If a medicine you need for another health condition is causing ED, we will refer you back to the health care provider who prescribed it with the hope that the prescriber may suggest a different dose or different medicine.

Talk with your doctor about going to a counselor if psychological or emotional issues are affecting your ED. A counselor can teach you how to lower your anxiety or stress related to sex. Your counselor may suggest that you bring your partner to counseling sessions to learn how to support you. As you work on relieving your anxiety or stress, your ED specialist can focus on treating the physical causes of ED.

Your ED specialist may suggest that you make the following lifestyle changes to help reduce or improve ED: quit smoking, limit or stop alcohol consumption, increase physical activity, lose weight if you are heavy, and stop using illegal drugs.  Dr. Vigor and our affiliates can help if you have trouble making these changes on your own.

Our ED specialists may recommend testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if you have low levels of this hormone in your blood and don’t have any contraindications to receiving TRT.

At Dr. Vigor, we carefully optimize testosterone levels to help our patients feel more youthful and vibrant. This measured approach is called Calibrated TRT.

In addition to improving energy levels, sex drive, and mood, Calibrated TRT also has the potential to reduce or improve ED.

ROKKOK™ ED shockwave treatments have an impressive 70% success rate in improving erection strength and duration

Patients must complete the entire series of ROKKOK treatments to get the most out of this popular procedure.

The Moby shot is an alternative treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie’s disease [a condition in which scar tissue causes the penis to curve when erect].  The Moby shot is also used as an experimental treatment to enhance penis size, general sexual function, and orgasm intensity.

The Moby shot takes Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from your own blood and injects it into your penis.  The goal with the Moby shot is to concentrate and use your own platelets to potentially treat ED and enhance your erections.

All of these medicines work by relaxing smooth muscles and increasing blood flow in the penis during sexual stimulation.

Many men get stronger erections by injecting a medicine called alprostadil link into the penis, causing it to become filled with blood. Although oral medicines can improve your response to sexual stimulation, they do not trigger an automatic erection like injectable medicines do.

Instead of injecting the medicine into the penis, some men elect to insert an alprostadil suppository into their urethra. A suppository is a solid piece of medicine that you insert into your body where it dissolves. An ED specialist can prescribe a prefilled applicator which you can use to insert the pellet about an inch into your urethra. An erection will begin within 8 to 10 minutes and may last 30 to 60 minutes.
