| Description | The ideal treatment of ED considering the patients welfare should be easy to administer, non invasive, painless and highly effective, with minimal side effects. Modern, oral first line erectile dysfunction therapy using hosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors is safe, effective and well tolerated. Intracavernosal therapy as the second line therapy is safe and effective in diabetic patients, in men with cardiovascular disease and in men who have undergone radical prostatectomy. A new method of erectile dysfunction therapy is low intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy which produces neovascularization. Lifestyle changes (intensive exercise and decrease in Body Mass Index) can improve erectile function. |
