Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, happens when you can't get or keep an erection of the penis that's adequate for the sexual satisfaction of both partners. While almost all adult males have ED once in a while, as many as 30 million American men have it regularly. Nearly all men who seek treatment for ED find some relief.
Other drugs may be used to treat erectile dysfunctions such as self-injections of medication at the base of the penis, hormone replacement for low testosterone, or suppositories.

If a medication is causing your ED, your doctor may lower your dose or try a different drug.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy (also known as kegel exercises) is the best for erectile dysfunction. It isolates the muscle group at the base of the pelvis (particularly the pubococcygeus), which extends from the pelvic bone to the tailbone and helps to support your pelvic organs. As this muscle grows weaker, it loses the ability to prevent blood flow out of the erect penis.
Most of the supplements you can use to combat ED are more expensive than generic drugs. You also have to take them every day for them to be effective, unlike certain ED meds that you can take as needed. Ultimately, this comes down to budget and lifestyle, and the choice is yours to make. How we evaluate health services and products
Levitra (vardenafil) is considered one of the most suitable ED treatment options for diabetics. It typically comes in 10mg and 20mg tablets, with dosage being adjusted according to the effect on the individual. The maximum dosage should be tried eight times before it is deemed not to be an effective treatment. The effects of Levitra are known to last longer than those of Viagra.

Managing other health conditions and making the necessary lifestyle changes are important to help overcome erectile dysfunction. That’s why our team at the Male Infertility & Sexual Health Program at UH uses a specialized, team-based approach to deliver expert and highly individual ED care.
Quitting smoking, exercising regularly, losing excess weight, curtailing excessive alcohol consumption, controlling hypertension, and optimizing blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes are not only important for maintaining good health but also may improve or even prevent progression of erectile dysfunction. It is unclear if such lifestyle changes can reverse erectile dysfunction. However, lifestyle improvements may prevent progression of the erectile dysfunction. Some studies suggest that men who have made lifestyle improvements experience increased rates of success with oral medications.
Exercise is an essential part of maintaining erectile health. It protects against cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of ED, and has a myriad of other benefits such as reducing body weight, managing blood glucose levels, and reducing “bad” cholesterol.

All of this is why they require a prescription. Your consulting physician will determine what will be safe and effective for you based on your medical history and any current medications that you use.

Can we develop a simple yet accurate method to distinguish organic from psychogenic ED?
In post-prostatectomy patients, about 40% reported success with the drug compared with 4.5% in the placebo group (P<0.0005). Success rates were similar for men attempting sex within 16 to 30 minutes, and more than 30 minutes after dosing, they found.
Mulhall added that results were similar for patients with both mild or severe ED, noting that avanafil is "well suited for on-demand treatment of men with mild-to-severe ED."
This exercise is simple to do but it’s also important. It allows a person to activate pelvic floor muscles.
