What is Erectile Dysfunction
(ED)?
Erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) is defined
as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient
for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Most men consulting
the doctors of the Boston Medical Group can achieve an
erection, but it is usually not as firm or as lasting
as it once was.
It happens to the best of us!
Erectile dysfunction is very common. Although it tends
to be more common in the over 40-year-old age group, it
can affect men of all ages. In mid 1992, the results of
the world's largest erectile dysfunction study (the Male
Massachusetts Ageing Study or MMAS) became available.
| These results showed that: |
| • |
52% of all men between the ages
of 40 and 70 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. |
| • |
At least one in ten men cannot get
an erection at all (referred to as "complete
erectile dysfunction") |
| • |
The majority of causes of erectile
dysfunction are physical in nature |
| • |
There is a strong association between
age and ED: 39% of men at the age of 40 and 67%
at the age of 70 are affected by either minimal,
moderate or complete ED. |
Treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Before a treatment option can be offered, your problem
must be diagnosed correctly. Hence a thorough medical
assessment is undertaken, including the testing of blood
flow using a Doppler
ultrasound and of nerve conduction using biothesiometry
studies. Click
here for more details.
These pain-free and noninvasive tests enable the doctor
to immediately provide an explanation as to the cause
of your problem. Patients can begin treatment immediately
and usually only one consultation (of about 1 1/2 hours)
is required.
In fact, if you were to visit to any one of the Boston
Medical Group's clinics today, by tonight you will most
likely be able to perform with confidence and success.
Furthermore, as many of the treatments that are recommend
by the doctors of the Boston Medical Group actually improve
blood-flow, the majority of patients find that after using
the medication for the time recommended by the doctor,
they no longer need it.
That's right, the majority of our patients are cured.
