Taking erectile dysfunction pills is still the easiest way for
most older men to manage their ed. The drugs work quickly to increase blood flow to the penis to help produce and maintain an erection, and the effect can last several hours, usually with minimal side effects. With more generic versions available, ed drugs are now more affor dable. But ed pills don’t work for everyone, or the results are inconsistent.Education and communication
education about
sex
, sexual behaviors, and sexual responses may help a man overcome his anxieties about sexual dysfunction. Talking honestly with your partner about your needs and concerns may also help to overcome many barriers to a healthy sex life. Medication
medications such as sildenafil (viagra®), vardenafil (levitra®), or tadalafil (cialis®) may help improve sexual function in men by increasing blood flow to the penis. Men who are on medicines that contain nitrates such as nitroglycerine should not take oral ed medications. The combination of nitrates and these specific medications can cause low blood pressure (hypotension). The most common side effects of these medications are indigestion, nasal congestion, flushing, headaches and a temporary visual disturbance.
Inflatable penile implants can be inflated to create an erection-like state and then deflated after sexual intercourse, allowing for reliable, rigid, and spontaneous erections. In a one- to two-hour procedure, a surgeon installs the implant—which includes two inflatable cylinders, a reservoir, and a pump unit—into the penis and scrotum. Pressing on the area of the scrotum where the pump portion of the device is embedded allows fluid to flow from the reservoir implanted near the bladder, inflating the prosthesis and creating an erection-like state. The surgical procedure to install the penile prosthesis requires anesthesia and four to six weeks of recuperation, during which your doctor may advise you to avoid sexual activity.
Nearly every primary care physician, internist and geriatrician now understand that many older men retain an interest in sexual activity as they age. Some primary care physicians think that sexual potency in older men is the norm, and that if it is lacking, it is ‘all in the head. ’ this viewpoint has not been supported by current literature. The massachusetts male aging study (mmas) found that 52% of men between 40 and 70 years old reported having some for m of erectile dysfunction (ed). 1 the reality is that ed is a natural part of ageing and that the prevalence increases with age.
