Arteriogenic Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Treatment For Erectile DysfunctionAt Dot Clinics, we focus on personalized care to tackle arteriogenic ED effectively. Our treatments help to rectify confidence and improve sexual health of patients with erectile dysfunction.
What is Arteriogenic Erectile Dysfunction?
Arteriogenic erectile dysfunction happens when there isn’t enough arterial blood supply to the penis, making it tough to get or keep a penile erection. The most common cause of this is atherosclerotic lesions which is basically, cholesterol buildup that slows or blocks blood supply in erection-related arteries including cavernous arteries.
When the arteries to the penis shrink or clog, getting an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse becomes difficult.
Besides sexual health this condition can be an early warning sign of more common cardiovascular diseases like coronary artery disease. Overall wellness depends on awareness and management of arteriogenic ED.
Symptoms of Arteriogenic ED
Identifying arteriogenic ED involves recognizing specific symptoms:
- Gradual onset of erectile difficulties over time
- Inability to maintain an erection firm enough for intercourse
- Erections that are less rigid, particularly at the base of the penis
- Morning erections becoming less frequent or absent
- Reduced penile sensation during arousal
- Erections that subside quickly during sexual activity
- Difficulty achieving erections even with adequate stimulation
- Erectile difficulties that correlate with physical erection or fatigue
- Better erectile function from masturbation than from coupled sex, but still suboptimal
These symptoms can eventually make a person feel stressed and the person might also suffer from some interpersonal difficulties which, in turn, may affect the quality of life particularly if psychological factors are involved in the development of sexual impotence.
Causes of Arteriogenic Erectile Dysfunction
There are several reasons which lead to the development of arteriogenic ED.
- Atherosclerosis blocks blood flow by building up plaque in the arteries.
- Hypertension damages blood vessels and cuts down the blood flow.
- Diabetes harms blood vessels and nerves involved in erections.
- High cholesterol causes fat accumulation in arteries which limit blood flow.
- Obesity increases risk of heart and blood vessel problems which affect sexual function.
Managing these health concerns can greatly improve both sexual performance and overall health by leading to improvement in erectile function.
Diagnosing Arteriogenic ED
You can get effective treatment for ED if you have been diagnosed properly. At Dot Clinics, the evaluation procedure might include:
- Medical History – Review of lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol) and health conditions (diabetes, heart disease).
- Physical Exam – Inspection of penis and testicles.
- Blood Tests – Check for cholesterol, testosterone, and other key markers.
- Urinalysis – Detects diabetes, kidney issues, or other underlying conditions.
- Penile Doppler – Evaluates blood flow and vascular health.
- NPT Test – Monitors night-time erections to differentiate physical vs psychological ED.
Our doctors may recommend overnight testing to monitor spontaneous erections during sleep which can aid in deciding if the ED is caused by physical or psychological factors.
Advanced Treatment Options for Arteriogenic ED
At Dot Clinics, we take a personalized, science-backed approach to help men overcome arteriogenic ED.
- P-shot (Priapus Shot):
PShot is a natural, regenerative method which utilizes your own blood. We extract a small amount of your blood, spin it to concentrate platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and then carefully inject it to specific areas of the penis.-
How it Works:
- PRP treatment is filled with growth factors that stimulate the repair of blood vessels and tissues.
- These growth factors trigger angiogenesis (construction of new blood vessels), neural regeneration and collagen production.
-
What you Get:
- Stronger, firmer, more reliable erections.
- Improved blood flow and penile sensitivity.
- Increased stamina and sexual confidence.
- Natural enhancement of penile health, some men even notice gains in length and girth.
- No drugs, no surgery, minimal downtime.
- Shockwave therapy:
Shockwave Therapy uses low-intensity acoustic waves which are delivered directly to the penile tissue via a handheld device.-
How it Works:
- Acoustic waves form microtrauma in penile tissue, which motivates the body to repair and reproduce blood vessels.
- It stimulates angiogenesis, improves blood flow and tissue oxygen.
- It also increases nerve uplift, which can lead to better sensation and responsiveness.
-
What you Get:
- Improved natural erectile function.
- Better blood flow without medication.
- Enhanced sensation and sexual performance.
- A long-term solution that improves with time.
- No needles, no downtime, and discreet treatment sessions.
- HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) Therapy:
HIFEM treatment delivers electromagnetic energy to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles which helps to provide support and erectile control. Although it won't cure the underlying artery problems in arteriogenic ED, it can increase erection quality and help to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments like the P-Shot or shockwave therapy.
Dot Clinics use High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic therapy as a complementary treatment of erectile dysfunction. - Exosomes Therapy:
In Exosomes therapy, help in arteriogenic ED by promoting blood vessel regeneration and improving penile blood flow. - Radiofrequency Therapy:
In radiofrequency therapy, gentle heat is used which helps to increase pelvic region nerve sensitivity and blood flow. It doesn’t directly cure blocked arteries, but it can help improve local blood flow and tissue health, which supports better sexual reactions.
Radiofrequency can be useful when paired up with more targeted vascular therapies like shockwave or P-Shot.
Additional Treatment Options
While the advanced therapies are the standout treatments, a combination approach often delivers the best outcomes. Here's a look at complementary or alternative treatments:
- Lifestyle modifications:
Arteriogenic ED can be treated by slightly bringing change into your lifestyle such as, don’t smoke, refrain from alcohol, do exercise or workout daily, and eat healthy and balanced meals, all of which can support better arterial flow and sexual function. - Medications:
The medicines which doctors prescribe for the treatments of arteriogenic ED can be PDE5 inhibitors which are usually known by their labels such as sildenafil or tadalafil. As medicines have side effects, another option for ED treatment which can be used is intracavernosal injections in which medicine is injected into a penile tissue to generate an erection. - Medical Devices:
Vacuum erection devices are mechanical pumps that help draw blood into the penis and aid in achieving and maintaining an erection without medication even in the case of arterial disease. - Surgical Options:
In more extreme situations, urologists might prefer surgical penile implants which are installed to enable manual control over erections. To repair or bypass blocked arteries and return normal blood flow to the penis, vascular surgery may also be carried out.
