The first line treatment for ED is the PDE5 inhibitor medications Viagra, Sildenafil, Cialis, Tadalafil, Levitra and Spedra. They are all recognised as being effective in treating the condition in the majority of cases. Are sex counselling and surgery needed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED)?
Though erections may seem straightforward, the science behind them is complicated. At a basic level, erections happen thanks to a balance of blood flow into and out of the penis. When vascular, hormonal, nerve, or other physical or psychological changes disrupt blood flow, it’s harder to get and keep erections.
The price of sildenafil offered by each pharmacy varies as each supplier decides on their own prices. Some pharmacies mark the product price up more than others.

Tests which your doctor may perform can include; a heart rate check, ultrasound to measure blood flow in the penis, measurements for weight and height, a blood pressure test, or a physical examination of the penis itself.
Not everyone can use these medicines. Your doctor may talk to you about alprostadil if oral medicines aren’t an option for you. Alprostadil is a synthetic version of prostaglandin E. It can be injected into the penis or inserted as a tiny suppository into the urethra (the hole at the end of the penis). Your doctor will help you decide which treatment is best for you.
Tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.

The inability to achieve an erection is a symptom of an underlying health problem or a result of lifestyle factors that aren’t allowing the physiological mechanisms of an erection to unfold. For some men, this is only an occasional problem, which may be the result of increased stress, drinking alcohol or fatigue. But for men who experience erectile dysfunction more than 50 percent of the time when they are trying to engage in sexual activity, this may indicate that there’s a bigger health problem that needs to be addressed.
It is well-known that smoking cigarettes can lead to physiological impairments that lead to erectile dysfunction. Research also indicates that this damage is not permanent and can even be reversed if smoking is stopped prior to middle age. For these reasons, it’s imperative that men who smoke cigarettes need to stop in order to maintain their health and sexual function. Having trouble quitting smoking? Consider trying some mind-body practices like reiki, acupuncture and spinal manipulation to help. (20)

Occasionally tadalafil can make you feel dizzy. If this happens to you, do not drive, cycle or use machines or tools until you feel better.
Surgery provides the only true cure, but men typically want to explore other, less invasive options first.
