Blood flow is the most important aspect of getting and maintaining an erection. For this reason, poor circulation can cause erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction may also be a result of other health issues, emotional problems, or both.

When a man is sexually aroused, nerves will release chemicals that will increase the flow of blood to the penis. The blood will flow into two chambers that are located in the penis. These chambers are made of spongy muscle tissues. This spongy muscle tissue is referred to as the corpus cavernosum. When a man gets an erection, the corpus cavernosum will relax and then trap the blood inside. The pressure of the blood inside of the chambers will cause the penis to become firm. This is what causes the penis to become hard.  Thus proper blood flow is critical to an erection.

Male sexual enhancement pills can help many men experience a full and active sex life. However, while these drugs enrich the lives of millions of users, they do host a range of side effects.

According to Mayo Clinic, the side effects of male sexual enhancement pills may include:

 

• Reddening of the face
• Persistent headaches
• Indigestion
• Vision changes
• Nasal congestion
• Back pain

 

There are many male enhancement pills on today’s market that are unregulated or have hidden active ingredients that are withheld from consumers. For these reasons alone, these drugs may not be a safe option for everyone as there might be side effects to these male sexual enhancement pills. After taking male enhancement pills, if one has trouble breathing, an irregular heartbeat, or an erection lasting longer than four hours, seek prompt medical attention.

At one point or another during their lifetime, a man may have difficulty getting an erection. An occasional inability to have or sustain an erection doesn’t automatically signal erectile dysfunction (ED). ED occurs when difficulty engaging in sexual activity becomes painful or impossible.

The Mayo Clinic states that the following symptoms could be an indicator of ED:

 

• Delayed orgasms
• Reduced libido
• Painful erections
• Inability to maintain or have an erection
• Difficulty reaching orgasm or ejaculating

 

Some of these signs can point to an underlying health condition, such as heart disease or diabetes. Seeking timely medical attention may help identify these severe conditions and prevent ED from worsening.

The Journal of General Internal Medicine states that in addition to the physical symptoms that come with ED, a host of psychological conditions can occur. Being unable to father a child through sexual intercourse or engage in physical intimacy can greatly impact a man’s mental health.

Common emotional issues can include:

 

• Reduced interpersonal intimacy
• Depressive symptoms
• Anxiety relating to sexual performance
• Lowered confidence and self-esteem
• Body dysmorphic disorder
• Reduced sexual interest
• Listlessness

 

Tomorrows Wellness Center can help determine what treatment options are best suited to addressing these issues.

Peyronie’s disease (PD) is caused by scarring underneath the skin of the penis that can cause curved, painful erections. Peyronie’s disease rarely heals itself in advanced stages. Without medical intervention, it’s likely to deeply impact the lives of those affected not only sexually, but psychologically as well.

However, there’s a revolutionary option that’s changing the lives of men nationwide. GAINSWave® therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses high-frequency, low-intensity shockwaves to break down the scar tissue that causes PD. This non-invasive procedure requires no medications and no painful shots. GAINSWave can help alleviate symptoms relating to erectile dysfunction and promote a better sex life.

Surgery can alleviate some symptoms of this condition. Doctors consider surgery for patients who fail to respond to nonsurgical therapy and whose symptoms last longer than 12 months, according to the University of California San Francisco (UCSF).

 

Peyronie’s disease is a painful condition resulting from scar tissue developing in the penis that causes curved, painful erections.

Surgical treatment options can include:

• Plication. Stitches are placed along the side of the penis to straighten the organ from the curvature position. The procedure typically takes about an hour of surgery and involves the patient being put under anesthesia. This operation is recommended for men with penis curvature less than 60 degrees.

 

• Grafting. This operation involves adding tissue to the shorter side of the penis or where internal scarring is most prominent. Grafting generally requires several hours of surgery and inpatient care, as this is recommended for men with a 60-degree penile deviation.

 

• Penile prosthesis. Severe cases of Peyronie’s disease may require a penile prosthesis. This procedure can aid in straightening the penis; however, it places patients at risk of developing an infection and is reserved for men who don’t respond to any type of medical intervention.

 

For many men with demanding schedules and romantic relationships, the aftereffects of surgery may not be the best option. However, thanks to advances in technology, men have additional options when choosing how to address their condition.

 

GAINSWave® therapy utilizes a wand that emits high-frequency, low-intensity sound waves to:

• Improve blood flow to the penis.
• Remove micro-plaque from penile blood vessels.
• Stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis.

 

With extracorporeal shockwave therapy, there is no need for anesthesia or hospital stays. The treatment occurs in the doctor’s office, in a method that is safe, efficient, and produces results. Each application of GAINSWave® therapy takes about 20 to 30 minutes, with a recommended six to 12 treatments for optimal results.
