How is Male Impotence Usually Treated?
Most doctors suggest that erectile dysfunction should be treated in a gradual fashion, starting off with the least invasive methods and gradually switching to more invasive ones in case the condition remains. In most cases making a change in lifestyle can prove very beneficial. Consider drinking less, exercising frequently, quiting smoking, losing extra weight. You will be surprised to see how can it affect your sexual functions.
Some drugs can cause erectile dysfunction as a side effect, so ceasing the treatment can be considered as the next step. You can experience erection problems while taking drugs that are used for treating high blood pressure, depression, mental disorders, stomach problems and so on. In case you suspect that the drug you are taking causes impotence, consult with your doctor about possible changes in dosage or treatment.
The next step is psychotherapy and behavior modifications, which can also be paired with oral medication prescriptions to increase the effectiveness. The ultimate solution, which is used only in the most severe cases when none of the previous steps have been successful, is surgery. It may be used to install special implants that would stimulate erection, or to resolve any structural issues that were causing impotence, if that’s the case.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is primarily used for coping impotence caused by psychological factors such as stress, depression, relationship issues and so on. There is a whole set of special techniques that help the patient to relax and get ready for sexual activity. Using such techniques with a sexual partner is also very important because it helps build up the necessary intimacy and trust. Psychotherapy can also be used to increase the effectiveness of other treatments in cases of physically-induced erectile dysfunction.
Drug Therapy
Since 1998 when Viagra was developed this type of therapy has become very popular. Drugs such as Levitra and Cialis have indroduced later and are used all over the world today. These drugs were strongly marketed over the last ten years and sometimes men consider going straight to this type of treatment missing out the previous steps. Although, these drugs do not have any significant adverse reactions, sometimes it is recommended to try milder types of treatment before taking Cialis or Viagra.
