Erectile dysfunction (ED) most commonly occurs in men between the ages of 40 and 65, but it can be an issue at any age.
If you think you or someone you know may be having problems relating to erectile dysfunction, you should know that it’s a relatively common issue. The National Institutes of Health estimates that more than 30% of men suffer from some degree of erectile dysfunction.
To address your concerns and find solutions, the caring medical providers at 4Ever Young Anti-aging Solutions in Fort Lauderdale, FL, offer consultations and Erectile Dysfunction treatment.
Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms
Some of the symptoms of erectile dysfunction include:
- The inability to become sexually aroused
- A lack of ejaculation
- Decreased or non-existent sexual desire
- A lack of orgasms
- The inability to maintain an erection
In addition, many men also suffer from additional emotional symptoms. Some of these include feelings of inadequacy and a lack of self-confidence. They can feel insecure as well.
The sexual partners of men who have erectile dysfunction issues may also suffer from a lack of self-confidence. They may mistake their partner’s symptoms as a sign that they aren’t attractive or appealing, which can cause further tension between partners in a relationship.
All of this can advance the loss of desire between partners even further. You and your partner don’t have to accept these symptoms, however. There are several options for effective erectile dysfunction treatment that can help.
Erectile Dysfunction Causes
Even though Erectile Dysfunction is more likely to be experienced as men get older, it’s not necessarily due solely to age.
Erectile dysfunction is likely to be caused by any number of other factors, some of which include:
As you can see, there are many possible erectile dysfunctions causes, so there is no single treatment that will treat all of them. This makes choosing the right ED treatment plan extremely important to ensure that it meets your needs.
The variety of causes of ED also means that a holistic approach to treating erectile dysfunction is paramount. A holistic approach focuses on hormone health, diet, and fitness, all of which could address some of the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Options
Which treatment option you will follow will be determined by several factors, including your personal needs and your medical history.
The following five options for erectile dysfunction treatment can treat symptoms that are not reactive to changes in exercise, diet, or fitness.
PT-141
PT-141 addresses symptoms of ED or impotence and may be an appropriate alternative to other erectile dysfunction treatment options. This treatment is a special peptide that activates dopamine hormones, which play a major role in sexual arousal and motivation.
Peptide therapy treatments can help enhance libido, increase sexual satisfaction, and promote stronger erections.
Oral Prescriptions
Two common oral prescription medications that have been found to be very effective for many men who face ED are Viagra and Cialis. If you are interested in non-invasive treatment options for erectile dysfunction, you may want to learn more about oral prescriptions.
Troches
A troche is a lozenge that dissolves in the mouth. Troches are medicated, so unlike oral prescriptions that are simply swallowed, they slowly release prescription medication in the mouth as they dissolve.
The two most common troches used to treat ED contain Cialis (or the generic form, Tadalafil) or Viagra (or the generic form, Sildenafil).
Injectables and BHRT
Injectables and BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) are two additional erectile dysfunction treatment options. These solutions can provide effective measures for treating many ED symptoms related to various types of hormone deficiencies.
Chewables
Chewables, often also referred to as gummies or edibles, contain various ingredients that can alleviate some of the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. This option is another popular one with men looking for a convenient, non-invasive treatment option.
How Long Do I Have to Wait to See Results from Treatment?
While everyone is different, most patients see results and resolutions to their issues with the first treatment dose. Keep in mind that for men who have co-occurring conditions, it may take some time to adjust various combinations of treatments to reach optimal results.
Will I Need Treatment for the Rest of My Life?
There are many factors that influence the path that treatments can take. This is especially true since there is not just one cause of erectile dysfunction. For men with ED that is also influenced by tobacco use, alcohol use, obesity, or other treatable factors, resolving those issues may very well resolve erectile dysfunction, as well.
Will Insurance Cover Erectile Dysfunction Treatment?
Coverage for treatment can depend on your insurance and the specific erectile dysfunction causes. It will also depend on what treatments you are receiving. In most cases, oral prescriptions are covered.
