What are the treatments for erectile function?

Urinary martial arts to improve erectile function
-The first line of treatment to improve erectile function is oral medication, most commonly type V phosphodiesterase inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra...). These drugs are divided into short-acting and long-acting types due to the different half-lives of the drugs. After discussing their physical conditions with their urologist, those who are experiencing problems can choose between short-acting drugs taken before sex or long-acting drugs that can maintain their effects for a long period of time on a daily basis. For those who are taking nitrate drugs for cardiovascular problems, combining this type of drug with nitrate drugs can cause dangerous conditions such as low blood pressure or even shock. Therefore, it is important to consult your doctor before taking any medication.
-The second line of erectile dysfunction treatment is the topical use of prostaglandins with a vacuum device that can be given through the urethra or injected directly into the penile sponge. In Taiwan, when oral medications do not work well, a physician may instruct the patient to learn to inject prostaglandins into the sponge before sexual intercourse.
The third line of erectile dysfunction treatment is the placement of an artificial penis. There are one-piece artificial penises that are simply straightened and bent manually, as well as two-piece and three-piece artificial penises that are more sophisticated in structure. During the surgery, the urologist will place a water-filled capsule behind the pubic bone, and then the capsule is implanted into the penis sponge, which is connected by tubing.
Regenerative medicine: In addition to the time-honored treatments of medication, vacuum aspiration and artificial penile surgery. In recent years, many urologists and andrologists have also been involved in regenerative medicine research. Currently, low energy penile shockwave/ Mustang wave therapy is widely recognized by major international academic associations for its efficacy. Through six consecutive sessions of painless and non-invasive low-energy shockwave stimulation, each lasting 15 minutes or so, blood vessels in the penile sponges proliferate and tissue regeneration occurs. Andrologists are also continuing to research into Platelet Rich Plasma (PLP) and Stem Cell Therapy (SCT), which are rich in growth factors, in the hope that more mature men will be able to live their lives as happily as they want to.
