The aforesaid drugs can be used to treat ED. The drugs can be injected or taken as penile suppositories. These drugs work by improving the Nitrous Oxide (NO) efficiency. NO allows for engorgement and erection by dilating the blood vessels within the penis. Oral apomorphine or apomorphine injections are also used to treat this problem. There are also a number of herbal cures to treat the problem of erectile dysfunction. These herbs help in leading to an erection by improving the blood flow to the penis. The most effective herbs that can cure ED are Ginkgo Balboa and Ginseng. The Chinese have used these herbs from time immemorial to improve sexual performance and as general health tonics. Treatments involving surgical methods include penile implants that involve the use of vacuum pumps which can maintain an erection for half an hour. If you suspect a case of ED, it is advisable to visit your doctor immediately as it can also indicate a symptom of some other underlying disease.
