For many men, erectile dysfunction (ED) is a deeply distressing issue. Because it's a sensitive problem, some suffer in silence, unable to discuss it with anyone.

This article explains effective treatment methods based on the underlying cause of ED.

It also introduces the medications available at Men's Pride Clinic MITA TOKYO for those struggling with ED.

 

Causes of ED and Effective Treatment Options

To treat ED properly, it's essential to identify the cause and choose an appropriate treatment.

Type of ED	Main Causes	Effective Treatments
Psychogenic ED	Childhood trauma, relationship issues, psychological stress	Counseling, ED drugs or supplements
Organic ED	Age-related testosterone decline, physical illness	Penile regenerative therapy, shock-wave therapy, ED drugs or supplements
Drug-induced ED	Side effects of medications such as antihypertensives or antidepressants	Consult a doctor, change medication
Mixed-type ED	Combination of several factors	Combination approach: ED drugs + psychotherapy + regenerative therapy

In addition to these, excessive alcohol consumption and irregular lifestyle habits can also contribute to ED.

Specific Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction

Below are detailed explanations of proven treatment methods for ED.

counseling

When ED stems from psychological causes such as past trauma or relationship problems, counseling may help.

According to the Japanese Society for Sexual Medicine and the Japanese Urological Association's ED Clinical Guidelines (3rd Edition), psychotherapeutic methods such as psychoanalysis, supportive psychotherapy, and sensate-focus therapy are effective for psychogenic ED. Psychotherapeutic methods such as psychoanalysis, supportive psychotherapy, and sensate-focus therapy are effective for psychogenic ED.

Penile Regenerative Therapies (Exosome or ACRS Injections)

Penile regenerative therapy involves collecting and culturing the patient's own cells or serum, then injecting them into the penis to repair tissue and improve blood flow.

While this approach aims for fundamental recovery, note the following points

• High treatment cost
• Requires a long-term course before results appear
• Still under study, so effectiveness varies among individuals

Shock-Wave Therapy (ED-MAX, Moanova, Renova)

This method applies low-intensity shock waves to the penis to stimulate new blood-vessel growth (angiogenesis) and improve circulation, thereby enhancing erectile function.

Although generally painless and low-risk, consider these cautions

• Not covered by insurance and can be expensive
• Requires multiple sessions over time
• Less effective in older patients
• Limited availability at medical facilities
• Temporary side effects may occur

For Quick or Ongoing Improvement: ED Medications and Supplements

While counseling, regenerative therapy, and shock-wave therapy are effective, they require time and repeated visits.

If you are too busy for regular appointments or feel uncomfortable with in-person treatment, ED medications and supplements can be a practical option.

Using ED Medications

Taking medication before sexual activity can help achieve and maintain an erection.

Common choices include:.

• Viagra
• Levitra
• Cialis

These drugs enhance blood flow by dilating penile blood vessels during sexual arousal and inhibiting specific enzymes that interfere with erection.

Combining them with other treatments tailored to the cause can further improve results.

Taking Supplements That Support ED Treatment

Recently, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) has gained attention as a supplement that supports ED improvement.

Although supplements alone cannot cure ED, DHEA can boost testosterone levels and enhance the effects of medications and other therapies.
