Erectile Dysfunction
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED), also called impotence, is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection adequate for satisfactory sexual performance. ED affects about 50% of men by the age of 50 and typically progresses over time. Current research indicates that ED will impact 322 million men worldwide by 2025.
ED often starts with mild symptoms that come and go where erections are possible but sexual performance is not always as reliable or good as it used to be. If left untreated, ED can evolve to severe dysfunction making treatment less effective and more invasive.
Current treatment options available:
- Lifestyle changes to decrease personal risk factors (i.e. smoking cessation, control of Diabetes and Hypertension, start exercising)
- Sexual Psychotherapy
- Vacuum devices
- Low-intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (i.e. DUO® device)
- Oral Medications (i.e. Viagra and Cialis)
- Injectable medications (placed directly into the penis with a needle)
- Surgical options (i.e. inflatable penile prosthesis)
Your treatment plan should be individualized and based on the root cause and severity of your erectile difficulties.

Medical Evidence

- No bothersome side effects
