Edguider Online Blog on ED, viagra, cialis and levitra

During the past few years there have been quite a few studies done on alternative means for treating Erectile Dysfunction. Everything from venom found in Brazilian spiders to jellyfish stings that have be known to cause erections in men. Currently the top three treatment options are the ones most men worldwide have heard about Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. These medications work for most men but the downside is they have to take them at least 30 minutes before each sexual act. A new option that is being studied using shock treatments is showing promise to not only treat ED, but the function should continue even after treatment is completed

According to reports posted on LiveScience, researchers have been experimenting with shock treatments in which shocks were delivered to the penis in attempts to help cure Impotence. The first rounds of tests were done on animals, in which scientists have found that old blood vessels can generate fresh new ones. These new blood vessels then allow better blood flow to the penis. Another study was conducted on 20 participating men slightly over 50 years of age. More than 300 shockwaves were given to men in 5 different regions of the penis 2 times a week for just under 1 month. Once completed the routine was then repeated again 3 weeks later.

So did this procedure work and does it hurt?
Out of the 20 men that participated in the study 15 of them reported improvements with sexual function, including being able to obtain morning erections. Most of them said the procedure was painless and they had no apparent side effects whatsoever. The men also reported successful erection function after completing the treatment, which in some cases helped then stop their dependency on PDE-5 medications such as Viagra.

Will this procedure be available to all men soon?
According to one of the doctors conducting the study further tests and evaluation is needed. Dr. Vardi mentions “We are very excited by our findings but it’s important to emphasize that they are preliminary and that further evaluation is needed using sham control and long-term follow-up”

So, it still might be a while before we see this treatment option available.
