Which ED Treatment is the BIGEST Failure?

12/3/2021

Below I've listed what I've boiled down from all the research on the different ED treatments. See if you can guess which ED treatment is the BIGEST failure, and by that I mean the most expensive, and highest rate of failure.

PDE5 Inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra): Do nothing to fix the underlying cause or erectile dysfunction, have horrendous side effects in 50% of men who take them including headache, nausea, diarrhea and dizziness, and eventually stop working. They also will cost upwards of $6,000 (generic version) after just a few years.

Penile Injections (self administered before intercourse) Many men stop doing it because it can be terrifying and painful to inject drugs into the penis. It takes a steady hand and there is the risk of causing an erection that doesn’t go away for several hours which can cause permanent damage and warrants a visit to the ER. Most patients need 6-10 injections on their first visit, at a cost of around $5,000.

The P-shot (priapus shot): Platelet rich plasma is injected into the penis by a doctor, thought to help regenerate health penile tissues and blood flow, but there are no studies to show that it actually works. One shot will cost $1,500 or more and the effects are temporary, so after trying to be ready for intimacy (with or without success) you’re looking at $36,000 of just “trying twice a month for a year!

Intraurethral Suppositories: Insert a pill into the urethra at the end of the penis, but it is painful to administer and can cause a burning sensation. Studies only show a 33% satisfaction rate. After a few years, you've wasted around $14,400. 

Penile Implant Surgery: An end of the line option, very invasive and expensive ($19,000), but if it doesn't work, the damage is permanent.

​Sorry if this list is grim, I hate beating around the bush with this stuff. It's important to know what's at stake. Most of these treatments are not long-lasting, except the surgery which can be a failure, in which case it is long-lasting with zero function.

For a treatment with the highest success rate of any ED treatment on the market that actually reverses the root cause of the problem, acoustic wave therapy at a 91% success rate. At only $2,500 (we have payment plans at 0% interest), it is long-lasting, and non-invasive.
