Aside from you turning over a new leaf in self-care, your doctor has an impressive array of help to offer. For one thing, although most erection problems have a physical basis, once you've failed, you also have an emotional problem. The single most powerful influence on regaining function may be learning to control performance anxiety. The fear of being unable to perform produces chemicals that have a powerfully deflating effect. With counseling for both a man and his partner, it can be overcome.
Urologists can take care of the physical side of most any erection problem.
There are a number of new pharmacological solutions that can be injected or absorbed into the penis to produce strong and lasting erections. Oral medications are helpful for some. Mechanical devices such as vacuum pumps prove effective for many men. Occasionally, surgery can correct flow problems. And if all else fails, a penile implant will do the job.
