If you want to feel more confident about your erections, ED treatment can be appropriate for you.

• You wish to enhance your sexual health

• You don't have a history of heart disease or hypertension.

Eighty percent of cases of erectile dysfunction have an organic etiology, according to research. For instance, erectile dysfunction may indicate underlying heart problems. Moreover, it can be a typical aspect of aging or a negative effect of some drugs, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In addition, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, anxiety, and depression are risk factors for ED.

PDE5 inhibitors, including as tadalafil (Cialis) and sildenafil (Viagra), have been hailed as "revolutionary" in clinical research for the treatment of ED. Why? These drugs function quickly, have a well-established safety profile, and have a success rate of 60–70%. Studies recommend trying a different PDE5i if you've already tried one type and it didn't work for you. When all three ED medications are used at various periods, nearly 90% of men report better erections. If you want ED medications to function as intended, you must adhere to the prescribed dosage instructions. Research has indicated that the majority of men who expressed dissatisfaction with sildenafil (Viagra) were likely misusing their medicine.

You take vardenafil (Levitra) and sildenafil (Viagra) as needed, approximately an hour before you intend to have sex. Physicians advise taking them without food. The only ED drug that may be used every day at a reduced dose so it stays in your system longer is tadalafil (Cialis), even though it can only be taken as needed. It can facilitate more spontaneous sexual encounters when taken everyday. Food may be consumed together with it or not. One PDE5 inhibitor that is not as frequently recommended is avanafil (Stendra). It does not come in generic form, but it functions more quickly than the other as-needed drugs. This might raise the cost of avanafil therapy. When recommending a course of therapy, your clinician will take your medical history and preferences into account. The most effective medication for ED will be the one that fits your lifestyle and has the best safety profile for your unique physiology.

Your doctor will write your remote prescription after considering your lifestyle, preferences, and medical history if they decide PDE5 inhibitors are the best course of action for you. The consumer and the drug will determine how much is supplied each month. Prescriptions for daily tadalafil (Cialis) may be written as a 30-day supply, consisting of 30 tablets plus refills. Prescriptions for vardenafil, sildenafil, or tadalafil that are written on an as-needed basis can be written for a set number of tablets per month plus refills. The frequency of your medicine use may be taken into account by your prescribing practitioner. When your refills run out, you'll have to ask for a new prescription, which will need another ED visit to ensure your medicine isn't changing.

Yes. To provide you with an erectile dysfunction treatment plan that is medically appropriate, your doctor needs to know your blood pressure. You can utilize a blood pressure result that you obtained during the previous 12 months. You can use a home blood pressure monitor or go to your primary care physician or local pharmacy to receive a new reading on your blood pressure.

Yes. You can begin therapy for premature ejaculation by visiting the Optum Clinic's page on the condition. What distinguishes the various conditions? Men who ejaculate too early are said to have premature ejaculation, whereas those who have erectile dysfunction (ED) struggle to keep an erection going. Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can happen simultaneously. Clinicians typically advise treating ED first before beginning therapy for premature ejaculation if you are having both symptoms.
