Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

If you cannot gain an erection strong enough for penetration at least 50% of the time, you should be screened for erectile dysfunction. ED is primarily diagnosed through a comprehensive medical and sexual history. Additional tests may be needed when ED is secondary to another condition or chronic illness.

The terms are generally used to mean the same thing. Impotence is more often used for a more serious case of ED, where a man cannot get an erection at all.

Effective treatment always begins with uncovering the underlying cause. Men's Clinic South Africa starts with a confidential consultation to establish a baseline and identify anything more serious that may be causing your ED. We then recommend a natural, herbal treatment matched to your body and circumstances, and adjust it as you progress. Many men are able to reduce their treatment over time.

Prescription ED medications can cause headaches, facial flushing and upset stomach, especially at higher doses. Our treatments are made from natural ingredients, with no injections and no surgery – but natural does not mean suitable for everyone, so discuss any medication or condition with us first. If you ever experience symptoms that concern you, seek medical help immediately.

ED is often a symptom of an underlying condition. It can result from a problem with the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles or blood vessels. Common causes include heart disease, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, low testosterone, Peyronie's disease, certain medications, tobacco use, alcohol or substance abuse, prostate treatment, and injuries.
