ED Treatment

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common condition, one that can affect men of any age – but it doesn’t have to affect your quality of life and there are various treatment options available to help you address your symptoms and ensure that you’re able to continue enjoying an active and fulfilling sex life.

Simply put, ED is characterised by the inability to get or maintain an erection making penetrative sex either difficult or impossible entirely. It can lead to problems with self-esteem and confidence, as well as having an impact on personal relationships if left untreated.

There are various causes that can potentially lead to ED, both physical and psychological, and it can be beneficial to identify the root cause behind the problem so as to identify the most appropriate course of treatment. 

While reduced blood flow to the penis is the cause in the majority of cases, erectile problems can also be caused by the likes of stress, anxiety and depression.

How can erectile dysfunction be treated?

You’ll find that there are various medications and treatment options for ED, including Viagra, Sildenafil, Spedra, Tadalafil and Cialis. Medication of this kind has been found to be effective in around 80 per cent of men, increasing blood flow to the penis and enabling you to achieve an erection (when in a state of arousal).

All prescription drug treatments are generally safe for the majority of men, although you may experience some side-effects. It is also worth discussing your options with one of our certified pharmacists, so you know you’re selecting the most appropriate product for you and your specific circumstances.

However, it may also be necessary to consider other forms of treatment alongside medication, such as counselling or therapy, if the root cause of the problem is psychological, rather than physical.

ED can also be symptomatic of other health conditions that affect both your heart and your blood vessels, such as high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure. As such, it can be advisable to have a regular health check carried out to make sure that your symptoms aren’t the result of a more serious underlying health condition.
