What is the latest treatment for erectile dysfunction?

The latest clinically-approved medication for treating erectile dysfunction is Eroxon Stimgel. 

Eroxon is a fast-acting topical gel effective in over 60% of men. Eroxon has a low incidence of side effects for men and their sexual partners.

The low incidence of side effects and Eroxon Stimgel’s availability over the counter is an attractive prospect for men with erectile dysfunction. 

After the gel has been applied to the head of the penis it works in 10 minutes.

Although Eroxon is a non-prescription treatment, it is always recommended to discuss managing your erectile dysfunction symptoms with your GP or healthcare provider to ensure that you have no underlying health issues.

Erectile dysfunction gel vs tablets

If you’re deciding between erectile dysfunction gel treatment and oral ED medication, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. What works well for one man may not work for another and it can require some trial and error to find the right option for you.

Erectile dysfunction gel

Erectile dysfunction gel such as Eroxon Stimgel is a topical treatment that is available over the counter without a prescription. 

ED gel is applied directly to the end of the penis to stimulate nerve endings through direct upper blood absorption.

This can be a great option for men who can’t take ED tablets as it widens blood vessels directly at the source.

Common benefits of erectile dysfunction gel include:

• Fast-acting (within 10 minutes)

• Low incidence of side effects

The disadvantages of erectile dysfunction gel:

• Effects don’t last as long (1-2 hours)

• Works for a lower percentage of men (60%)

Erectile dysfunction tablets

Erectile dysfunction tablets such as Viagra and Cialis require a GP prescription as they are both PDE5 inhibitors which dilate your blood vessels internally and can be dangerous for men with certain health conditions such as diabetes or angina.

The benefits of oral medication:

• Longer lasting effects (4 hours to 36 hours)

• Highly effective (70% to 90%)

The disadvantages of oral medication:

• Not suitable for men with certain health conditions

• It takes longer to work (30 to 60 minutes)

How to know if you need ED treatment?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects men in many different ways and can be caused by multiple factors, such as stress, anxiety, medication, and certain health conditions. 

It can be difficult for men to recognise ED straight away, as it can happen to men at any age and at any time, even if they have never previously experienced ED .

Symptoms that indicate that you may have ED include:

• Frequently being unable to get an erection during sexual activity

• Frequently being unable to maintain an erection during sexual intercourse

• Complete inability to get or maintain an erection

You may need treatment for ED if you are suffering from any of these symptoms and it’s having a negative impact on your sexual life. Your GP will be able to discuss your ED symptoms with you to find the correct diagnosis. Once diagnosed with ED, it’s easier for you to decide the best treatment option for you.
