The most popularly recommended impotence treatment is ED pumps or penis pumps. Penis pumps and ED pumps are the first recommendation by doctors for men with erectile dysfunction or Impotence. Since Impotence or Erectile dysfunction generally has underlying conditions that cause it, doctors want to treat the underlying condition prior to treating the ED. The reason that pumps are the most popular Impotence treatment is the fact that they offer no side effects, no drug interactions and immediate results unlike all other Impotence treatments.

Impotence treatments are in classes: invasive and non invasive. The only non invasive Impotence treatments are pumps and medications. Medications do have drug interactions, side effects and can be quite expensive. Pumps on the other hand offer none of these, and can sometimes be paid for with Medicare or private insurance. Medical necessity is a requirement for these payment options, therefore a diagnosis of ED for this Impotence treatment may be necessary along with a prescription. Pumps are only paid for once and you then have the unlimited use of the pump as long as you need it. Medications require refills and these can be costly even with insurance, since Medicare does not cover it.

Invasive Impotence treatments includes surgery to reroute the blood flow to the penis, injections and penile implants. Penile implants as an Impotence treatment along with surgery are both last resorts for doctors to turn to. Impotence treatments such as these offer permanent changes in the physiological workings of the penis, and therefore can also have serious side effects or not work at all. All invasive treatments carry risk and side effects, even when they are performed properly and there are no complications. Therefore doctors try to avoid these if possible other treatments can work.

In order to find the right treatment for you, talk to your doctor about what is available.
