Can’t or don’t want to take ED drugs? The vacuum pump method is the next most common choice among men with erectile dysfunction who pass on pills, says Dr. Bennett. To create an erection, you place a plastic cylinder over the penis and pump the air out of the cylinder to force blood to flow into the penis. An elastic ring that you slide onto the base of your penis holds the erection. This ED treatment device is effective for about 75 percent of men. Side effects include numbness, bruising, and weak ejaculation — and the ring must be removed after 30 minutes.

In our opinion, tadalafil beats sildenafil and vardenafil, which makes it the best choice for most men. But most importantly, scientific research leads to the same conclusion. In a meta-analysis of numerous studies, couples preferred tadalafil to sildenafil — and it wasn’t very close. In one study, nearly 80% of women preferred their sexual partners to use tadalafil, compared to sildenafil (15% preference). Therefore, the chances are pretty good that tadalafil will be best for you, too.

Watts and coworkers, in their review article, make several points about this ED/CAD nexus. Endothelial dysfunction is present in both CVD and ED, and is linked through the NO mechanism. The authors note that PDE5 inhibitors improve endothelial function and have a salutary effect on both CVD and ED. Both ED and cardiac disease respond to modifications in lifestyle as well as pharmacologic manipulation. These authors also report that the presence of ED gives the clinician an opportunity to assess CVD and prevention as well.20
