Interestingly, and not surprisingly, most men with organic causes have a mental or psychological component, as well.

Can’t or don’t want to take ED drugs? The vacuum pump method is the next most common choice among men with erectile dysfunction who pass on pills, says Dr. Bennett. To create an erection, you place a plastic cylinder over the penis and pump the air out of the cylinder to force blood to flow into the penis. An elastic ring that you slide onto the base of your penis holds the erection. This ED treatment device is effective for about 75 percent of men. Side effects include numbness, bruising, and weak ejaculation — and the ring must be removed after 30 minutes.

Watts and coworkers, in their review article, make several points about this ED/CAD nexus. Endothelial dysfunction is present in both CVD and ED, and is linked through the NO mechanism. The authors note that PDE5 inhibitors improve endothelial function and have a salutary effect on both CVD and ED. Both ED and cardiac disease respond to modifications in lifestyle as well as pharmacologic manipulation. These authors also report that the presence of ED gives the clinician an opportunity to assess CVD and prevention as well.20

Why is this happening to me? What will happen in the next months and years if I do not get treatment? What will happen in the next months and years if I choose to have treatment? Which are the available treatment options? Which treatment option do you recommend for me? Why do you recommend this treatment option for me? What can I expect from that treatment? What are the possible side effects or risks of this treatment? Will it cure my condition? How long will I need to be treated for?
