Erectile dysfunction treatment should be stepped, not procedure-first
Erectile dysfunction has many possible causes, and treatment usually starts with assessment and less-invasive options before surgery is considered.
Assessment can include
- cardiovascular and metabolic health
- diabetes
- medications
- testosterone/endocrine factors
- psychosexual factors
- neurological or vascular disease
- Peyronie's disease
- prior prostate/pelvic treatment
Treatment options
Treatment may include lifestyle/risk-factor optimisation, tablets, injection therapy, vacuum devices, and surgery. A penile implant is generally considered when less-invasive options are ineffective, unsuitable, or unacceptable after informed discussion.
