Erectile dysfunction is an all too prevalent problem in Pakistan, compromising quality of life, relationship issues, and depression - not to mention signaling diabetes or heart disease as potential root causes.
Treating high blood pressure may involve taking medication that relaxes arteries and increases blood flow; often this medication is used in combination with lifestyle modifications.
PDE5 Inhibitors
PDE5 inhibitors are prescription drugs that have proven their efficacy at treating erectile dysfunction by increasing cGMP levels, leading to muscle relaxation and vasodilation within the penis resulting in an erection. PDE5 inhibitors have also been widely used in treating pulmonary arterial hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Research is ongoing towards creating more potency PDE5 inhibitors with improved brain penetration, shorter half-lives, better selectivity, and enhanced pharmacokinetics.
PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil are popular PDE5 medications used for treating erectile dysfunction. Each works by increasing blood flow to the corpora cavernosa to allow normal erectile tissue development and growth. Clinical trials have demonstrated their efficacy as treatments and have become the "gold standard" in terms of treating this affliction.
Natural herbs may also have PDE5-inhibiting properties. Yohimbine, an alkaloid that has long been used to increase male libido, may possess PDE5-inhibiting effects; however, side effects include heart attacks and seizures; it interacts negatively with antidepressant medication and interacts adversely with antidepressants. Eurycoma longifolia commonly known as black ginger or tongkat ali may show some PDE5-blocking activity but further research should be performed with larger sample sizes.
Patients should not take PDE5 inhibitors without first consulting their physician. Your healthcare provider may suggest other medications to assist with erectile dysfunction, such as nitrates or calcium channel blockers, and if your symptoms continue, invasive testing such as transrectal ultrasound and pudendal arteriography to determine whether underlying issues could be contributing.
Nitric Oxide Relaxants
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a sexual issue affecting many people and can impact relationships as well as self-confidence issues and depression/stress levels. If you are having difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, as well as poor libido or disinterest in sexual relations, you must consult your physician.
Lifestyle changes and medications may help treat erectile dysfunction in Pakistan. Common medications include oral sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and avanafil (Stendra). Supplements like L-citrulline and L-arginine may help improve your body's nitric oxide levels to relax blood vessels and facilitate an erection, however, this doesn't work for all men with ED.
Alternative and complementary therapies for erectile dysfunction include acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Acupuncture can help relieve ED by improving blood flow and decreasing stress; treatments may also decrease pain, relax your muscles, and increase energy. Chinese herbal medicine has shown promising results in clinical studies; its components have been known to inhibit nitric oxide synthase activity, increase cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) expression levels, elevate testosterone levels, downregulate TGFb1/Smad2 signaling pathways or alleviate oxidative stress.
Vacuum Devices
A vacuum device consists of a pump with an attached ring that fits around the base of your penis, creating negative pressure to help encourage blood to flow to your penis and help create an erection. Once an erection has formed, a ring slips over its base to keep blood from draining back into your body - keeping an erection hard enough for sexual pleasure!
Your doctor may advise using a vacuum device four or five times each day and over several months until you see results. While these devices won't interfere with sexual performance or be well-tolerated by most users, some individuals may experience skin irritation, bruising, and reduced spontaneity during orgasms; those prone to blood clots or who have a history of vascular conditions should consult with them first before beginning use.
Your urologist may suggest vacuum devices if other treatments have failed to help you obtain an erection, including pills, injections, and surgical implants into the tip of your penis. Malleable implants are bendable rods you place inside your penis that allow you to manually position for sexual encounters without increasing or decreasing penis size; on the other hand, vacuum implants may cause bleeding during orgasms and cause purple spots or skin edema on its tip - two potential outcomes from vacuum implants if they prove unsuccessful in doing so.
Lifestyle Changes
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a medical condition affecting male reproductive organs. This condition can have devastating consequences, from altering one's self-image and relationship to increased stress levels. Thankfully, many treatments exist, such as medicine, surgery, and lifestyle modifications - so the first step should be discussing your symptoms with a healthcare provider or physician.
Medicine for ED comes in various forms - pills, injections or sublingual drops are all options - which should be taken about an hour before sexual activity to increase blood flow to your penis and help you obtain and sustain an erection. PDE5 inhibitors enhance the effects of natural relaxants made by your body such as nitric oxide that help relax the muscle in your penis.
Conclusion
Ginseng and saw palmetto can both provide aid for erectile dysfunction (ED). But before taking alternative medications orally such as these herbal products, always read their ingredients thoroughly and avoid combinations with prescription or nonprescription medicines for ED. Never purchase "herbal Viagra" or similar nonprescription oral remedies online as these may either not work or even contain harmful ingredients.
Other treatments for ED could include therapy or physical activity that improves circulation, and changing your diet to lower high blood pressure, diabetes, or cholesterol levels. You should also stop using illegal drugs and alcohol and quit smoking.
