Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. ED could be a primary indicator of cardiovascular illness, indicating that blockages are forming in a man's vascular system. According to certain research, men with ED are at a higher risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or circulation disorders in the legs.

Symptoms

Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:

• Trouble getting an erection
• Trouble keeping an erection
• Reduced sexual desire Tests and Treatment

Tests for underlying conditions might include:

• Physical exam.
• Blood tests.
• Urine tests (urinalysis).
• Ultrasound.

Non-invasive treatments are often tried first. Such treatments include:

• Oral drugs or pills
• Testosterone Therapy
• Penile Injections
• Intraurethral medication
• Vacuum Erection Devices
• Penile Implants Surgical Treatment

The main surgical treatment of ED involves insertion of a penile implant (also called penile prostheses). Penile implants are devices that are completely implanted inside your body. They make a stiff penis that allows you to have normal sex.

There are two types of penile implants:

• Semi rigid Implant (Bendable)
• Inflatable Implant

While penile vascular surgery is not indicated for elderly males who have failed oral PDE5 inhibitors, ICI, or IU treatments, implants are the next step for these patients.
