If your problem is caused by anxiety, stress, or depression, your doctor may advise you to visit a counselor or psychologist.

5. Injection therapy:

Although It is an efficient and reliable way of causing an erection, many men don’t like sticking a needle into their penis every time they have sex. This injection relaxes the blood vessels and muscles, allowing increased blood flow and causing an erection within ten minutes.

6. Alternative ED treatments:

Sometimes, doctors may recommend different treatments if medications and natural remedies are ineffective in treating the problem. Such as:

Erectile dysfunction vacuum pumps:

It is a hollow tube with a battery-powered or hand-powered pump.

The tube is placed over the penis. Then the pump draws the air out of the tube, producing a vacuum to draw blood into the penis.

Once the erection happens, the ring around the penis base is slipped to hold in the blood and keep it firm. Then, the device is removed. The erection typically will last long enough for a couple to have sex.

If a pump is a good treatment option, your doctor recommends or prescribes a specific type that suits your needs.

Penile implants.

It is a surgical treatment involving placing two devices on both sides of the penis. These devices are either inflatable or malleable. Inflatable rods allow you to control the time and duration you have an erection, while the malleable ones keep the penis firm and, at the same time, bendable.

Penile implants are the last option until other treatments have been tried first. Although implants have a high satisfaction degree among men who have failed other remedies, there’s a risk of complications. Therefore, it is essential to choose a qualified consultant in the urology field who can accurately diagnose ED causes and suggest the most appropriate treatment for you.
