Vascular reconstructive surgery is one of the methods to improve blood flow to the penis, helping men overcome erectile dysfunction and retain an erection when having sex with a sexual relationship.

1. What to do with erectile dysfunction?

Most patients with erectile dysfunction before the disease can maintain an erection. Having erectile dysfunction is completely re overcome, however the chances of curing the disease depend mainly on the cause of the disease. Even if the disease cannot be cured, proper treatment can already somewhat reduce or even eliminate symptoms. So, how should patients with erectile dysfunction be cured?

Patients with erectile dysfunction need to go to a medical facility for examination and frankly present symptoms. After diagnosis, patients are usually treated with medication or surgery. However, if it is possible to identify and overcome the cause of the disease, the symptoms of the disorder will go into remission without the use of medication. Depending on the condition of each person, the doctor will prescribe appropriate treatment options among the following 3 methods, including:

  • Short-term treatment

This option helps patients achieve or maintain an erection, but does not solve the root cause of erectile dysfunction. For example, the drug sildenafil (specialty Viagra) increases blood flow to the penis, giving an erection effect in a short time.

  • Solving the causes of the disease

This is the most important treatment, solving the cause of erectile dysfunction. When the arteries are clogged, it leads to limited blood flow to the penis vascular system. Taking pills and exercising regularly improves the situation of cardiovascular health and increases circulation at blood vessels to the penis. This treatment can overcome erectile dysfunction or reduce the frequency of the disease's appearance.

  • Psychological treatment

The reason that the erection is not as desired may be psychological anxiety, stressful mood. Psychological treatments help men reduce anxiety, relieve stress, feel more confident and improve relationships with a sexual relationship.

In addition, psychological stability for patients will support other methods, bringing a higher therapeutic effect.

2. Erectile dysfunction and how to fix it

To overcome erectile dysfunction,patients need to see a doctor to check for potential health problems. This is because the symptoms of the disease can be the first signs of neurological damage associated with diabetes, cardiovascular disease or neurological disorders.

The cause of erectile dysfunction is often believed to be derived from physical problems, however it does not exclude the cause due to psychological effects. Psychological instability makes erections more difficult. Therefore, how to overcome erectile dysfunction will include both physical and psychological methods:

2.1. Lifestyle changes

Lifestyle re-adjustment can improve those conditions associated with erectile dysfunction, such as diabetes mellitus and arterial stenosis.

Men who suffer from diseases or have risk factors for the disease need to change their lifestyle in the following ways:

  • Practice relaxing exercises to manage psychological stress and control blood pressure;
  • Exercise to improve circulation to the penis blood vessels;
  • If the subject is overweight, obese, it is recommended to carry out weight loss, reduce blood fat and improve testosterone levels;
  • Build a scientific diet, especially those with diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

2.2. Pelvic floor muscle exercises

The pelvic floor muscles are "powerful assistants" that support men when urinating and ingacing. Improving the strength of these muscles is also a way to improve erectile function. Pelvic floor muscle exercises, most commonly Kegel exercises, help men with diabetes to maintain and improve erections.

2.3. Thanks to the consultant

Erectile dysfunction often negatively affects men's self-esteem. Many patients, despite knowing they have the disease, quietly endure and do not go to the doctor. It is important for men to acknowledge and frankly present to their doctor their condition in order to find the appropriate, timely treatment direction.

A psychiatrist or psychiatrist can help patients deal with concerns, recognize the dangers and effects of the disease, and encourage patients to conduct treatment early.

2.4. Use of natural herbs

Some herbs can be used as a supporting effect during the treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, patients should not be arbitrary in choosing herbal treatments but should consult professional advice and guidance from a doctor.

2.5. medicine

Some drugs have the effect of improving the circulation of penis blood vessels and helping patients achieve an erection. However, some active ingredients can make the condition worse, such as some medications for hypertension that reduce blood flow to the penis, making erections more difficult. In this case, the patient should be replaced with another drug prescribed by a doctor.

2.6. Mechanical equipment

Some mechanical devices have the ability to support erectile function for patients with neurological disorders, vascular damage or physical health problems.

2.7. Erectile dysfunction surgery

If all of the above methods are ineffective, or when mandatory indications are made, the doctor may recommend the surgical method.

Erectile dysfunction surgery helps patients recover their erections almost immediately with a rate of complications of no more than 5%.

3. Remedy erectile dysfunction with vascular reconstruction surgery

Vascular reconstructive surgery improves blood circulation to the blood vessels of the penis, helping patients with erectile dysfunction to achieve and maintain erection capacity.

When choosing treatments for erectile dysfunction, doctors rarely prescribe surgery because it is often technically difficult, costly and not always completely effective.

3.1. The goal of surgery

The goal of this method is to solve the clogged arteries, which are the cause of erectile dysfunction.

The surgeon will transfer an artery from elsewhere (e.g. in the abdomen) to the penis blood vessel, where it is clogged. This creates a path that helps the blood to continue circulating through the clogged vascular passage to the supply to the penis.

3.2. Subjects who need surgery

Erectile dysfunction surgery is often a suitable option for young patients with diseases caused by penis injuries or surrounding areas.

3.3. Is surgery effective?

The likelihood of success of vascular reconstructive surgery depends on the patient's condition, associated conditions and age. The success rate is usually higher for young men, with only one blood vessel damaged solely by pelvic injury or genital injury.

Patients with erectile dysfunction need to be correctly diagnosed and treated for the right cause. At that time, the success rate of surgery will be higher, while limiting the likelihood of unwanted complications.
