Complete List of every known treatment option for Erectile Dysfunction

You’ve probably been searching the internet looking for all the available treatment options known to man for treating erectile dysfunction, to see if there is one that might suit you. Let us start by saying, there are many available options. For some men, a simple Viagra pill will do the trick, but for others, injection therapy might be the only option. Those are just two of many we are going to list.

This post is based on our very popular EDGuider Forum thread called “Concise List with Scientific Data on Every Currently Available Treatment”. It started on April 28th 2009 and was put together by our forum members who suffer from various types of erectile dysfunction. They decided to put their heads together, compile a list and share success stories to confirm if the treatment option worked:

From the Forum:

“Every one of us on this forum wants to know what actually works to help ED, but unfortunately, ED information on the internet is often untrustworthy. So, it will be a lot of fun to put our heads together to make one concise list of absolutely every currently available method of improving erectile function that has scientific data proving it can help with ED (supported by studies done on humans or animals). I use Google Scholar to find info. Hopefully we can all learn about treatments we haven’t seen before, then come back and share success stories as we try them.”
