What is erectile dysfunction (ED)?
An erection happens when brain and nerve impulses respond to mental or sensory stimulation. Those organs act like switches to send a “turned-on” signal to the penis, which is full of fine and complex muscles called the corpora cavernosa. That “turned-on” signal then causes spongy muscle tissue inside the penis to relax and arteries to ramp up their blood flow to the spongy tissue. So, as blood flow increases, the penis lengthens and expands, and the veins that would ordinarily allow blood to drain back into the body close off so the blood has no choice but to stay inside the penis. Once the penis reaches its maximal size, the strong spongy tissue will hold its size and shape quite well, even as more blood flows into the penis. Like a bike pump, the penis will get bigger until it reaches it maximal size.

Are there nonsurgical treatments for ED?
Yes, there are several nonsurgical options for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. ED is typically an easily-treatable problem, and often changes in lifestyle are an effective method. Taking steps to end chronic drinking, quit smoking, or to lose weight can help. Some medications can also cause ED, so it is important to talk to your doctor.
Beyond lifestyle changes, patients have a number of choices. Oral medications like Viagra have high rates of success, and even newer alternatives to Viagra are available through Dr. Spitz’s office.
Injection therapy, in which medication is injected directly into the penis, is unique in that the dosage is customized to the patient’s needs. This procedure is also safe for men with different kinds of physical conditions or men for whom oral medications aren’t effective. Men can even learn to inject themselves to achieve erections.
Another option for treatment is a vacuum device. An external pump is placed briefly over the penis to create a vacuum that draws blood into the penis. A constriction ring is then placed at the base of the penis to keep blood trapped there to maintain an erection. The ring can be kept in place for up to 30 minutes.
What is a penile implant?
These implants are safe and very reliable. They offer a natural-looking, natural-feeling erection that the patient can control whenever he’d like. Most men say the implants are unnoticeable and that they’re very happy with them. The procedure has more than a 90-percent satisfaction rate among patients, and an even higher rate among their partners!
