Causes of Erectile Dysfunction & Treatment Options (Video)

Erectile Dysfunction or ED in short and the treatment options

First, What is Erectile Dysfunction?

It occurs when a man is unable to get or keep an erection that allows for penetration during sexual activity.

Is Erectile Dysfunction common?

It is estimated that 1 in 4 to 1 in 5 men over the age of 40 have the issue
And it becomes more common as we grow older
So What are the Cause of Erectile Dysfunction?
ED is usually multi-factorial meaning that there are many factors that can cause the issue

  1. Age
  2. Chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes
  3. Low testosterone levels (See: Andropause)
  4. Certain medicines or drugs like alcohol
  5. Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, new partner

For the let’s discuss what are some treatment options if you have Erectile Dysfunction.

The most common Erectile Dysfunction Treatment option is Medicine

There are tablets, such as Viagra and Cialis you can take or inject prior to your sexual contact that can help with ED
They work by increasing blood flow to the penis.
Treatment option 2 is by using a Penile vacuum device. It Works by creating a vacuum, which forces the blood into the penis; a ring is then used to prevent the blood from flowing out from the penis thus maintaining an erection
A more invasive option is by surgical penile implants can be inserted by surgeons
Another Erectile Dysfunction treatment option is by undergoing Electroshockwave therapy or ESWT in short
One of the causes of Erectile Dysfunction is the poor flow of blood into the penis caused by unhealthy blood vessels.
By shooting multiple low-intensity shockwaves into the penis, new and healthy blood vessels develop. This is known as neo-vascularization.

It works by delivering painless low-intensity shock waves into the penis. This stimulates the penis to make new blood vessels. More blood vessels mean better blood flow into the penis and better erections.
Each treatment session lasts about 15 minutes and is completely painless. A patient can resume his normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Usually, 6 to 12 treatment sessions are recommended.

If you think you may be suffering from ED, please visit your doctor for further assessment and treatment at our men’s clinics.

Penile Surgery: Penile Anatomy & Aesthetic Problems

/in , , , /by

When we think about men’s health, we recognize the importance of enhancing sexual function and symptom improvement.
Penile anatomy and aesthetic (problems) can affect one’s performance during sexual intimacy, one’s confidence or even one’s partner. These problems may also hinder a couple’s fertility planning.

What are the Conditions & Symtopms?

The symptoms one may experience from penile anatomy or aesthetic problem include painful erections, unable to maintain an erection.
This can also come from problems of a flaccid or soft penis, curved penis or bent penis. Some men may also experience a tight foreskin, inability to retract the foreskin, recurrent foreskin infections (balanitis). Some men may also notice, in the absence of STDs, warts or infections, small bumps on the penis.

Frenulum Breve

Painful Erections can be caused by Frenulum Breve, where the external elastic band of tissue which connects the penis to the foreskin is too short, resulting in the restriction of the foreskin movement. Some people also develop a bent penis during erection as the frenulum pulls down the head.  This condition can also further prevent the full retraction of the foreskin or even tearing of the frenulum causing bleeding and pain during sex or erection.
This problem is treated with a simple painless procedure called a Penile Frenulectomy.

Phimosis

Another cause of a painful erection is Phimosis where the foreskin is too tight and does not allow for a complete retraction to expose the glans penis. This can cause pain during an erection and can cause difficulties during sexual intercourse as well. Furthermore during episodes of pain, one may lose their erection, resulting in an unpleasant sexual experience.

The treatment for Phimosis is Circumcision. There are numerous benefits for Circumcision, such as the prevention of infections, also known as balanitis, and the reduction of sexually transmitted diseases.
Shang Ring is a Circumcision Method that is this painless and quick 15min procedure.

Peyronie’s Disease

Bent or Curved Penis can be caused by a buildup and growth of fibrous plaque tissue in the penis. These scar tissue can also cause pain during an erection. Bent or curved penis is also known as Peyronie’s disease and results in difficult penetration during intercourse.
Peyronie’s disease is treated with Electroshock wave therapy (ESWT) that breaks down these fibrous plaque tissue allowing for a normal straight erection.

Pearly Penile Papules (PPP)

Small bumps around the penis head but without other sexually transmitted disease symptoms can be a cause for concern to men or their partners. The best way to confirm this is through a clinical assessment by our doctors.
If the diagnosis turns out to be benign pearly penile papules (PPP), then there will be no cause for alarm as this is not an STD and does not get transmitted.
However, some men or their partners will be concerned about these spots as they may look “unsightly and unacceptable”. Although this is an “aesthetic” problem, at DTAP clinic, we understand how this can also affect the sex life between a couple or a man’s confidence.
The definitive treatment of PPP is through electrosurgery which is quick painless and takes about half an hour.

Erectile Dysfunction

Ultimately, Penile curvature and size have a huge effect on penis’ aesthetic aspect; that is a major concern for most men. This may in turn affect a man’s confidence, performance and ultimately enjoyment of sex.
Last but not least, if erectile dysfunction is a concern as a result of any of the above conditions, you can also address it with more than just pills, but also with ESWT for Erectile Dysfunction.
Penile Rejuvenation with a painless, quick and convenient treatment that restores the natural erection mechanism in a man.
We believe in a holistic approach in addressing men’s health concerns both from the inside and also externally. No two treatments are the same for each man, and a tailored approach; understanding your concerns and addressing your worries will always be our priority.

Take the first step and give us a call to get started on your treatment journey.
Our Andrology Clinic in Singapore focuss not just on the inside but also on the outside, a complete picture. One important aspect easily overlooked is penile health and the related problems that are found externally on the Penis.

Take care.

Does Penis Size Matter? Sexual Confidence in Man

/in , , /by

TLDR: Size isn’t everything.

3 Broad Areas Affect Sexual Confidence in Man,

  1. Penis Size,
  2. What to Do in Bed,
  3. Having Lasting and Strong Erections.

Penile Implant?!

Addressing penis size requires surgery or implants, both with surgical risks, learning what to do in bed can be done over time however, without guarantees of success. And lastly what most men can readily address – strong lasting erections.

Erection Problems

Many ways to treat and prevent erection problems – lifestyle changes, pills, shockwave therapy. Not many want to depend on pills, shockwave can prevent and also treat erection problems.
Choosing between shockwave treatment options, choosing a superior product for a superior outcome. What separates famous top brands from daily brands is the value of the product – history and heritage, behind the scenes man hours, craftsmanship, superior product.

Read: Are All Electro-Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) Machine the Same?

So which Electro Shockwave Treatment Should I ask for? Comparing between 2 commonly used shockwave treatment machines for Erectile Dysfunction: between ED1000 and machine A (Other electromagnetic ESWT machines) – the verdict is clear that ED1000 comes out TOP across ALL domains compared.
When it comes to your sexual confidence, don’t settle for anything less than the best.

Does Penis Size Matter?

That is the eternal question that partners think about but may not openly discuss it with each other. A quick google search on this question pulls up many surveys, research and questionnaires.

“Too long and it just ‘hits bottom’ and that hurts, a total moodkill. But too thick and it hurts too.”

“I find that men are far more worried about size than I am. I do kegel exercises on a daily basis, so the size feels good to me no matter what. The important thing for my enjoyment is more what they do with their hands and mouth, rather than the penis being the only sexual effort!”

These are some of the interesting opinions found online, but whilst opinions and research findings differ across the spectrum, one thing they do agree on is that size alone does not guarantee a good time for either or both couples.

Reading a little deeper, one can then infer that having the confidence of knowing what to do in bed, and of course, having the libido and erection to go along with it, are both critically important.

To build his confidence, a man could learn new moves and how to pamper his partner with no guarantee of results, but to alter his penile size, short of surgery or implants, is not something one could easily do. That leaves us with the last pillar that we can easily address and treat.
That’s right, treatment and prevention of Erectile Dysfunction.

What Can I Do For My Sexual Confidence?

This then leads me to my next point, with so many “proven” treatments out there, how does one decide which treatment works? How does one decide which treatment to explore?

The latest treatment modality for this is Shockwave therapy. It is one of the limited treatment options that allow for the improvement of natural erections and furthermore potentially restore and rejuvenate the physiological mechanisms of erection.

What is Angiogenesis & Rejuvenation of Penile Smooth Muscle Tissue?

Angiogenesis allows for more blood flow into the penis and subsequently better achieving and sustaining an erection, where rejuvenation of the penile smooth muscle tissue allows for the inflammatory response repair of any previously or potentially damaged venoocclusive mechanism in the penis, allowing blood to be sustained in the penile tissue.
Read: Penile Rejuvenation with ESWT

This non invasive and painless procedure takes 20 mins to complete and has numerous benefits such as treating  Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), Peyronie’s Disease (Bent Curved Penis) and Erectile Dysfunction.

Are All Shock Wave Machines For Erectile Dysfunction The Same?

/in , , /by

Are All Shock Wave Machines the Same?

Not all ESWT treatments are created equal, and not all ESWT treatments will yield the results you expect.

Take for example buying a coat, the quality, craftsmanship of a product from Hermes will far exceed one bought from Giordano. Or buying a car, a Ferrari will outpace a Toyota anytime. Or even buying a timepiece where a Rolex is associated with class, exclusiveness, meticulous engineering, compared to a simpler Casio.

What separates these famous top brands from other brands is its intrinsic and extrinsic value. The history and heritage of the product, behind the scenes man hours, craftsmanship, superior materials, trust of the brand.

ED1000 vs Machine A (electromagnetic ESWT machine)
– Why the Ferrari of Shockwave therapy could be your option for Erectile Dyfunction Treatment

In the same vein, comparing the ED1000 versus Machine A, especially when you want to build your sexual confidence by having strong lasting erections – one will definitely gravitate towards the Hermes, Ferrari, Rolex.

Indulge me as I share both the clinical and technical differences between the Ferrari of shockwave treatment for Erections versus perhaps the Toyota. And of course, if all these technical details bore you, you can skip right to the verdict at the end.

  Large Energy in Large Focal Volume Lower Energy in Lower Focal Volume
RCTS – Clinical Trials (Clinicaltrials.gov) 6 clinical Trials
(2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2013, 2013)		 2 Clinical Trials
(2016 and 2018)
– data not fully published
Number of Patients 399 (29+20+20+200+70+60) 77
(23 + 54)
Medical Evidence as Meta Analysis 5 1

Reviewing the technical details, the ED1000 uses an electrohydraulic method for shockwave generation, which gives a true shockwave at all energy settings. Furthermore, this original accepted standard shockwave technology offers long term reliability.  This in turn gives a large energy output in a large focal volume which results in a superior treatment.

If we look at Machine A (other electromagnetic ESWT machines), the generation of the shockwave is akin to a loudspeaker effect and true shockwave is only generated at high energy settings. This, in turn, leads to a lower energy in smaller focal volume, requiring many more pulses to deposit equivalent energy as compared to the electrohydraulic method of shockwave generation by the ED1000.

Apart from the technical aspects, the ED1000 has been studied across 6 clinical trials since 2010, comprising nearly 400 patients. These data were also further published and medical evidence presented in 5 different meta-analysis: the strongest form of medical data evidence. This in comparison with machine A (other electromagnetic ESWT machine), studied across 2 clinical trials, earliest in 2016 and only involving 77 patients, where the results have not been published. However, this has not stopped machine A (the other electromagnetic ESWT machines) from being included in 1 meta-analysis study.

Clearly, the ED1000 has a long proven track record since 2010, studied across more than 4 times the patients of machine A (the other electromagnetic ESWT machines) and data presented more extensively in 5 different meta analysis studies.

*Figure: In hierarchy for medical evidence, meta analysis comes in at the top of the pyramid as the strongest form of medical evidence

The verdict: ED1000 comes out top across the technical comparison, clinical trials and patient studies comparison. It is the recommended option compared to machine A (other electromagnetic ESWT machines).

So yes, you may not know all the latest bedroom moves, or you may even compare yourself with your mates or the online opinions and have doubts… But one thing you can definitely do for yourself is treat yourself right.

Is Daily Electro Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for me?

We shared in our previous article on Does Penis Size Matters on how having healthy sexual confidence does not depend on size alone nor what to do in the bedroom. Having a strong and lasting erection is equally important as well.
In this article, I will touch more on this 3rd aspect of building one’s sexual confidence with a strong and lasting erection through preventing and or treating erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction is also known as ED is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection needed for sexual intercourse. This problem tends to affect men as they grow older, but increasingly younger patients in their 20s are seeking treatment as well.

Traditional Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

In fact, in this age of the internet, more and more patients have been empowered to do their Google searches and seek answers from qualified medical professionals, leading ultimately to more men seeking help for ED.
However, what is alarming is that 1 in 6 men still suffer in silence when it comes to their sex life affected by ED.
There are no 2 treatments similar for preventing or treating erectile dysfunction as everyone’s health, lifestyle and condition is different.
Traditionally, treatment for ED centred around pills. This had varying effects as eventually some men become non-responsive to these pills over time and require injection treatments on their penis, also known as intracavernosal injections.

What is Electro Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

However, the emergence of Electro Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for ED has become the treatment modality for patients with ED. It offers an improvement to natural erections and restores the physiological mechanism that controls the erection process. To highlight some of the potential advantages of this treatment:

  • Painless
  • Non invasive
  • 20 mins
  • Significant clinical benefit
  • Safe without complications that may arise from a surgery
  • Natural, moving away from a dependence on pills

The doctor applies a probe which generates the shockwave onto different parts of the groin and penis to deliver the treatment.

How Does Electro Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) work?

The ESWT machine creates a shockwave through electrohydraulic means. Here on why ED1000 is the Ferrari of ESWT compared to other electromagnetic ESWT machines.
This shockwave then passes into the penile tissue resulting in
a) Angiogenesis – the creation of new blood vessels and
b) Rejuvenation of the penile smooth muscle tissue.
Read: ESWT for Penile Rejuvenation 

What is Angiogenesis & Rejuvenation of Penile Smooth Muscle Tissue?

Angiogenesis allows for more blood flow into the penis and subsequently better achieving and sustaining an erection, where rejuvenation of the penile smooth muscle tissue allows for the inflammatory response repair of any previously or potentially damaged venoocclusive mechanism in the penis, allowing blood to be sustained in the penile tissue.

Read: ESWT Treatemnt is also used for

How Many Treatment Session is Needed?

More and more clinical and scientific studies are being carried out on the benefits of ESWT for the treatment of ED.  In fact, a new study carried out for a daily regime of ESWT for 5 days and ESWT every other day for 6 days showed good clinical improvements experienced by patients. It is therefore ideal for men who want a quick lunchtime treatment for ED, or expatriates, travellers who want to get Erectile Dysfunction (ED) treatment in Singapore.

Is Electro Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) Suitable for Me?

ESWT has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for ED. In fact patients who have had a kidney transplant or prostate surgery have received treatment for their ED with ESWT and shown to have good effect.
However, men who have ED and not respond to intracavernosal may not be the best candidates for ESWT as the improvements experienced are more subdued.
Through ongoing and previous research and the patients we have seen, the expected benefits of ESWT are an improvement of one’s erection and the rejuvenation of one’s penis. Furthemore, men who were on pills previously for ED started to regain their natural erections and did not need to depend on pills as well. Also we see men who did not respond to pills or injection therapy, start to become responsive to these treatments after ESWT. Overall, ESWT also improves the outcome of any concurrent or previous ED therapy.

How long does ESWT for ED last?

Currently the biological and molecular effects of ESWT on ED are shown to have a permanent effect at the basic science level. In patients however, there are a multitude of factors which contribute to the success of ED treatment – including lifestyle, dietary, aging and other concurrent health problems. For some patients, treatment success can be diminished and reversed over time if these lifestyle, dietary, concurrent health problems are not addressed. Current clinical studies where the longest period of follow up is 1 year after ESWT treatment, do show that treatment improvements are sustained after 1 year as well.

Conclusion

ESWT with the Ferrari of ESWT treatment is safe and effective.
As men get busier with their lifestyles or increasingly travel abroad for work, ESWT becomes a quick “lunch time” treatment for ED.
Furthermore, with the recent opening of Changi Jewel at the Singapore Airport and further expansion plans of the aviation sector, Singapore continues to grow as a travel hub. For the many travellers coming to Singapore, Erectile Dysfunction (ED) treatment in Singapore and Erectile Dysfunction treatment for travellers or tourists in Singapore become a viable option, especially with the daily ESWT regime for a week or every other day ESWT regime for 2 weeks.
If you are experiencing any symptoms, or have any concerns or questions about ESWT for Erectile Dysfunction, please call or visit any of our DTAP Clinics or drop us an email at hello@dtapclinic.com.sg for an appointment.

Vague groin symptoms?

Do you have non-specific or vague groin symptoms like the following?

  • Difficulty starting or stopping urine
  • Frequent urination especially at night
  • Frequency of wetness in the urethra
  • Incomplete emptying of your bladder
  • Cloudy urine
  • Blood in urine or Blood in semen

  • Painful ejaculation
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Premature ejaculation

Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

If you have any of the above symptoms but your tests results don’t show any infection, you might have Chronic Prostatitis or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS). This is due to inflammation of the prostate or inflammation in the organs and tissues in the pelvic region. Read: Prostatitis Treatment

Causes Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome:

This condition may be triggered by sexual intercourse, periods of stress or even changes in weather or different types of food.
This is commonly under-diagnosed by many physicians. Most patients end up frustrated as they are told by their doctors that there is nothing wrong with them or there is no treatment suitable for their condition. Some have to suffer for many years before getting adequately treated.

How to Treat Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome:

Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome can be a challenging condition to treat and manage.
Conventionally, it is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs like NSAIDS and patients had to end up taking it for a long time.
Recently, a relatively form of treatment has shown great improvements in men with CPPS. This treatment is by using low-intensity shockwave. The treatment is called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).
Chronic-Pelvic-Pain-Syndrome-Treatment
This therapy has shown tremendous improvements in symptoms in men suffering from CPPS. Men have reported improvements from as early as from a single session. Typically one will require 4 sessions of ESWT for maximal benefit.
ESWT for CPPS/Prostatitis is available at our dedicated DTAP Clinic.

Do speak to any of our doctors to find out if ESWT is suitable for you. You can drop us an email at hello@dtapclinic.com.sg, or walk-in or call our clinics for an appointment.

Weak Erection & Erectile Dysfunction? – Improve Erection without pills

/in , , /by

One of the main reasons why men have weaker erections is due to poor blood flow into the penis. Blood flow may diminish due to chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Other contributing factors include smoking, stress or the effects of ageing. With poorer blood flow, the erections becoming weaker and may not be able to sustain as long as before.

Typically, men will be popping pills or medications that help to increase blood flow to the penis like Sildenafil or Tadalafil. However, these medications do have their side effects and it can be a bit troublesome to have to rely on them for results.
With Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), it gives men hope for better erections without having to rely on pills.

How Does Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) work?

ESWT involves the use of painless, low-energy shockwaves to improve tissue and blood vessels in the body.
The handheld device is applied to the penile muscles and gentle shockwaves are sent to the treatment area.
Delivery of these shockwaves causes new blood vessels to form and thus improving blood flow and circulation to the penis. This, in turn, will improve erection in terms of strength, hardness, and also sustainability.
For men who do not have erectile issues, they may benefit from a single session as well. This is called Penile Rejuvenation.

FAQs:

Is it safe?

Yes ESWT is safe, painless, no downtime and no recovery needed.

How many sessions do I need?

If you have erectile dysfunction, you will need 6 sessions. If you just need a booster or enhancement, you only need a single session.

How much does each session cost?

Each session costs $400.

Are there any criteria for this treatment to be effective?

There are no specific requirements for this treatment. As long as you want a better and stronger erection, you will benefit from ESWT.
Do speak to your doctor to find out if ESWT is suitable for you.

ESWT is available at our dedicated DTAP Men’s Health clinics, please call us or email us at hello@dtapclinic.com.sg for an appointment.
