St. Pete Urology offers an array of ED treatments, starting from lifestyle changes like diet and exercise to improve erectile function. If non-medicinal methods are unfruitful, medications become necessary. However, if other medications fail, diverse tools such as a vacuum erection device, a urethral suppository or a penile injection may be used to induce an erection.
One of the last resorts is a penile prosthesis which, as Dr. Laryngakis describes, is a “device that is implanted to give the patient an erection when they want to. It’s a permanent internal device and usually, it’s an inflatable penile prosthesis to achieve erections.” This may feel daunting, but remember – it’s a common device used in the United States, and it significantly improves patients’ quality of life.
