Erectile Dysfunction Glen Rock NJ

Erectile Dysfunction (sometimes called physical impotence) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection due to a medical condition. Although the results are the same, erectile dysfunction differs from psychological impotence, which is caused by emotional stressors. ED also can make it difficult for a man to sustain an erection long enough to finish having sex. Getting older can affect ED but erectile dysfunction is not typical of the aging process. At NJ GAINSWave, our doctors understand how frustrating male impotence can be as well as how it can cause problems in your intimate life. To ensure an accurate diagnosis, we start by conducting a thorough physical examination and taking a detailed medical history that allows for the best treatment options.

Sexual Enhancement Glen Rock NJ

At one time or another during their sex lives, most men will experience a problem in the bedroom. This is normal and does not indicate that any problem exists. Nonetheless, if you are one of the millions of men troubled by recurring episodes, it may be time to consider your options for sexual enhancement, such as:

• Pulsed Wave Therapy - Low-intensity shock wave therapy can rejuvenate tissues in the penis to treat erectile dysfunction while increasing sensation and boosting sex drive for up to 2 years.
• Lifestyle Changes - Does your lifestyle need a tune-up? Eating a healthy diet, watching your weight, stopping smoking and exercising regularly are behavioral changes that may correct ED.
• Testosterone Replacement - As testosterone levels drop, some men notice sex drive and erectile function decline. Testosterone replacement often improves ED and naturally restores the libido in many men.

By investing time to educate yourself about men's health issues, you may be taking the first step in finding the permanent solution that you seek. Studies suggest that eight out of ten men suffering from ED can trace its origin to a specific event. Nonetheless, NJ GAINSWave is expertly equipped to diagnose and treat your condition.

Peyronie's Disease Treatments Glen Rock NJ

Peyronie's disease is an acquired inflammatory condition of the penis where plaque develops under the skin causing penile curvature, painful erections, and erectile dysfunction. This scar tissue surrounds the corpus cavernosum, which is the structure that fills with blood to create a normal erection. In addition to pain, the plaque can cause erections to be less rigid or difficult to maintain during intercourse. Although the exact cause is unknown, there may be a genetic predisposition for abnormal scar tissue formation but, more likely, trauma to the penis was caused by a sudden bending during previous intercourse at a time when the penis was prone to injury. Shockwave therapy can improve blood flow along the arterial walls of the penis for a stronger, longer lasting erection.

Do Erectile Dysfunction Medications Not Work for You?

Simply put, the best ED treatment or ED therapy is the one that works best for you. About half of men ages 40 to 70 will experience some degree of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction pills (like Viagra) produce an erection sufficient to have intercourse in about seventy percent of healthy men. However, some men simply don't like that they have to plan ahead and many feel that they cannot find a pill that works at a price they can afford. Moreover, some men find that the results of taking ED meds can vary quite a bit from one person to another. In fact, a man with nerves or arteries damaged by surgery, accident or disease may not get an adequate response from ED pills alone. In addition to the laundry list of common side effects, none of the erectile dysfunction medications are safe to take with cardiac drugs (nitrates) or alpha blockers as it could cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. If ED medications are not working for you, discuss your options with a men's health doctor at NJ GAINSWave today.
