In a world of diabetes, smoking, cardiac diseases, as well as, higher incidences of prostate cancer, enlarged prostate Erectile Dysfunction/ED are more common than ever. Although it might feel like the individual’s complication it really does have an essential impact on a couple’s life together.
It is important for a man to consult a physician when symptoms of ED first arise for proper diagnosis.
SYMPTOMS OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION/ED:

3. BOTH
Don’t let embarrassment prevent you from seeking the help that can make a difference. It is important to understand that you are not alone and there are options that can help. ED is not something that anyone should be expected to live with and it is important to note that It is not a common symptom of aging.
Everyone’s situation is different that is why it is important to be properly evaluated by a physician. Once you seek a physician’s help they may suggest a change in daily activity such as switching up your diet and/or introducing medications to help improve the issue. Finding the right treatment option for each individual patient is important in returning quality of life to the patient and their partner. Not all treatment options are the same, some men may not receive the result they hoped for or the treatment may not last as long as anticipated. In these cases a penile implant might be the best option for returning the quality of life a couple is looking for.

The end result is an implant that looks and feels natural to both partners.
