Almost nobody suffers from erectile dysfunction
Do you think you are the only one having complexity occasionally getting things up? Take note of this: about 1 in 7 men have ED and they do not all live in a retirement home. Erectile dysfunction occurs amongst men of all ages. Although the chance of struggling with this disorder is greater if you are older, younger men can also suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction can’t be treated
Fortunately, this is a misunderstanding! ED is often fairly simple to treat. A few examples:
Erection pills such as Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis & Spedra are used to make sure that the blood vessels in the genitals dilate; allowing more blood flow in this area and the penis become stiff and will stay this way for a longer period of time.
If erection pills do not work, then there is still no reason to panic. Erection problems can also be treated in other ways:
Mechanical tools- Many men benefit from a vacuum pump, also called a ‘penis pump’. This device ensures that the blood is guided to the penis so that it becomes stiff. Another usually used tool is erectile dysfunction ring. This ensures that the blood cannot flow back out of the penis so that the erection persists.
Injection therapy– If you do not want to/can not take medication, you can inject an erection agent locally through a pipette or a very thin needle. The advantage of this therapy is that there is no reaction time and that there is less risk of side effects.
Erectile prosthesis- erection prosthesis is an implant that is applied by means of a process in the penis. Thanks to the prosthesis, the penis can be erected by means of a pump or manually.
