Erectile Dysfunction / Impotence is categorized on OnlineMedicalTourism.com as within the class of procedures known as Urology. This procedure is sometimes also referred to as ED..
Erectile Dysfunction / Impotence (click for worldwide facilities list): Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to maintain a firm erection long enough to have sex. Although erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, this common problem can occur at any age.

Erectile dysfunction treatments ranging from medications to surgery can help restore sexual function for most men. Sometimes erectile dysfunction is caused by an underlying condition such as heart disease. So it's important to take erectile trouble seriously because it can be a sign of a more serious health problem.

If your doctor suspects that physical causes are involved, blood tests will be taken to check levels of male hormones and for other potential medical problems, such as diabetes. Your doctor may also want to try eliminating or replacing certain prescription drugs you're taking one at a time to see whether any are responsible for erectile dysfunction.

More specialized tests may include: ultrasound, neurological evaluation, Dynamic infusion cavernosometry and cavernosography (DICC), or nocturnal tumescence test.

A variety of options exist for treating erectile dysfunction. They range from medications and simple mechanical devices to surgery and psychological counseling. The cause and severity of your condition are important factors in determining the best treatment or combination of treatments for you.

Oral medications: Although these medications can help many people, not all men can or should take them to treat erectile dysfunction. Don't expect these medications to fix your erectile dysfunction immediately.
Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra)

Prostaglandin E (alprostadil)
There are two treatments (needle-injection therapy and a self-administered intraurethral therapy) involved using a drug called alprostadil. Alprostadil is a synthetic version of the hormone prostaglandin E. The hormone helps relax muscle tissue in the penis, which enhances the blood flow needed for an erection.

Hormone replacement therapy is for the small number of men who have testosterone deficiency.

Penis pumps involves the use of a hollow tube with a hand-powered or battery-powered pump that creates a vacuum that pulls blood into the penis. A tension ring around the base of your penis allows it to maintain the erection.

Vascular surgery is usually reserved for men whose blood flow has been blocked by an injury to the penis or pelvic area. Surgery may also be used to correct erectile dysfunction caused by vascular blockages.

Penile implants involves surgically placing a device into the two sides of the penis, allowing erection to occur as often and for as long as desired. The inflatable device allows you to control when and how long you have an erection.

Psychological counseling and sex therapy
