Most doctor's agree that treatments for ED proceed from least
to most invasive. The first thing in order is cutting back on any
drugs with harmful side effects, especially those associated with
ED side effects. For example, prescription drugs for high blood
pressure work in different ways and some produce side effects
more then othere when it comes to Erectile Dysfunction. If you
think your particular medication is causing problems with
erection, tell your physician and ask whether you can try a
different class of blood pressure medicine.

Psychotherapy and modifications in bahavior selected patients
are considered next if indicated. Experts often treat
psychologically based ED using techniques that decrease the
anxiety associated with intercourse. The patient's partner can
help with the techniques, which include gradual development of
intimacy and stimulation. These techniques can also help relieve
ED anxiety when a physical cause is not the problem.

The next option would be prescribing a drug to treat a patient's
ED which would be taken orally, injections that would be injected
directly into the penis, or inserted into the urethra at the tip of the
penis. Ouch ! - The FDA has gave approval to three oral
medicines: Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis. Additional oral
medicines are being tested for safety and effectiveness. Taken
an hour before sexual activity, Viagra, Cialis and Levitra work by
enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes
smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation and
allows increased blood flow. While this oral medicines improve
the response to sexual stimulation, they do not trigger an
automatic erection as injections do. Cialis does work much
faster (15-30 minutes) and works much longer thus is the
preferred ED drug in 2008. None of these 3 ED Drugs should
be used more than once a day. Men who take nitrate-based
drugs such as nitroglycerin for heart problems should not use
either drug because the combination can cause a sudden drop
in blood pressure.

Many men achieve stronger erections by injecting ED drugs into
the penis, causing it to become engorged with blood, but the
thought of this make most men shiver. ED drugs such as
papaverine hydrochloride, phentolamine, and alprostadil widen
blood vessels. But these ED drugs may create unwanted side
effects, which include scarring and a persistent erection known
as priapism. Nitroglycerin, which is a muscle relaxant, can may
enhance erection when rubbed on the penis. There is also an
effective Erectile Dysfunction system by inserting a pellet of
alprostadil into the urethra is marketed as Muse. This system
uses a prefilled applicator to deliver the pellet about an inch
deep into the urethra. Again ouch ! - But your erection will begin
within 8 to 10 minutes and may last 30 to 60 minutes. The most
common side effects are aching in the penis, testicles, and area
between the penis and rectum. Another side effect is a warmth
or burning sensation in the urethra and redness from increased
blood flow to the penis. Research on drugs for treating ED is
expanding rapidly. Patients should ask their physician about the
latest drugs and advances in this field before making a decision.
