Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

I have experienced ED for some time now. I am 69 years old. However, I can sometimes still get an erection, but it doesn t last. Some time ago, my family medicine doctor told me there was a device, much like a tourniquet, that could be tightened around the base of the penis to help maintain the erection. She also told me it could be purchased at a pharmacy, but she never gave me the name of the device. Are you familiar with what she referred to?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are devices and medication that can be used for erectile dysfunction.

Medication would include cialis, levitra, viagra.

Devices would include--(1)constriction devices which is placed at the base of the penis. A person would ask for a constriction device for ED

(2)vacuum devices- this refers to a plastic device that is placed over the penis

You may want to consider speaking to an urologist to find out what is the best option for you

I hope this helps
