If you’re dealing with erectile dysfunction (or rather, NOT dealing with it), you’re not alone.
According to the U.S. News World Report article, “Most Men With Erectile Dysfunction Don’t Seem to Get Treatment,” in a study of 6 million patients aged 30 and older who received a diagnosis of erectile dysfunction, 75% either didn’t receive or didn’t fill prescriptions.
Who is least likely to get treated?
According to Dr. Brian Helfand, lead researcher of the study, older men were the least likely to get treated. In fact, only 18% of men 65 and older were treated.
The percentage is even lower for men with prostate cancer. Only 15% were treated for ED.
Why don’t men get treatment for ED?
Helfand has several theories about why men aren’t being treated for impotence.
If the doctor isn’t writing a prescription, it could be because they don’t think the man is a candidate for ED drugs, or because they didn’t respond to ED drugs in the past.
According to Helfand, if the men did receive a prescription but didn’t follow through to get it filled at a pharmacy, it could be due to embarrassment. It could also be due to costs, as some ED drugs are as high as $50 a pill.
Other explanations
Dr. Jacob Rajfer, a professor of urology with David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles is hesitant to draw the conclusion that three in four men who have an ED diagnosis are not treated.
In the U.S. News World Report article, he points out that those statistics don’t fit with what he sees in clinical practice. “In order to determine how many men were treated or not treated,” he said, “you need to interview the people.”
Dr. Rajfer’s argument is that men may go out of the country to get cheaper ED drugs or get them by mail order.
