The number of men diagnosed with erectile dysfunction has skyrocketed ever since the little blue pill made it okay to talk about. Fortunately, the number of treatment options has increased, too. So, which ones are worth a shot, and which are just hype?
A separate study of men ages 25-45 examined the effect of taking both L-arginine and pycnogenol together for ED treatment. Pycnogenol is the name for certain chemicals taken from a French pine tree. Men were given L-arginine for one month; nothing happened in the study.
While ED is not life threatening, the condition may result in withdrawal from sexual intimacy, reduced quality of life, decreased working productivity, and increased healthcare utilization. Patterns of care may shift away from surgical and device therapies provided by urologists and toward pharmacologic treatments and/or multidisciplinary approaches. With men increasingly seeking to preserve sexual function and quality of life as they age, the treatment of ED will take on even greater importance in the years to come.

In patients who either fail to respond to first or second-line therapy, or are not interested in the conservative therapies, penile prosthesis implantation is available. Malleable and rigid implants were available for many years, but in 1973 the world of penile prosthetics took a giant leap forward with the advent of the inflatable penile implant.

Tadalafil, a generic form of Cialis, is seen by some as the best pill for ED. Not only does it offer a 36 hour time frame for effectiveness, but it is also typically cheaper to buy than branded products. Ultimately, however, the best pill can vary according to the individual.

Penile implant surgery can be very effective, provided that precautions are taken to avoid infection. Prosthesis surgery is contraindicated if systemic cutaneous or urinary infection is present. Antibiotics should be provided pre-operatively, and the surgical site should be shaved immediately prior to surgery. We use both Mentor and AMS penile implants with specialized antibiotic coats. Patients are hospitalized overnight for closed suction drainage, and sent home on seven days of post-operative antibiotics. Using these and other precautions, our implant infection rate is comparable to national averages (2-4%, 1-2% for antibiotic coated implants). Vascular surgery is recommended only in healthy individuals with recently acquired erectile dysfunction due to a focal arterial narrowing (usually related to trauma) and in the absence of generalized vascular disease.
