GAINSWave therapy is effective and safe for men who cannot take oral ED medicine, such as those with heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. GAINSWave can be used to treat Peyronie’s Disease, which Viagra and other oral ED drugs cannot.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued warnings about some products labeled as “herbal Viagra.” These products are not the same as the prescription medication known as Viagra (with the active ingredient sildenafil). You should know that many of these supplements can cause unwanted side effects and haven’t been proved to work.

ED does not typically require counselling and surgery, although forms of psychological treatment such as counselling can help address the problem if the ED is caused by anxiety or depression. Surgery can help in cases where physical defects can be corrected.
Checking the penis for sensitivity determines any nervous system origins. Inspection of penile appearance helps rule out Peyronie's disease. A blood pressure check rules out circulation problems by checking wrist and ankle pulse.

But Stendra will cost you significantly more than sildenafil or tadalafil — that’s the tradeoff. Hims — our top choice for convenient access to Stendra — offers a monthly subscription for Stendra at $116 per month, billed quarterly. If you can afford the cost, this may be the best choice for you.
When you take erectile dysfunction tablets, you can expect to experience stronger, longer-lasting erections. However, this won’t be instantaneous.

Public enemy number two is alcohol. Yep, brewers droop is real. Alcohol interferes with your ability to achieve an erection and lessens your ability to ejaculate. But the effects last longer than the hangover. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that “erectile failure” is significantly higher in men who drink more than 3 units of alcohol every day. And a separate study found that 61% of people dependent on alcohol suffered from sexual dysfunction, most commonly erectile problems or reduced sexual desire.
You could also ask a pharmacist for advice on other ways to help you remember to take your medicine.
However, speak to a pharmacist or doctor before taking it if you're trying to get pregnant.
If tadalafil does not work, a doctor might recommend sildenafil, which works in a similar way.
The Massachusetts Male Aging Study linked a healthier lifestyle, including a healthy diet, to a reduced risk for ED as well as diseases that can contribute to ED such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. A diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, and low in processed foods, sugar, and red meat may be particularly healthful.
Other research has suggested that specific foods like dark chocolate, pistachios, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and tomatoes may help symptoms.
Exercise does more than improve penile blood flow, however. Staying fit keeps a man’s weight under control, may increase his testosterone levels, and boosts his confidence. It can also reduce depression and anxiety. These factors can affect erections as well as other aspects of sexual health.
We allow a maximum of three injections per week, but you must wait 24 hours before taking another dose. And make sure you alternate between sides of the penis for each injection.
