You'd be surprised by how prevalent ED really is. Moreover, it is treatable. Our staff at UW Health is here to assist you in reclaiming a more satisfying experience for you and your relationship.
An everyday difficulty that few people feel comfortable discussing.
Men who struggle to get or maintain an erection firm are said to suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). It's an everyday issue, yet it might be awkward to broach the subject. UW Health urologists evaluate and treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in males. There is no one reason for erectile dysfunction. The first step in seeking effective therapy is figuring out what's causing yours.
Analyzing ED
The ability to get and maintain an erection is dependent on a number of bodily systems, including your brain, blood vessels, and nerves. Muscles and hormones have a role as well. Issues with any of these may be brought on by a variety of physical, mental, and environmental reasons.
This is a condition that becomes worse with age.
Half of men in their 50s have erection problems, most of them mild to severe. The figure increases as time passes. Over 60% of men in their 60s and 70% of men in their 70s are predicted to suffer from ED.
The potential origins of erection problems
Assessing your health status
In order to determine the root of your ED, our urologists will have a detailed conversation with you. They will do a physical examination and maybe other tests as well. A penile ultrasound, for example, may detect irregularities in blood flow, while a blood test can detect underlying medical issues.
Checkups and Preventative Measures
The reduction of potential erectile dysfunction complications
Your chances of acquiring ED may be lowered by taking one or more of the following measures.
Avoid or cut back on alcohol; eat well; exercise frequently; get regular checkups to monitor blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels; if you smoke, kick the habit; keep a healthy weight; reduce stress; get help for anxiety or depression; discuss with your doctor the possibility of tapering off potentially harmful medications.

Modifying Your Way of Life

Meds that you take by mouth
Many drugs that you take by mouth may help you have a stronger or longer-lasting erection by boosting blood flow to your penis.
Injectable medications
SUPER AVANA is a medicinal drug that is used for the effective cure and further prevention of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
We also have drugs that you inject straight into your penis when you wish to achieve an erection. Another alternative is a dissolvable pellet that you place in the hole at the tip of your penis to trigger the formation of an erection.
SUPER KAMAGRA ORAL JELLY is essentially an allopathic medicine, which contains Sildenafil Citrate as its key ingredient.
The 150mg dosage is available in the form of tablets, coming in 10 in a pack. The drug is fundamentally used for the prevention and effective treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men.
Hormone replacement treatment
Testosterone is a hormone that plays a significant role in your sex desire and sexual function. As you age, levels of this hormone fall. Some drugs and medical problems might alter testosterone levels as well.
If you experience signs of low testosterone, we could consider evaluating your testosterone levels. If your levels are low, further testing may help us determine the problem.
Many therapies may raise your testosterone levels to a normal range. They include:
• Injectable pellets that we implant beneath your skin
• Injections
• Patches placed on your mouth or cheek
• Skin patches
• Topical gels
Your doctor will work with you to decide which choice is best.
Vacuum erection device
A vacuum erection device is a gadget that you put over your penis when you want to have sex. It pumps blood into the penis and leads to an erection. To keep the blood there, you insert a specific ring around the base of your penis. This permits most men to sustain an erection long enough for intercourse.
Penile implants
If traditional ED therapies don’t assist you sufficiently, you could consider a penile implant. This requires surgery to put a gadget into your penis that helps you have an erection. In most circumstances, you go home the day after your operation or after an overnight hospital stay.
Counseling
Factors like as stress, sadness or relationship issues frequently lead to ED. Chatting with a counsellor might provide you insight into these issues and enable you to cope with them.
