Erectile Dysfunction Isn’t Talked About in Men’s Circles, So It’s Easy Not To Know How Common It Is Or That It’s Treatable With Drug-Free Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction.
Men, you know your friends aren’t going around talking about erectile dysfunction much. It’s an issue that no man wants to admit they have.
It’s often one that men suffer with in silence because they don’t want to visit a doctor for fear of judgment.
However, it’s more common than you realize, and Dr. Shel creates a comforting environment where you can share openly about erectile dysfunction in Houston, TX.
Let today be the day you get back to enjoying your sex life and feeling confident in the bedroom.
It’s a Common Problem
You may feel like you’re one of the few men who aren’t having a satisfactory sex life due to erectile dysfunction. Not to sound cliché, but you aren’t alone. In fact, there’s a chance that one or more of your friends are also experiencing the same. It’s estimated that up to 77 percent of men worldwide suffer from it.
Age Is Nothing but a Number
When it comes to ED, age is nothing but a number. Men can experience erections well into their 60s, 70s, and 80s and have active sex lives. You’re more likely to stop sexual relations with your partner for other reasons, such as physical limitations, their significant other’s hormonal changes, or the lack of a partner, as some studies show older men tend to masturbate more than have sex once they age.
Rather than being a sign of aging, erectile dysfunction is usually related to health, either mental or physical. It’s not something that happens just because you’re over 40, 50, 60, or so forth.
Statistics Aren’t Showing the Whole Picture
As humans in the 21st century, it’s normal for us to jump on the computer and research to help us understand or feel better. So if you’ve already looked up statistics about ED in the past and noticed they vary immensely or are only an estimate, there’s a good reason for that.
Men often associate their manliness with their sex life and how well they please their partner. That’s probably partially evolutionary, considering men were expected to procreate.
However, when studies are done, men aren’t always completely honest about their erectile dysfunction. They may deny it completely or downplay it. Therefore, the statistics are a bit skewed, and more men may be suffering than anyone realizes.
Talking to Your Partner Is a Healthy Way to Deal with It
First and foremost, every partner is different. Some are more understanding than others. And some individuals may not care much if sex is a regular event in your lives together.
Instead of not speaking about it and possibly pushing a significant other away, consider discussing it openly with your partner and talking about the possibility of getting treatment. Your partner may give you some encouragement and put your mind at ease.
ED Isn’t a Defining Factor of Your Masculinity
Every man has a different sex drive. Some crave it every day, while others are fine with sex only once or twice every few weeks. Everything from hormone levels to stress at home or work to the quality of a person’s relationship can impact sex drive. Even as a teenager, some men experience more spontaneous erections than others.
When you look at this from the other side of the fence, it remains the same. Every man is different, and ED doesn’t define who he is. It’s not showing you’re not as manly as you were before. Experiencing it is merely a change in sexual function, one that can often be addressed.
Your Doctor Isn’t Judging You
You may instantly think your physician is secretly judging or laughing at you, but a doctor is trained to provide care without passing judgment. A physician shows empathy and is compassionate about patient concerns.
When you walk into the office, it’s a safe space for you to share the issues you’re having openly and honestly. The physician will then take the reins and guide you to treatment options and help you find the one that’ll work effectively and meet your desires.
Treatment Isn’t Limited to Medications
At one time, ED medications were the main treatment approach. Ads don’t help, either, because these drug companies are the ones pushing for people to use their medications over any other options. Some men just don’t want to take that approach, so they avoid getting help to improve their sex lives.
However, you have options to treat erectile dysfunction in Houston, TX, that don’t require you to take a medication 30 minutes prior to sex.
For instance, shockwave therapy uses low-intensity shockwaves to increase blood flow. It may even promote blood vessel growth. Don’t let the name “shockwave” scare you, though, because it only causes a mild tingling sensation.
The treatment is non-invasive and provides lasting results after you have had the designated number of sessions. It causes minimal side effects, and they’re usually mild and short-lived. Because it’s non-medicated, you can usually use it, even if you take other types of medications. Plus, your sessions are quick, usually lasting only 15 to 20 minutes.
Another option is the P-Shot. While it is an injectable treatment, it uses your platelets and plasma to encourage healing and promote blood flow. As a bonus, it often increases sensitivity and girth. The treatment is long-lasting, with men usually seeing results for a year or longer. Many men only need one injection, but some may need a booster after the first.
Overall, it’s a quick treatment with sessions lasting about 30 to 45 minutes each.
