What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Most men consulting the doctors of the Boston Medical Group can achieve an erection, but it is usually not as firm or as lasting as it once was.
Erectile dysfunction is very common. Although it tends to be more common in the over 40-year-old age group, it can affect men of all ages. In mid 1992, the results of the world's largest erectile dysfunction study (the Massachusetts Male Aging Study or MMAS) became available.
Before a treatment option can be offered, your problem must be diagnosed correctly. Hence a thorough medical assessment is undertaken, including the testing of blood flow using a Doppler ultrasound and of nerve conduction using biothesiometry studies.
These pain-free and noninvasive tests enable the doctor to immediately provide an explanation as to the cause of your problem. Patients can begin treatment immediately and usually only one consultation (of about 1 1/2 hours) is required.
In fact, if you were to visit to any one of the Boston Medical Group's clinics today, by tonight you will most likely be able to perform with confidence and success.
Furthermore, as many of the treatments that are recommended by the doctors of the Boston Medical Group actually improve blood-flow, the majority of patients find that after using the medication for the time recommended by the doctor, they no longer need it.
That's right, the majority of our patients are cured.
