Could herpes lead to ED? The only link between erectile dysfunction and genital herpes would be psychogenic.  Patients with herpetic infections may have anxiety about the disease, or other subconscious thoughts that could lead to psychogenic erectile dysfunction. The fear of transmitting this to a partner could lead to such dysfunction.  If you must... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/8881/herpes http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/8633/work-ed Mon, 16 Apr 2007 21:30:00 -0000 Jay Motola My doctor has told me that because I have erections during my sleep and when I wake up, there is no physical cause for my erectile dysfunction. How effective is Viagra in a situation where the factors may be more psychological? When there is no physical cause for ED, the cause is often psychogenic dysfunction.  In that case, Viagra is an extremely effective therapy. Similar success would also occur with Levitra or Cialis.  Many... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/8633/work-ed http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/8408/person Mon, 09 Apr 2007 21:12:00 -0000 Jay Motola The real question here is why someone without ED would wantto take the drug to begin with. I am not sure if what you are really trying toask is if patients without organic erectile dysfunction were to take the drugthan what the effect would be. Thereactually is a group of patients who take a similar drug for a disease processother than ED, namely pulmonary hypertension without untoward side effects. In patients without ED, there really shouldnot... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/8408/person http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/7944/penile Mon, 26 Mar 2007 21:17:01 -0000 Jay Motola Commonly used inflatable prostheses include the Titan inflatable implants (Colopast) or the AMS 700 series 3-piece inflatable implant.    Inflatable prosthesis makes a lot of sense for many patients. Once implanted, unlike malleable prostheses, the penis has a normal appearing flaccidity.  This makes sense to many patients especially since the flaccid (non-erect state) accounts for more than 98% of the time.

Many patients who opt for this form of therapy do so as it may suit their lifestyle or they desire to not use medical therapy long term.   Prosthetic surgery does offer an excellent permanent long-term solution... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/7552/ed http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/7393/surgical Fri, 09 Mar 2007 19:29:00 -0000 Jay Motola The surgical implantation of a prosthetic device may appear to some as a very extreme measure to treat erectile dysfunction.  However patients who opt for this form of therapy usually have attempted multiple alternative therapies including oral drugs, intracavernosal injection therapy and possibly vacuum erection device prior to deciding upon the implantation of a penile prosthesis.   Most patients have established a good long... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/7393/surgical http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/6856/ed Tue, 20 Feb 2007 14:59:00 -0000 Jay Motola Hi, I’m a 19 year old and can’t get an erection during sex; it’s been a problem for the past year. I smoke both cigarettes and marijuana, cigarettes for roughly 6 years and marijuana 4. Because I can’t get erect, sexual relationships are brief and so I often have to resort to masturbation. I was wondering if perhaps too much masturbation could be a cause (I do it about 3-4 times a week, sometimes more) and if its anxiety, how to relax... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/6856/ed http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/6857/night Tue, 20 Feb 2007 14:52:37 -0000 Jay Motola In the context of testing for erections during the night, you stated that this is a normal male function. I can’t seem to find anyone who will tell me what causes erections during the night. I know they are not sexually stimulated, and remember that this has been a phenomenon of being male since long before sex was in the picture for me. Can you help me understand what is happening at night to cause an erection? Overnight erections occur... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/6857/night http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/3056/penile Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:02:23 -0000 Jay Motola If you believe everything that you read and if all the TV commercials tell the truth, then everyone who suffers from erectile dysfunction is able to obtain an erection, and some of them may last for longer than 4 hours! However, as we all know this is not the truth.Few people actually develop priapism from utilizing these medications. Despite these drugs being very effective, not everyone will respond to them, and there are some patients who... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/3056/penile http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/2992/cost-ed Fri, 05 Jan 2007 13:55:06 -0000 Jay Motola I started having ED symptoms over five years ago. I progressed through the medications; initially they worked, then they didn’t. Now I am on injections and they work, but imagine having to do that every time and it costs $35 every time you use it. What else is there? And after I have had intercourse and finished, the erection can last for up to one hour and there is pain and a burning sensation. I have to take three Tylenol’s.It is true... http://www.healthcentral.com/erectile-dysfunction/c/74/2992/cost-ed
