Erectile Dysfunction. Your Questions Answered by Internal Specialist, Dr Mera

I am becoming older and my sexual life is starting to fail.  I Know viagra is an option, but I am afraid of side effects is there any alternative to the famous blue pill?

First off, it is important to enjoy a healthy and satisfactory sexual life, dependant on your sex drivel.  With time the level of testosterone other male hormones decreases but this is not always the cause of the problem.

Now there is physical rather than chemical approach called Shock Wave Therapy. This treatment has been found successful in the field of orthopaedics and kidney stones, but for some years its beneficial effect on erectile dysfunction has been seen.

Thanks to the application of low intensity waves directly on the surface of the penis, its circulation is improved and blood vessels that did not previously exist are generated. The increased capacity of this organ to enter and store blood in their corpora cavernosa, consequently, increases the ease to develop and maintain an erection, as well.

There are pioneer protocols based only on preliminary evidence lacking segregation by groups of patients and procedures.  Nevertheless, weeks after the so-called angiogenic process is elicited, an improvement -sometimes remarkable- in their sexual capacity   can be seen by many patients.  Some others, however, may not experience any significant changes.
