The ED Treatment Choice Map

The ED Treatment Choice Map. ED therapies differ in spontaneity, reliability, invasiveness, partner involvement, cost, and reversibility. Labels: How it works; Planning required; Typical reliability range—variable; Main burdens; When it becomes attractive; Lifestyle/risk-factor care; Oral medication; Vacuum erection device; Intraurethral therapy; Injection therapy; Penile implant; Adjuncts, not substitutes; Psychosexual counseling; Partner communication; Shockwave—evidence and protocols evolving; PRP/stem cell—experimental/investigational. The gauges are schematic comparisons, not measured success rates or a promise of reliability for an individual patient.
