Does your doctor have experience with all of them?

Long before there were commercials advertising oral
medications for resolving erectile dysfunction … long before there were jokes
about the side effect of a four-hour erection … and long before anyone was
familiar with the phrase “the little blue pill” … I began practicing as a
trained, board-certified urologist in the area of male sexual dysfunction. It
was 27 years ago to be exact.
Now, some nearly three decades later, I can proudly state that I am still helping men come to grips with their erectile dysfunction issues — and, more importantly, — solve their E.D. In this time, the field of medicine has made great strides in identifying the causes of E.D. and its treatments. In fact, it probably surprises you that treatment options for E.D. are not merely limited to the heavily-advertised oral medications like Cialis and Viagra. Injectable treatments and penile implants are other available treatment options — and they have much higher success rates than their more well-known oral-medicine counterparts. Injectables typically have an 85% success rate with patients. A penile implant — a device that is surgically implanted in the patient that allows him to have a reliable erection whenever he so desires — has an even more impressive success rate of greater than 95%.

Surprisingly some men are put off by the idea of having an
operation to cure their E.D., despite its nearly 100% success rate with
producing erections and despite the fact that in their current state, they
cannot have the sex they want. To these patients I typically ask, “Which sounds
better to you – a 95% chance that you can have an erection whenever you want one
if you have the surgery … or a 0% of having an erection if you don’t have a
penile implant?” (It’s actually more of a rhetorical question isn’t it?)
I speak from experience. I’m the only urologist in the Lehigh valley who performs penile surgery on a regular basis. In fact, I have the broadest experience in this area of any doctor in the Lehigh Valley. And many of my patients are specifically referred to me for the surgery by other urologists in the valley after oral and injectable options failed. The surgery takes less than an hour. And is performed on an outpatient or short-stay basis. Patients can return to sexual activity about eight weeks after the procedure. If you have E.D. and wish to talk about ways to address it such as a penile implant, talk to a trained urologist who specializes in the area of male sexual dysfunction such as myself, or at the very least, ask your primary care physician for his or her advice.
