Dealing with Erectile Dysfunctions

To know what treatment is correct depends on the cause of ED for example, ED caused by psychological causes may require:

  • Counseling
  • Psychotherapy
  • Relationship counseling


There are also mechanical aids available for ED such as :

  • Vacuum Pumps - A cylinder is put over your male organ and the air is then pumped out. That should "suck" your male organ into an erection. But the "erected" organ would be a bit cold and blue-looking.
  • Rings - A specially designed ring fit at the base of male organ which is often used with vacuum pumps. The ring is designed to help stop blood from flowing out of the male organ.

Then there are the conventional drugs for ED such as:

  • Viagra - Widens the blood vessels which give an erection.
  • Injections into the penis prior to sexual intercourse.
  • Pellets inserted down the urinary pipe prior to sexual intercourse.

Under drastic circumstances, the following surgery procedures are practiced for ED:

  • Curing venous leak - Some men lose their erections because blood leaks out of the male organ. Sometimes, this only happens only in certain sex positions. A urologist may be able to operate if the leak is clearly pin-pointed by special X-rays.
  • Internal splints - A skilled urologist can insert artificial splints into the male organ. There is the simple splint which is a firm rod whereby the man can lift his organ into position when he needs to.

There is also the more sophisticated internal splint which you or your partner can inflate when needed.
