It is difficult to know if this is a worldwide problem but studies in America suggest that for males between the ages of 18 and 70, ten percent have problems keeping an erection and surprisingly over 50 percent of men in the 40 to 70 age range. These studies estimate that anything up to 30 million men in America need some form of erectile dysfunction treatment.

Where impotency treatments have been employed successfully they have shown improvements in the closeness between couples including sexual aspects and have helped with depression and aspects of everyday life. Premature ejaculation is not, as many people think, an erectile problem and consequently it does not impotence treatment.

The majority of specialists in this field agree that impotence treatments should start with the least aggressive methods first and only proceeding to aggressive interventions if the others fail so that means reducing the use of any detrimental drugs first. Psychotherapy and behavior modifications are considered next, followed by vacuum cylinders, oral drugs, topically injected drugs, and surgically implanted devices and very rarely, surgery on the penis itself.

Utilising the male’s partner, impotence treatment methods can be employed that help relax and lower the man’s anxiety when he thinks about the problems he has with intercourse. Methods like these are frequently used to treat impotence that is based around a physical problem.

Drugs when used as an impotency treatment can be taken by mouth, injected directly into the penis, or inserted into the urethra at the top of the penis. After many tests, the wonder drug Viagra was given approval by the American FDA in March 1998, taken an hour before sex it was the first oral impotency treatment for men. While Viagra increases the response to sexual arousal, it does not create an automatic erection as injected drugs do and should not be employed more than once each day. One impotence treatment with drugs, substitutes the testosterone using a pill taken by mouth for males that have low levels of natural testosterone but it is still unclear just how much of this is owing to the placebo effect.

Many men gain an erection by employing an impotence treatment which injects drugs into the penis, causing it to become filled with blood. Unfortunately, a persistent erection and scarring are two undesirable side effects to this type of treatment. The answer for some lies in the insertion of a pellet of Alprostadil about a inch deep into the tip of the penis utilising a pre-filled application device, which creates an erection within 8 to ten minutes and may last from half to a whole hour.

Vacuum cylinders that wrap around the penis are a type of impotency treatment that applies a partial vacuum to draw blood into the penis thereby creating an erection. However, to guarantee the erection persists, an elastic band is positioned around the base of the penis to halt the blood flowing back into the body once the vacuum device has been removed.

Studys on impotency treatment is enlarging rapidly and patients should ask their physicians about the latest improvements. As an end note, it is also worthwhile investigating the side effects of any impotency treatment that you are asked to try.
