Best Treatment Of Erectile Dysfunction In Mukundapur

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or maintain an erection long enough for sexual engagement. There are several potential reasons, including disorders of the blood vessels, neurological disorders, mental health issues, and traumas. ED can be diagnosed and treated by a medical professional using appropriate treatments such as medications, lifestyle changes, or therapies.

It is common to have ED, especially as you age. Embarrassment, poor self-esteem, and other more severe psychological disorders might result from it. However, having ED should not make you feel embarrassed or humiliated. It can be your body's way of alerting you to a problem. It is important to discuss your symptoms and how they impact your quality of life openly and honestly with our healthcare professionals. They are qualified to diagnose ED, identify its underlying cause, and suggest the best course of action for you. At Manipal Hospitals, Mukundapur, we possess a team of experienced professionals trained in ED care, treating such cases with complete privacy. 
 

FAQ's

Symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) might include:

  • Difficulty achieving an erection.

  • Problems maintaining an erection

  • Diminished passion for sexual relations

Healthcare professionals classify erectile dysfunction (ED) patients into many groups:

  • Vascular erectile dysfunction: This type of ED affects the blood vessels that supply blood to the tissues in your penis. This is the most common type of ED.

  • Neurological erectile dysfunction: Neurogenic ED is caused by nerve problems that interfere with the flow of information from your brain to your penis to achieve an erection. This can be brought on by trauma, Radiation Therapy, Pelvic Surgery, or neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal stenosis, and stroke.

  • Hormonal erectile dysfunction: The term hormonal ED describes ED caused by a lack of testosterone or, in certain situations, by thyroid problems.

  • Psychogenic erectile dysfunction: Conditions that impact your thoughts, feelings, or behaviour are linked to psychogenic ED. 

Erectile dysfunction (ED) may occur as a result of physical, psychological, emotional, and hormonal causes.

Physical causes:

  • Obesity

  • Diabetes

  • High blood pressure

  • High cholesterol

  • Pelvic area injuries

  • Seizures

A greater risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) is seen with the following factors:

  • Age: above 40

  • Depression

  • BMI greater than 25

  • Smoking

  • Lack of physical activity

  • Physical examination: This examination evaluates your overall health. To screen for erectile dysfunction (ED), genital exams, which focus on the penis and testicles, are frequently performed. The exam may also include a focus on your heart and blood system, including your heart, peripheral pulses, and blood pressure, depending on your age and risk factors. Your doctor may do a rectal exam to examine your prostate based on your age and family medical history. There is no discomfort associated with these tests. 
  • Laboratory examinations: In order to search for underlying medical issues that contribute to ED, your doctor could prescribe blood tests and request a urine sample.
  • Other tests: Health professionals frequently use questionnaires to evaluate your propensity to start and maintain erections, assess your level of enjoyment with sex, and find any problems related to orgasm.
  • Advanced ED tests: Specialised testing for males with ED may be necessary to direct therapy or to reevaluate you if a treatment doesn't work.
    • Testing for testosterone and other male hormones through blood tests
    • Blood testing for diabetes to assess blood sugar
    • Penile Doppler ultrasonography to monitor blood flow
    • Pelvic X-rays such as arteriography, MRI, or CT scanning are rarely required to assess ED. These are used if there is a history of trauma or cancer.
    • Nighttime penile tumescence (NPT), a test to determine whether a person has a sleep erection.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is treated with the following multiple techniques:

  • Quitting Smoking: After several months, stopping smoking can improve things for men with moderate ED.

  • Communicating with a Sex Counsellor: An open discussion with a sex counsellor can help in addressing the emotional and psychological factors contributing to erectile dysfunction, as well as developing strategies for improving sexual health and intimacy.

  • Oral Medications: Oral drugs such as Vardenafil (Levitra®), Tadalafil (Cialis®), Avanafil (Stendra®), and Sildenafil (Viagra®) can aid in boosting blood flow to your penis. Within an hour, oral drugs begin to function.
