Which are the treatment options for erectile dysfunction?

The management of the patient with erectile dysfunction is tailored to the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction and to patients’ preferences.

Various drugs are now available for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Some medications are administered orally, some are injected directly into the penis while other are inserted into the urethra at the tip of the penis. When medical treatment is ineffective and contraindicated, the vacuum constriction device or penile prosthesis implantation guarantee the rigidity necessary for sexual intercourse.
