Red light therapy\u2019s effectiveness as a treatment for erectile dysfunction has not yet been proven through scientific study. For now, you\u2019d be wiser to spend your money on Viagra and other ED drugs that have a proven track record.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to its most devoted proponents, red light therapy is a cure — or at least a powerful treatment — for a host of medical conditions, not the least of which is erectile dysfunction. This makes red light therapy just the latest in a long list of treatments to enjoy its moment in the spotlight and then go on to either emerge as a legitimate proven treatment or to be forgotten as just another empty promise.<\/p>\n

And while the jury is still out on the efficacy of red light therapy as a treatment for ED, the absence of scientific evidence that it can live up to others\u2019 claims for it suggests that it may go the latter route. But, in fairness, only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Few Studies Thus Far<\/h3>\n

According to an article at Inverse.com<\/a>, scientific studies of the sexual benefits of red light therapy on men have been very limited thus far. However, the article notes that some animal studies indicate that this form of light therapy does influence Leydig cells, which reside in the testicles and help to regulate the production of sperm. And there\u2019s also been a study in humans showing that red light therapy can boost testosterone levels.<\/p>\n

A boost in testosterone levels in a man suffering from a lack of sexual desire might conceivably increase arousal that in turn could lead to an erection. But testosterone\u2019s role in erectile function itself is indirect.<\/p>\n

Urologist Sees No Proof<\/h3>\n

Urologist Marc Goldstein, M.D., director of Cornell Weill\u2019s Center for Male Reproductive Medicine & Microsurgery, told Inverse he\u2019s seen not a single controlled study that supports these claims for red light therapy.<\/p>\n

The buzz around the sexual and other benefits of red light therapy has already prompted thousands of men — and women — to shell out their money for at-home phototherapy units, according to an article at TheCut.com<\/a>. However, it remains to be seen whether this form of light therapy is really an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n

ED Drugs Do Work for Most Men<\/h3>\n

In the meantime, millions of men who suffer from ED caused by insufficient blood flow to the penis (the leading cause of male impotence) are finding relief from the oral drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors. These include Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, Staxyn, and Stendra, as well as the generic equivalents of the first three.<\/p>\n

Prices for these ED drugs, which have been proven safe and effective in most men who took them during clinical trials, are lower than ever, thanks to the relatively recent advent of generic competition. While science struggles to determine if red light therapy can safely treat ED, you can turn to these drugs with a proven reputation for doing so.<\/p>\n

If the convenience and privacy of ordering ED drugs online appeal to you, take a few minutes to check out the services available from eDrugstore.com, a longtime medical facilitator based in Tempe, Arizona. It serves as a middle-man between health consumers, physicians, and pharmacies.<\/p>\n
