Urological Services for Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects men of all ages, but it doesn’t
have to be something you simply accept. At DIAS UROLOGY, we provide comprehensive,
compassionate care to help you regain your confidence and improve your quality of life. Our
expert urologists are dedicated to offering personalized treatment options tailored to your
unique needs, so you can achieve lasting results.
Understanding Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for
sexual intercourse. It can result from a variety of factors, including underlying medical
conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure, as well as psychological
causes like stress, anxiety, or depression. In some cases, ED may also be linked to
lifestyle choices or hormonal imbalances.
If you are experiencing symptoms of ED, seeking medical advice is an important first step.
The earlier ED is addressed, the more successful treatment outcomes tend to be.
Our Approach to Treatment
At DIAS UROLOGY, we take a holistic and evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating
erectile dysfunction. Our urologists are committed to understanding the root cause of your
condition to recommend the most effective course of action. We offer a range of treatment
options, including:
- Medications: Oral medications such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and
vardenafil (Levitra) are commonly prescribed and are effective for many men in improving
blood flow to the penis.
- Penile Injections & Suppositories: For men who do not respond to oral medications,
injectable treatments or suppositories can provide direct treatment to the erectile
tissue, enhancing blood flow and helping to achieve an erection.
- Vacuum Erection Devices (VED): This non-invasive device creates a vacuum around the
penis, drawing blood into the area to help achieve an erection. It’s a viable option for
men seeking a drug-free solution.
- Shockwave Therapy: Low-intensity shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) is a newer, non-invasive
treatment option that uses sound waves to stimulate blood flow to the penile tissue.
It’s often used to promote healing and improve erectile function over time.
- Hormone Therapy: Hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone, can play a significant
role in erectile dysfunction. Our team can test hormone levels and recommend treatments
such as testosterone replacement therapy if needed.
- Surgical Options: For men who do not respond to less invasive treatments, surgical
options may be considered. These include:
-
Penile Prosthesis (Implants): One of the most effective and long-lasting
surgical treatments for ED, penile prosthesis involves implanting a device into
the penis that can allow for a firm erection. There are two main types:
-
Inflatable Penile Prosthesis: This type consists of two cylinders
inserted into the penis, a pump placed in the scrotum, and a reservoir
placed in the abdomen. When you wish to achieve an erection, you simply
activate the pump to fill the cylinders with fluid, creating an erection
that can be maintained for as long as needed.
-
Malleable Penile Prosthesis: This simpler device uses bendable rods that
are implanted in the penis, allowing the user to manually adjust the
position for intercourse. Though not as natural in appearance as the
inflatable prosthesis, it’s often chosen for its reliability and ease of
use.
-
Vascular Surgery: For patients whose ED is caused by blocked or narrowed blood
vessels, vascular surgery can be an option. The procedure may involve bypassing
blocked arteries or repairing damaged blood vessels to improve blood flow to the
penis.
