Options in Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Posted on April 11, 2009

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is one of the most complicated men’s issues nowadays. Although various options available for effective treatment of ED throughout the world, oral medication has become the most sought after treatment modality.

Lifestyle modification is, by far, the best non-invasive treatment option. A sexually enjoying couple can visit the sex-therapist to get the innovative ideas that may be lacking in their daily routine. Penile pumps are being tried by some patients. This device creates a vacuum and the penile musculature is stretched. A permanent treatment for ED is penile implant. A prosthesis is implanted inside the penile musculature and there is permanent increase in size of the penis, which of course can be cumbersome for some people. And there are some herbal medicines also.

But the best erectile dysfunction treatment is by far the oral medications. Sildenafil, or the generic Viagra was first introduced in this segment. This drug blocks Phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme in the blood vessels. This blocking action helps in releasing in Nitric Oxide (NO) from the inner walls of blood vessels. NO will in turn dilate the blood vessels and blood will rush to them. As long as there is adequate blood present in these vessels, penis will remain strong and the length is also increased. This elongation will remain as long as there is enough NO present in the vessels. Sildenafil has its own limitation. If you are suffering from heart diseases and taking Alfla-blockers, there is chance of precipitation of heart attack. The later version of this drug like Tadanafil and Vardenafil are introduced in the market with fewer side effects.

There are numerous websites selling all these Viagra products . You can have your drug easily from these online stores.
