Erectile Dysfunction

At Prema Health, we understand that every man’s experience with ED is unique, so we provide personalised treatment plans to meet individual needs. Our treatment options may include:

Lifestyle modifications – for many men, simple lifestyle changes can significantly improve erectile function. We offer guidance on healthy eating, regular exercise, weight management, and quitting smoking. These changes can enhance blood flow, reduce stress, and improve overall health, contributing to better erectile function.

Oral medications – phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors) such as Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil), and Levitra (vardenafil) are common first-line treatments for ED. These medications enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical the body produces to relax muscles in the penis and increase blood flow. Our friendly doctors at Prema Health carefully prescribe these medications based on your medical history and current health status.

Vacuum erection devices – a vacuum erection device is a non-invasive treatment that involves placing a plastic cylinder over the penis and using a pump to create a vacuum. This vacuum draws blood into the penis, causing an erection. A tension ring is then placed at the base of the penis to maintain the erection. This method is particularly useful for men who prefer a non-pharmacological approach.

Injections and suppositories – for men who do not respond to oral medications, we offer penile injections or intraurethral suppositories. Medications such as alprostadil can be injected directly into the base or side of the penis or inserted as a tiny suppository into the urethra. These treatments help increase blood flow to the penis, resulting in an erection within minutes.

Hormone therapy – if ED is caused by low testosterone levels, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be recommended. TRT can be administered via injections, patches, gels, or pellets, helping to restore hormonal balance and improve erectile function.
Psychological counselling – since psychological factors can contribute to ED, we also provide access to counselling services. Our therapists help men address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues that may be affecting their sexual health.

Treating ED at Prema Health offers numerous benefits. Improved erectile function leads to a more satisfying sex life, which can enhance intimacy and strengthen relationships. Men often experience a boost in self-confidence and overall well-being. Addressing underlying health issues can also contribute to better physical health, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and other conditions associated with ED.

At Prema Health, our dedicated doctors are committed to providing a supportive and discreet environment where men can discuss their concerns and receive effective, personalised care. By addressing ED comprehensively, we help men regain control of their sexual health and improve their overall quality of life.

Beyond the physical and psychological factors directly causing erectile dysfunction (ED), there are several associated conditions and concerns that may coexist and require attention, including:

Cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) and hypertension (high blood pressure) can impair blood flow to the penis.

Diabetes can cause damage to blood vessels and nerves that control erections. Managing blood sugar levels effectively can improve ED in diabetic patients.

Obesity and other metabolic conditions, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol levels are common contributors. Our weight management service can help with this issue.

Low testosterone levels and other symptoms such as fatigue, reduced muscle mass, and mood changes are other considerations, helped through Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

Anxiety, depression, and stress can worsen erectile function. Counselling or therapy can address these psychological factors.

Some medications used to treat conditions such as hypertension, depression, and prostate conditions can cause or exacerbate ED. Adjusting medications or switching to alternatives may be necessary.

ED can strain intimate relationships and lead to communication problems or feelings of inadequacy. Couples therapy or counselling may be beneficial to address relationship issues and improve sexual intimacy.

Identifying and addressing these associated conditions alongside ED treatment can lead to comprehensive care and better overall health outcomes. At Prema Health, our approach focuses on addressing the underlying causes of ED and providing personalised treatment plans to improve both sexual and overall health.
