Erectile Dysfunction is the frequent or consistent inability to get or sustain an erection of the penis sufficient to engage in sexual intercourse. Statistics show that about half of men aged 40 to 70 have frequent problems achieving or maintaining an erection . The number of men with erectile difficulties is low for those under the age of 40, but it increases with age.

There’s a wide range of treatments for erectile dysfunction. Some are pills, and others are injections or devices that should be used just before sex. There are also treatments involving surgery. Medications for erectile dysfunction include oral medications (such as Viagra, Cialis or Levitra), injections into the penis, vacuum devices, counseling or implants (penile prosthesis).

Many other products claim to treat or even cure erectile dysfunction. These products are often expensive and usually have not been adequately tested for either their side effects or results. Treat such products with caution and use only under the supervision of a doctor.

Ongoing erection problems may have a medical cause that needs specific treatment and should be investigated by a doctor. If you would like to make an appointment to see one of the urologist at St Pete Urology, please click on contact us and complete the short form.
