Can erectile dysfunction be cured?
March 10, 2022
Generally speaking, yes. Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to attain or maintain an erection adequate for the sexual satisfaction of both partners. Depending on the cause, erectile dysfunction (ED) can be cured or well managed after an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment regime, but some causes of ED are much easier to cure than others. Unfortunately suffering silently behind closed doors doesn’t help and often leads to feelings that there is nothing you can do to reverse the disease process.
Although an estimated 50% of men above the age of 40 suffer from ED, the majority do not pursue any kind of permanent solution.
Nonetheless, organic erectile dysfunction involving arterial abnormalities and blood flow is usually treatable without the need for ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis). Since erectile dysfunction is both a medical condition and a symptom of other physical and neurological conditions, it is helpful to know what is causing your performance issues before determining the best treatment options. Dr. Earl Eye has over 40 years of experience in providing surgery-free and pill-free ED treatment options.
Maybe it's time to see a men’s health provider?
For a man to have erection problems from time to time is not necessarily a cause for concern but failing to address any male sexual health issue can cause stress, impact their self-confidence, and lead to more serious relationship problems. Most times, conducting a thorough diagnosis to identify underlying conditions provides enough information for a men’s health provider to reverse erectile dysfunction. In other cases, a treatment regimen may be prescribed using the latest medical technologies like shock wave therapy. There are numerous reasons for erectile problems, but the primary cause of organic ED is the lack of blood flow to the vessels of the penis. However, organic etiologies can also include vascular issues, neurogenic problems, side effects from medications, penile curvature (Peyronie’s Disease), and endocrinologic sources like Diabetes.
Science Behind the latest Pill-Free ED Treatment
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials using low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy for treating erectile dysfunction was reported in a clinical study published in International Journal of Impotence Research in 2019. Researchers concluded that their meta-analysis provided results showing that low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy significantly improved erectile function in patients with vasculogenic ED. This is the most common physical cause of erectile dysfunction that occurs when the arteries and/or veins that bring blood to and from the penis, respectively, are not functioning correctly due to blockages, narrowing, or other physiological causes. A follow-up report published in Cureus in November 2020 referenced studies by independent researchers and concluded that shock wave therapy is a reliable treatment option and demonstrates short-term efficacy with positive outcomes in patients experiencing mild to moderate ED.
Once, it was thought that erectile dysfunction was caused by normal aging, but ED is not normal at any age. Today, the medical community is united in its belief that there is no reason getting older should prohibit an active sex life. Since low-intensity shockwave therapy relies on soundwaves to increase blood flow in the penis, there is no need for invasive surgery or expensive medications to treat men suffering with mild to moderate conditions. In addition, sound waves applied to the penis can stimulate the growth of new blood vessels as well as help to breakdown the build-up of plaque in penile vessels. Since low blood flow is most often the root cause of ED, wave therapy helps to produce more spontaneous erections for improved sexual performance. A typical treatment regimen is six treatments over a six-week period. Since other factors like stress, sleep disturbance, and hormonal changes can cause erectile problems, seek the advice of a doctor that specializes in men’s sexual health.
