A very rare but more serious visual complication is shared by all PDE5 inhibitors. This would be non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). A number of cases have been reported and generally risk factors for this very rare form of blindness are severe cardiovascular conditions. In summary, men at high-risk for cardiovascular disease with congestive heart failure or unstable angina should not receive treatment for sexual dysfunction until their cardiac condition has stabilized. The FDA advises patients to stop taking these medicines and call a doctor immediately, if they experience sudden or decrease vision loss in one or both eyes. Furthermore, patients taking or considering taking these products should inform their healthcare professionals if they have ever had severe loss of vision, which may reflect a prior episode of NAION. Such patients are at an increased risk of developing NAION again.

The evaluation of a man who presents to our office includes an open, honest and absolutely confidential discussion about the current sexual function and overall medical health. A thorough physical exam and generalized, as well as specialized, bloodwork are often done. We also offer patients blood circulation studies of the penis to further delineate the cause of ED. At Broward Urology Center, we focus on a goal-oriented approach to erectile dysfunction treatment. The treatment options for ED include: The Priapus Shot Or P-Shot® PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Penile Injection
Conclusions are based on a combination of patients’ own evaluations of whether their erection had improved, and more objective measures such as circulation of blood through the penis.
Injections work quite well for most men, but not everyone is willing to stick a needle into one's penis. Most of my patients actually do quite well after a teaching session that we do in the office. It also helps that the needle is tiny and the part of the penis where you have to inject does not generally hurt.
• Nerve damage from pelvic surgery or radiation (e.g. treatment of prostate, bladder, or rectal cancer) or from conditions known to lead to neuropathy (e.g. HIV, diabetes)

A meta-analysis of 36 744 men with ED in 12 prospective cohort studies found that the presence of ED significantly increased the risk of CVD, CAD, stroke and all-cause mortality, and the presence of ED was an independent risk factor for CVD. Ponholzer et al found that men with moderate to severe ED had a 65% increased relative risk for developing symptomatic CAD compared with men who did not have ED.26

Diagnostic injections of impotence medications by the treating physician are also considered medically necessary.
The Sexual Advice Association has factsheets on medicines and other treatments for erectile dysfunction.
The key to all of this is the endothelium, the inner lining of blood vessels that helps blood flow smoothly. Regular exercise has been shown to improve the way the endothelium works. The endothelium lines the blood vessels in the heart and the penis, explains Dr. Hellstrom, but the blood vessels in the penis are about one-third the size of those in the heart. So if you fail to have erections due to vascular problems, that indicates that you’re at risk for heart problems as well.
