ED Clinic in Toronto Offers Innovative Erectile Dysfunction Treatments
Toronto Clinic Deals with ED Issues
Let’s start with the good news: there is now an excellent ED Clinic in Toronto. The bad news is that if you know what those two letters stand for – Erectile Dysfunction – you may be suffering from it yourself. You should be aware that it is a problem that most men encounter in their lifetime.
There are several risk factors that cause ED. Aging is the key contributor. After a man reaches his 30s his testosterone levels begin declining at a rate of 1% a year. Compounding that are vascular problems. Over time, high cholesterol and arterial plaque buildup causes blood vessels to narrow, lessening the capability of your circulatory system – and as a result pumping less blood to your penis. The chance of suffering heart disease or diabetes – two ED risk factors – also increases with age.
And then there are the lifestyle choices and health conditions that we so often choose, including smoking, obesity, and bad diet and blood sugar control. A sedentary lifestyle often accompanies those choices, and will increase the likelihood of ED, as will chronic alcohol and/or substance abuse.
Other common causes of ED include medications such as antidepressants and blood pressure medications. Pelvic surgery can be a factor if there are complications from prostate cancer surgery. (The nerves that control an erection are close to the prostate gland.) Neurological disorders can cause ED, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Finally, there are factors that are more psychological in origin, but these are much less common than physiological factors.
Innovative Developments in ED Treatment
There are many treatment options for ED, including counselling, pharmaceuticals, and implants. But a new method of curing ED is getting a lot of attention, for its effectiveness, ease, and safety.
Erectile Dysfunction Shock Wave Therapy (EDSWT) sounds scary but, in practice, is simple, quick and completely painless. A wand is moved over the base and shaft of the penis, focusing on the two arteries inside the penis. These two arteries are the ones that fill with blood and hold the penis erect until ejaculation.
The pulses trigger increased blood flow, by stimulating the repair of red blood vessels, stimulating the growth of new blood vessels, and stimulating removal of micro-plaque.
The procedure lasts about a half hour and it’s painless, although there may be a tingling sensation. And, in fact ‘shock wave’ is something of a misdescription – the wand is emitting soundwaves and is basically the same treatment that is used for sports injuries.
There is no down time or recovery time after the procedure. The patient is free to drive home. No prescriptions are required. Results after the initial treatment should work within weeks and last longer than a year. Sex during the EDSWT process is encouraged as a way to gauge the effectiveness of the treatment.
Consult a Professional!
ED can be (and often is) temporary but because it also may suggest an underlying and serious health concern, it is definitely worth consulting a health professional.

He will conduct a comprehensive exam and outline the best available treatment option for you at his ED clinic in Toronto.
