intraurethral suppository may also be inserted through an opening in your penis.
Be wary of alternative medicines such as dietary supplements and herbal remedies that purport to treat erectile dysfunction; such products aren't FDA-approved, potentially leading to dangerous side effects.
Sex therapy
An enjoyable sex life is vital to both physical and emotional wellness, yet can often be hindered by depression, anxiety or relationship difficulties. Sex therapy helps identify factors contributing to these problems so you can lessen their impact and enjoy a fulfilling sexual life.
Psychotherapy or counseling combined with sex therapy is often recommended. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), also known as the "talking cure", will enable your therapist to help swap out negative thoughts with more useful ones and teach relaxation exercises for anxiety relief. You can visit sex therapy alone, with your partner or in groups - research suggests it's more effective if both partners participate from the beginning in sessions. Most health insurance plans cover these services but be sure to verify this for your particular plan before heading in - alternatively you might also consider finding a sex therapist through Telehealth options which allow meeting them from within shabab awar ke fayde environment.
Vacuum pumps
Vacuum pumps (also referred to as penis pumps) use air suction to help men achieve and sustain an erection. While vacuum pumps do not treat ED directly, they can be combined with other treatments or oral medications to enhance sexual function and help people reach sexual satisfaction more quickly.
A clear plastic tube is placed over the penis and connected to either a motorized or hand-operated pump, creating low-pressure vacuum that causes blood vessels to close off, leading to an erection. A tension ring holds it in place.
Penis pumps can be found online and at specialty stores, but obtaining one through CU's urologists is the safest way. Their experts will offer advice and instruction about which device will best meet your needs based on existing conditions like priapism or Peyronie's disease.
Lifestyle changes
Men with ED may find that lifestyle modifications help alleviate symptoms. Furthermore, many of these changes also make them healthier overall - it's an win-win scenario!
Lifestyle changes include weight loss, eating more fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, lowering stress levels and getting enough rest.
Erectile dysfunction is often the result of changes to blood flow to the penis, often as a result of age or disease that restricts it. But some men experience difficulties due to medications they're taking such as diuretics (water pills), alpha-blockers, nitrates, cholesterol meds, sedatives, antidepressants or drugs used for treating prostate cancer or depression.
PDE5 inhibitors such as Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil), can assist two-thirds of men suffering from erectile dysfunction. These medicines increase blood flow to the penis while improving performance; however, some individuals with certain health conditions such as liver disease or previous stroke mardana kamzori ka gharelu ilaj.
