What is the treatment for erectile dysfunction?

There are a variety of options for treating erectile dysfunction. Options include: 

• Oral medications (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, Staxyn)
• Other medications:
  • Self-injections (e.g., Caverject, Edex, Bi-, Tri-, Quad-mix)
  • Penile suppository (e.g., MUSE)
• Penile pumps
• Penile implants (surgery)
• Penile vascular surgery (rarely performed)                                   

The cause, underlying health issues and risks, severity of condition, patient and partner preferences all play a crucial role in considering the course of treatment. Speak with your healthcare provider because sometimes your current medications can or should be adjusted.
