Medications for Sexual Dysfunction

First and foremost, know that erectile dysfunction is very common. Even though it becomes prominent with age, but young generation also suffers from this condition and there is nothing to worry or be sad about. The medicine world has come a long way and there are treatments for almost anything. A little consultation with your doctor will provide you with the knowledge of the medications that will be ideal to treat your erectile dysfunction. Doctors at ARC are experienced in treating numerous patients with sexual dysfunction and you will get the best possible treatment here.

Medications will depend on the cause and the severity of the erectile dysfunction. The erectile dysfunction can also be a result of an underlying health condition. According to that the doctor will employ the needed treatment or medication.

Oral Medications

In almost 90% of the cases the patient can b treated by simple, over the counter oral medications. These medicines include:

  • Sildenafil (Viagra)
  • Tadalafil (Adcirca, Cialis)
  • Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn)
  • Avanafil (Stendra)

These four medications enhance the effects of nitric oxide, which is a chemical that your body produces to relax the muscles of the penis. This ultimately increases the blood flow into your penis, which promotes n erection in response to sexual stimulation. You must note that taking one of these tablets will not cayuse an erection. A sexual stimulation is needed for the release of the nitric oxide from the penile nerves. What these medications do is they enhance that signal, resulting in an erection. You cannot treat these medications as aphrodisiacs and if a normal person, with fully functioning erection consumes these, it may cause some distressing temporary physical problems.

These medications may be dangerous if you are already taking some other nitrate drugs. Some pre-existing conditions like, heart disease and high or low blood pressure can also cause you a lot of trouble if you consume these medications in spite of the conditions.

Other Medications

There are some other medications that you can use for treating an erectile dysfunction.

  • Alprostadil self-injection: in this method, you inject alprostadil (Caverject Impulse, Edex) with the help of a fine needle into the base or side of your penis. The dose is measured in such a way that the erection lasts for an hour.
  • Alprostadil urethral suppository: This therapy will place a tiny alprostadil suppository inside penis in the penile urethra. The suppository can be inserted by using a special applicator. The erection will start within 10 minutes and will last between 30 to 60 minutes.

Apart from these medications there are penis pumps that work for hardening and promoting the nerves of your penis. If all these fails then a penis implant is the only way to treat erectile dysfunction. However, it is a rare phenomenon.
