Columbia, V7V 1E1, Canada.
Purpose: To clinically investigate the response to Cialis,
Levitra and Viagra in men and couples, and to correlate
this with testosterone levels.
Introduction: In our Men's Health Clinic, erectile dysfunction
(ED) is a very important symptom. Overall prevalence
occurs in men 30 years to 80 + years with the aging
incidence rising from 5% to 50%. A disconnect exists
between Physicians and patients because less than
20% of men seek treatment.
Model & Methods: An extensive questionnaire details the history
of E.D - smoking, diabetes, medications used etc.
There is a medical/surgical checklist. We ask how
often E.D. drugs are used and do patients wish to
continue with their treatment and with which E.D.
drug. Satisfaction of treatment procedure is questioned
as is rating of the naturalness of erections both
with and without medication. We also question how
we can better serve and improve our Male Gender medical
knowledge and care. We studied 2 groups: (1) individual
males and (2) couples (males & partners). We used
the same basic questionnaire for both groups.
Results: All patients were most interested and impressed that
we could be so open and forthright about their very
personal sexual issues. Women proved to have great
insight and as much interest as their partners. With
the exception of prostaglandin injections, almost
all previous E.D therapies have fallen by the wayside.
Conclusion: All 3 new E.D medications are very effective,
well tolerated and much appreciated by their sexual
partners when combined with testosterone. Seven years
of safety studies on E.D.medications show no increase
in mortality and low side effects. The E.D studies
were 80% organic. Andropausal therapy and testosterone
levels co-relate to the levels of success of E.D medications.
All the E.D medications are very effective. Men usually
will chose one, which will become an important part
of their sex lives long term.
