Treatment Options for Impotence

There are a number of different treatment options for impotence. This article will cover a few of these with the goal of making your choice easier.

The impotence treatment options we will cover here include:

• Prescription drugs
• Surgery
• Vacuum pumps
• Herbal remedies

Please note that not all treatment options are valid for all people. For example if your impotence is related to a physical condition or illness, herbal remedies will not work for you. If your impotence is mainly psychological then a vacuum pump is unlikely to be effective. For this reason it is very important to seek professional advice before embarking on any treatment.

Prescription drugs

Most impotence prescription drugs are known as PDE5 Inhibitors. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are the most commonly prescribed. They work by allowing the penis arteries to relax, meaning more blood can flow to cause an erection.

Surgery

Surgery can include insertion of an inflatable implant or rigid implant. These are invasive surgeries and men rarely choose these options.

Vacuum pumps

Vacuum pumps are known to be successful in around 90% of men. Take caution to only purchase well known and recommended brands, as cheap unknown brands can cause damage to the penis.

Herbal remedies

Herbs such as ginseng are known to assist in the reduction of impotence occurrences. Many herbal remedies now exist to treat impotence.

Please see a doctor before deciding what course of impotence treatment to take.
