\"\"Millions of men have turned to lifestyle medications like Viagra or Cialis to treat Erection Health Issues. These medications enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical the body produces that relaxes muscles in the penis. This increases blood flow and allows men to get an erection in response to sexual stimulation.<\/p>\n

Alternatives to Viagra<\/strong><\/p>\n

These oral medications aren\u2019t a silver bullet. While Viagra<\/a> and Cialis work for the majority of men, for some, they aren\u2019t effective. The Mayo Clinic<\/a> website lists several other medications are used to treat Erection Health Issues:<\/p>\n

Alprostadil self-injection.<\/strong> With this method, you use a fine needle to inject alprostadil (Caverject Impulse, Edex) into the base or side of your penis. In some cases, medications generally used for other conditions are used for penile injections on their own or in combination. Each injection generally produces an erection that lasts about an hour. Because the needle used is very fine, pain from the injection site is usually minor. Side effects can include bleeding from the injection, prolonged erection and formation of fibrous tissue at the injection site.<\/p>\n

Alprostadil penis suppository.<\/strong> Alprostadil intraurethral (Muse) therapy involves placing a tiny alprostadil suppository inside your penis in the penile urethra. You use a special applicator to insert the suppository into your penile urethra. The erection usually starts within 10 minutes and lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Side effects can include pain, minor bleeding in the urethra, and formation of fibrous tissue inside your penis.<\/p>\n

Testosterone replacement.<\/strong> Some men have Erection Health Issues caused by low levels of the hormone testosterone, and may need testosterone replacement therapy.<\/p>\n
