Impotence treatment

There are various impotence treatments available today. However, it is hard to find correct impotence treatment information, as products tend to market their own brand, understandably, thus you can never find unbiased information on the web, which is not a fair platform to judge which is the best treatment for erectile dysfunction. Prescription impotence treatments such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are widely popular and one can find scores of information about them online. Some of the lesser-known erectile dysfunction treatments are hormonal therapy and surgical treatments.

Less common impotence treatment information

Hormonal Therapy

Hormonal therapy is an impotence treatment strictly recommended for cases of hypogonadism, i.e. decrease in the levels of testosterone. Testosterone is artificially inserted by intramuscular injections or by skin patches (applied to the shaved scrotum). This impotence treatment works quickly and its effects can be felt even after few days.

Male hormone replacement therapy is beneficial not only as impotence treatment but also as an energy booster. It works by increasing muscular mass and decreasing fat, which makes a man feel healthy and vigorous. This impotence treatment decreases fatigue and increases mental focus. Testosterone is also known to affect osteoporosis beneficially by offsetting it. However, it is not advisable to go for this treatment unless your doctor diagnosis's prostate disorders and recommends this treatment specifically.

Surgical Treatments

Impotence can be caused by vascular problems too. If impotence is caused by vascular problems, corrective measures taken are vascular or arterial surgeries. Vascular surgery involves two steps: 1) closing or reducing the number of malfunctioning vessels or 2) bypassing or cleaning blocked arteries. The success ratio of this impotence treatment is high but it is irreversible and can burn a hole in your pocket.

This impotence treatment helps achieve artificial erection. This is the last option chosen for impotence treatment because there is no looking back once you do it and it may have drastic consequences. Penile implants are prosthetic devices made of inert silicone, which are surgically inserted into the penis. Normal erection cannot be achieved after that.

1) Passive implants: Two rods of silicone are inserted into the penis and they remain erect all the time. The silicone rods can be put in different angles, but there is no hiding if you are in your swimming shorts. It is possible to have orgasms after this impotence treatment unless you have damaged some hormones or neurons.

2) Active implants: These are inflatable silicone pouches which are also implanted into the penis. The penis remains in flaccid state until a proper manipulation of the prosthesis causes its inflation and consequent erection. One type of implant is activated by pressing the glans (the head of the penis) with one hand. Liquid is transferred from a reservoir to the main inflatable pouches. In another type, the liquid reservoir is implanted into the scrotal sac and can be pumped by hand.

Very less information is available on these impotence treatments as very few people opt for them. After the availability of Viagra and other drugs succeeding it, the number of men going for surgery and implants is rapidly decreasing. Impotence treatment drugs are the best option for men who want an easy solution for their erection problem.
