Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is customized based on the underlying cause (blood flow, nerve, or hormone issue). Treatment typically starts with simple, non-invasive medical options.
The most common initial treatment involves medications that are taken by mouth. These pills work by relaxing the smooth muscles in the penis, which increases blood flow and helps achieve an erection.
If oral medications are ineffective, the urologist may recommend advanced medical treatments:
Minimally invasive options are typically reserved for patients whose ED is caused by a specific, correctable vascular issue or who cannot tolerate medication.
For carefully selected, often younger men with specific, localized vascular injuries (like those sustained from trauma or certain diseases), a specialist may attempt surgery to repair the blood vessels.
LIV Hospital specializes in treating complex ED cases, including cases that fail standard oral medication. We integrate advanced diagnostics and offer all tiers of treatment, from sophisticated injection therapies to the latest surgical implant techniques, providing a comprehensive solution focused on restoring function and confidence.
For men with severe ED that does not respond to pills, injections, or vacuum devices, surgical intervention with a penile implant is the most effective and permanent treatment option.
A penile implant is a medical device placed entirely inside the body to restore the ability to have an erection. This is considered the final and most reliable treatment option.
The surgery is performed by an Andrologist (a urology subspecialist) and typically requires a 1-night hospital stay. LIV Hospital surgeons utilize techniques focused on minimizing trauma and optimizing functional results, contributing to high patient satisfaction.
Recovery is crucial for the success of any treatment, especially for surgical implants. Rehabilitation programs focus on a safe return to normal activities and maximizing functional results.

Treatment options range from oral medications (like Viagra or Cialis) and non-surgical vacuum devices to self-injection therapies and permanent solutions like penile implant surgery.
Oral medication works immediately. Surgical recovery takes 4 to 6 weeks before the implant can be activated. Long-term management of underlying diseases (like diabetes) is ongoing.
Only if less invasive options (pills, vacuum, injections) fail. Penile implant surgery is typically reserved as the last option but offers the highest rate of patient satisfaction for severe, permanent ED.
Medications include oral PDE5 inhibitors (like Sildenafil or Tadalafil) to increase blood flow, and testosterone replacement for men with low hormone levels.
After surgery, expect pain, swelling, and a period of restriction from sexual activity and heavy lifting (4–6 weeks). The long-term expectation is restoration of reliable erectile function.
