We help you get your self-esteem back up
Many men feel that a solid long lasting erection is associated with masculinity and virility. This is in fact, a far cry from the truth. In Singapore, it is estimated that about 50% of men over 30 years old suffer from ED.
The good news? Erectile dysfunction is treatable, and we’re here to help.
Erectile dysfunction has multiple underlying causes.
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. While occasional difficulties are normal, persistent ED may indicate underlying health concerns such as:
- Psycho-social stresses and its impact on interpersonal relationships
- Nerve and blood vessel damage
- Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Leakage of blood flow from the penis
- Hormonal issues
- Too little Testosterone and too much Estrogen
- Prostate enlargement
- Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction

There are occasions when you might find that oral tablets like viagra appear to be ineffective. Simple painless injections with a very short needle made to the side of the penis shaft delivers a drug Alprostadil straight into the penis spongy tissue causing an immediate erection. This injection is self administered performed by you just before sexual intercourse.
(VED)
VED is a safe, effective, and drug-free option for managing Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Designed to help achieve and maintain an erection, VEDs are particularly beneficial for men who prefer a non-invasive treatment method or cannot use medications.
Testosterone replacement therapies work by increasing levels of available testosterone in your body, such as injections and gels. Some injections like Depo-Testosterone can be self administered at home on a weekly basis.
Others are given deep into the muscle in a doctor’s clinic once every 3 months. Gels have to be applied daily.

FAQ
How common is erectile dysfunction?

In the same study, they found that roughly 50% of men at 50 years old, 60% of men at 60 years old and 70% of men at 70 years old have erectile dysfunction.
Is erectile dysfunction solely caused by ageing?
No! Besides advancing age, there are many factors that may also contribute to the condition.
How do such drugs work?
These drugs are formally known as PDE-5 inhibitors.
