Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common problem for many men, particularly as they get older. In fact, erectile dysfunction affects about 50% of males over the age of 40. Oral medications like sildenafil are often the first treatment option for erection problems. However, they don’t work for everyone and usually have side effects. They only offer short term relief and do not address the root causes of erectile dysfunction. Fortunately, Pollock Clinics offers advanced treatment options providing longer-lasting solutions than ED pills.
Before exploring alternative erectile dysfunction treatments, let’s discuss the limitations of ED pills. Though they may work for some, they often cause headaches, flushed skin, upset stomach, and can interact with prescription drugs. The pills don’t treat the underlying cause of ED, like poor blood flow or psychological factors. They are only a temporary fix to get an erection, which is not ideal for men looking for a more permanent solution.
Shockwave Therapy uses low-intensity acoustic waves to increase blood flow to the penis. These waves stimulate growth of new blood vessels, which improve erectile dysfunction symptoms. This ED treatment modality is non-invasive, pain-free, and requires no downtime. Shockwave Therapy can be particularly beneficial for those with high blood pressure. Many patients see improvements after a few sessions, and the benefits can last for months. Shockwave therapy has been used for over 50 years to treat kidney stones and joint pain. This therapy addresses vascular causes of erectile dysfunction rather than just its symptoms.
PRP Therapy uses a small amount of your blood. It works by concentrating the platelets, and injecting it into your penis. Platelets are rich in growth factors that help heal and regenerate tissues. PRP increases blood flow and nerve function, making it easier to get and maintain an erection. Additionally, PRP Therapy addresses ED symptoms by improving blood flow and blood pressure. PRP works well for erectile dysfunction caused by aging, diabetes, or heart disease. PRP has been used in orthopedics, plastic surgery, and sports medicine for years.
Trimix Injections are a powerful option to treat ED in men who need immediate results. This treatment uses three medications injected into the penis, creating a strong erection. Sexual stimulation is required for the effectiveness of Trimix Injections. The injections are virtually painless and can be done at home after proper training. The self-injection process is simple and most men quickly become comfortable with it. This lets them enjoy spontaneous sex without timing a pill. Trimix is a localized solution with few side effects, making it a safe and effective option.
Therapeutic Botox is an innovative treatment that involves injecting Botox into the penis. Testosterone replacement therapy is another injectable treatment option for ED. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses that normally keep the blood vessels constricted. This relaxes the blood vessels, increasing blood flow and creating stronger, longer-lasting erections. The effects usually start to appear about two weeks after the injection and can last for months. Therapeutic Botox offers a non-surgical option with minimal risk factors.
Sex Therapy addresses the psychological factors of ED. Understanding your medical history helps to identify psychological and physical causes of ED. Psychological factors can be just as important as the physical ones. Performance anxiety, stress, and relationship issues can all contribute to erection problems. A sex therapist helps you overcome these issues, improving your sexual function and relationships. Additionally, sex therapy is effective for those experiencing pornography-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED). Too much pornography can desensitize the brain. This makes it harder to get an erection for sexual intercourse with a real sexual partner. A sex therapist can help retrain your brain and reduce the effects of PIED.
These medical treatments options offer several benefits over traditional erectile dysfunction pills. These advanced treatments often need a proper diagnosis to be effective. They address the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction, leading to a longer-lasting result. These treatments have very few risk factors and can work better for men who don’t respond well to pills. This allows males to get an erection, and maintain an erection that is harder, stronger, and longer-lasting.
