FAQ

Can Erectile Dysfunction Treated by Operation?: The treatment method differs for each patient. We first identify whether erectile dysfunction is temporary or permanent symptom. Then, we establish treatment plan whether it has been caused by psychological factor or organic factor.
Recently, various treatment methods such as oral medicine, intracavernosal injection, and operation have been developed. Thus, it is common to apply the treatment plan based on the patient’s purpose and expectation for treatment.

How is Erectile Dysfunction Treated?: There are various effective treatments for erectile dysfunction. Although operational treatment was the only way to treat erectile dysfunction, huge number of patients successfully overcome erectile dysfunction based on various treatment methods. In the past, the operation involved connecting the other blood vessel to penile blood vessel when it lacks sufficient blood stream. Also, the operation involved blocking the vein when the blood stream is not maintained due to severe effusion. However, the long-term results for the operations were not satisfactory. Instead, only the penile prosthesis method was effective for a long time and the patient showed higher satisfaction.
Penile prosthesis is a device made of silicon and it induces artificial erection. Penile prosthesis is effective operation which is applied when after treatment methods failed to treat erectile dysfunction. In the past, some people inserted foreign substance below foreskin to make their aesthetic purpose. However, Inflatable Prosthesis Insertion is completely different from such esthetic surgery for appearance of the penis. Instead, Inflatable Prosthesis Insertion is a rehabilitative operation which should be applied only when the patient has organic erectile dysfunction and when other treatments cannot be applied.

My boyfriend Has Erection Issue. Is This Congenital Symptom?: There are some men who have erectile dysfunction from birth. However, most men have erection problem when they try sexual contact in unnatural circumstance. Here, unnatural circumstance includes premarital sexual contact and it refers to sexual contact which happens when psychological or surrounding circumstance is unstable. Thus, most sexual contacts that take place between people who are not married would be ‘Unnatural’.
Both men and women might be aware of such circumstance. Thus, they may have sexual issue even if they don’t have physical problems. This commonly happens on young people who lack or had less sexual contacts before.
However, if erection issue continues for years and doesn’t seem to get better even after regular attempts, your partner may have a sexual dysfunction although it is rare. If you are thinking about marrying your partner, it’s important to talk about the problem before you get married. I recommend you to visit a clinic for sexual dysfunction and consult with a doctor.

I Would Like To Know About Expense and Time for Inflatable Prosthesis Insertion: I guess this question is made by a patient who has erectile dysfunction. Although Inflatable Prosthesis Insertion takes up important part in treatment of erectile dysfunction, it’s not the primary treatment method for all patients with erectile dysfunction. Inflatable Prosthesis Insertion involves expansion of corpus cavernosum and insertion of prosthesis inside it. Therefore, the patient’s original physiological erectility is maintained after the operation.
If you have an erectile issue, visit a center for erectile dysfunction, consult with a doctor, share your medical history, get basic erection test. Then, the doctor will recommend noninvasive medical treatment, injection, vacuum compressor depending on the penile condition. When these treatment methods fail to treat the erectile dysfunction, Inflatable Prosthesis Insertion is conducted as the last measure.
Operation expense differs depending on the type of prosthesis. So, it’s hard to tell the exact operation expense. Please visit the clinic, consult with a doctor, and get treatment.

My Penis Hasn’t Been Erecting In Morning For A While. Do I Have Health Issue?: It’s very difficult to tell whether sexual contact between husband and wife is normal or abnormal. When a person cannot insert the penis because the penis wouldn’t erect or because erection wouldn’t last for a long time in 75 % of total sexual contacts, it is commonly defined as erectile dysfunction.
In this case, I highly recommend you to visit a clinic. However, declining erectile function, declining erection in early morning, and less sexual desire are part of aging.
However, if those problems happen complexly and you need help for your issue, get a treatment from a doctor and check on erectile dysfunction which might happen later. Regular exercise and pleasant attitude are the best ways for preventing various health issues and it’s great to get a regular check-up.
