Vacuum Erection Devices to Treat Erectile Dysfunction

Dear Readers:

I want to talk about Erectile Dysfunction and the most important self treatment for men with ED is the use of Vacuum Erection Devices. Guys, all of our lives, or most of our life, we experienced waking up with a nice firm erection. Most men don't even think about morning erections as we were just used to this happening without any impute from us. Morning erections were extremely important in the health of our penis. That morning erection exercised and expanded the spongy tissue in our corpora while delivering much needed oxygen to all parts of the male penis. Men who develop Erectile Dysfunction have either low hormone levels, poor circulation, or damaged nerves which effect the man's erection. Over a period of time, our erections become less and less firm and this begins a breakdown in our penis. Current research is beginning to show that just taking viagra or cialis when we want to have sexual intercourse is not fully addressing the problems that impotence is causing to our bodies. Many of you who travel to my blog are considering penile implant surgery. You want the best outcome possible. Guys, I have talked to a hundred or so men like myself who have experience the penile implant experience. I also worked in Histo-Pathology as a registered Histotechnologist for 17 years. I left due to severe carpel tunnel syndrome. A Histologist is someone who works in the part of laboratory medicine that deals with tissue diagnosis. Any time you have surgery and have a part of you removed, it goes to Histology for diagnosis. So I know my way around the human anatomy. Before you decide to have penile implant surgery, or if you just aren't sure right now, talk to your urologist and have him right you a prescription for a quality Vacuum Erection pump such as the models from OSBON. With a primary diagnosis of ED, the majority of insurance plans will cover the cost under Durable Medical Devices. I'm going to give you a small part of an article that appeared in UroToday.com. This article is of particular interest for men who have undergone a Radical Prostatectomy. You guys really need to heed this article. The location of this article is at: http://www.urotoday.com/42/browse_categories/prostate_cancer/vacuum_erection_devices_to_treat_erectile_dysfunction_and_early_penile_rehabilitation_following_radical_prostatectomy__abstract.html Vacuum erection devices (VED) are becoming first-line therapies for erectile dysfunction and preservation (rehabilitation) of erectile function following treatment for prostate cancer. Currently, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors have limited efficacy in elderly patients or patients with moderate to severe diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Alternative therapies, such as VED, have emerged as a primary option for patients refractory to oral therapy. VED has also been successfully used in combination treatment with oral therapy and penile injections. More recently, there has been interest in the use of VED in early intervention protocols to encourage corporeal rehabilitation and prevention of post-radicalprostatectomy venoocclusive dysfunction.
