Ignoring it can lead to more serious complications over time. Seeking timely treatment and appropriate ED medications can not only improve sexual health but also help in detecting and managing potential health risks early.

    Here is a list of some of the serious complications related to erectile dysfunction:

  • Unsatisfactory sex life or not getting pleasure during intercourse

  • Other relationship or marital difficulties
  • Low self-esteem or embarrassment
  • Relationship stress

  • It can also have some psychological problems like:

  • Anxiety
  • Low confidence
  • Depression
  • Diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction

    • Physical examination: The first step of erectile dysfunction treatment is diagnosis. Initially, it includes careful examination of the penis and checking nerve sensation.
    • Blood tests: In the second step of erectile dysfunction treatment, a blood sample is sent to a laboratory to check for signs of diabetes, heart disease, low testosterone levels, and other underlying health issues.
    • Ultrasound: This step in erectile dysfunction treatment involves using a transducer (wand-like device) over the blood vessels of the penis. It creates a video image to help specialists identify blood flow issues. In some cases, this test is combined with drug injections into the penis to stimulate blood flow and induce an erection.
    • Urine Tests (Urinalysis): The final step before beginning erectile dysfunction treatment is a urinalysis. This test helps detect signs of underlying health conditions that may contribute to erectile dysfunction.
    • Psychological Exam: The specialist asks relevant questions to assess whether depression or other psychological factors are contributing to erectile dysfunction and prescribes the appropriate treatment accordingly.

    Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Options

    Surgical Treatment or Penile Implants:

    This surgery is performed to bypass penile artery injury in younger men with a history of severe pelvic trauma. However, penile vascular surgery is not recommended for older men with damaged nerves or hardened arteries. Below are the various erectile dysfunction treatment options:

    Non-Invasive Treatments:

  • Pills or oral drugs, called phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors.
  • Shock wave Lithotripsy
  • Penile injections (intracavernosal, ICI, alprostadil)
  • Testosterone Therapy (if low testosterone is detected in the blood test).
  • Vacuum Erection Devices
  • Testosterone Therapy: In rare cases with low testosterone levels and low sex drive, Testosterone Therapy is done to fix normal erections, along with PDE type 5 inhibitors drugs.
  • Vacuum Erection Device: It is a plastic tube that is fixed over the penis to seal it with the skin. A pump at another end of this tube makes a low-pressure vacuum around the erectile tissues, resulting in the erection.
  • Urethra (IU) and Intracavernosal (ICI) Therapies: If oral drugs don’t work, the drug Alprostadil is prescribed. This comes in two types, depending on the condition: intracavernosal injection (called “ICI”) and through the urethra (called “IU therapy”).
