Intro to Non-Surgical Impotency Treatments

A variety of types of non-surgical impotency treatments have been used to help both men and women. Using the treatments you see described below can help with a variety of problems such as low libido and erectile dysfunction.

Below is a list of the various non-surgical impotency treatments commonly used today. You can take a look at the descriptions of each below.

Sex therapy-A variety of issues pertaining to low libido, inability to achieve an erection, or inability to experience an orgasm. This involves the professional assistance of a qualified counselor or psychologist to complete one of a variety of tasks: increase relaxation, improve sexual communication, create realistic sexual expectations. Self-esteem issues and anxieties that cause sexual dysfunction are also addressed. This is a solution that works for both men and women.

Oral medication-Certain prescription medications such as Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis are often used to help combat sexual problems. Yohimbine is a natural herb that provides a similar aphrodisiac and sexual improvement experience.

The main role of these medications or herbs is to help increase the blood flow to the clitoris in a woman or the penis in a man. As in the case of the three prescription medications (Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis) a certain enzyme is inhibited that leads to the blockage of an erection in a man.

There is no prescription equivalent of these three medications for a woman, though. However, a woman may be able to use the Yohimbine herb to help become sexual excited. It helps stimulate the nervous system of a person.

Injections-A man may be able to find injection forms of ED drugs to help him get an erection. These include alprostadil, Caverject®, Edex® and Regitine®. These produce similar results to Viagra but are injected into the penis rather than taken orally.

The concept is the same-to help increase blood flow to where a man needs it the most. No know equivalent is available for female impotency issues. However, as mentioned a variety of aphrodisiac herbs are available as well as aphrodisiac foods.

Urethral suppositories-These are options for men that work similar to injections or oral medications. The suppository is sent up the urethra of the penis through the penile opening. The suppository has in it prostaglandin otherwise known as aprostadil. Muse® (Medicated Urethral System for Erections) is an excellent example of such. This is another prescription solution that has been known to improve erections in about 60% of men.

Vacuum Devices-This is another solution that is meant for men. It helps bring blood into the penis so that an erection can be achieved.
