You may be wondering about the impotence treatments that are available. The FDA has approved a few different Impotence treatments that you can talk to your doctor about. Penis pumps and ED pumps are the first Impotence treatment option explored by most doctors for men with erectile dysfunction or Impotence. Impotence and Erectile dysfunction affects one in eight men under the age of 50 and one in five men over the age of 50 every year. There are many different conditions that can cause ED including but not limited to heart disease, atherosclerosis, prostate issues and even stress.

The most recommended Impotence treatment is ED pumps or Penis pumps. These devices can be used alone or with medication, as they offer no side effects or drug interactions. Regardless of the cause of your ED, pumps can be used continuously. The cost of pumps can be a bit high out of pocket, but Medicare and some private insurance companies will cover part or all of the cost if medical necessity is proven. This can sometimes be done with a diagnosis of ED and a prescription. Impotence treatments also include medications. There are 3 medications on the market at this time: Cialias, Levitra and Viagra. Each of these Impotence treatments offers side effects, precautions due to health and can be expensive due to the fact the prescriptions must be continuously refilled. Planning goes into every sexual encounter with medications, as they must be taken ahead of time and pumps can be used immediately before sex.

Other Impotence treatments include surgery to reroute the blood flow to the penis and penile implants. These two Impotence treatments are the last suggested due to their permanency and risks involved. You should talk to your doctor about all the treatment options available to you, to see which will work best for your situation.
