Erectile Dysfunction Solutions

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction or ED is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. Problems with erections may stem from medications, chronic illnesses, poor blood flow to the penis, drinking too much alcohol, or being too tired. Lifestyle changes, medications, and other treatments are often used to treat ED.

Physician Diagnosis
Schedule enough time with your doctor to conduct a full interview and physical examination. The first step in the medical management of erectile dysfunction is taking a thorough sexual, medical, and psychosocial history.  Erectile dysfunction is a delicate topic, and your doctor should be sensitive and caring to make you comfortable about sharing these intimate details of your private life.

Vacuum Constriction Devices

A penis pump is one of a few treatment options for erectile dysfunction, the inability to get or maintain an erection sufficient for sex. A penis pump consists of a plastic tube that fits over the penis, a hand or battery-powered pump attached to the tube, and a band that fits around the base of the penis once it is erect (constriction ring). A penis pump is sometimes called a vacuum pump or a vacuum constriction device.
