Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

Yes you may. My husband is 62. He has experienced impotency since his later 40's. He used the shots back then, they worked great, since then they were discontinued. He has tried all the pills, with little success. He has been to several urologists, the last one prescribed the new injections called caverject, 20mcg. They produce an erection for about a minute so they do not last. He has tried taking one of the different pills also, but to no avail. He can get an erection, but it will not maintain. Is there anything else we can do?

Hello
Thanks for query .
The problem of erectile dysfunction of your husband seems to be mostly vasculogenic in origin due to atherosclerotic changes in penile artery which is common at this age.

Since he does not get hard erection even after taking drugs and intra cavernosal injections I would suggest him to go for Penile Implant prosthesis so that both of you can have enjoyable sex for rest of your life .
