Erectile Dysfunction (Impotence) is a common condition affecting men worldwide, including in Thailand. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get or keep an erection that is good enough for satisfying sexual performance.
Erectile dysfunction (ED), or impotence, is more likely to happen in Thailand if you are older, overweight, have high blood pressure or diabetes, smoke, or drink alcohol. In addition, psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression can also contribute to ED.
In Thailand, several treatment options are available for erectile dysfunction, including oral medications, injections, acupuncture, and shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (Shockwave therapy is only available in our Silom, Bangkok, and Tanjong Pagar, Singapore branches). But many men in Thailand may not get help for ED because of cultural barriers, stigma, or because they don't know enough about the condition and the available treatments.
There have been efforts to raise awareness about ED and encourage early detection and erectile dysfunction treatment to solve this medical problem. This includes education campaigns, making it easier to get medical care, and making medicines cheaper and work better. (Learn more about where getting erectile dysfunction pills)
Even though ED is a significant health problem in Thailand, steps are being taken to make it easier to diagnose, treat, and help men who have it.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. It’s sometimes referred to as impotence, although this term is now used less often.
Occasional ED isn’t uncommon. Many men experience it during times of stress. Frequent ED, however, can be a sign of health problems that need treatment. It may also be a sign of emotional or interpersonal issues that require professional attention.
You may have ED if you regularly have:
Other sexual disorders related to ED include:
Speak with your doctor if you have any of these symptoms, especially if they’ve lasted for 3 or more months. They can help determine whether your symptoms are caused by an underlying condition that requires treatment.
A family doctor is a good place to start when you have erectile problems. See your doctor if:
ED can occur because of problems at any stage of the erection process. An erection is the result of increased blood flow into your penis. Either sexual thoughts or direct contact with your penis usually stimulates blood flow.
When a man is sexually excited, muscles in the penis relax. This allows for increased blood flow through the penile arteries, filling two chambers inside the penis. As the chambers fill with blood, the penis grows rigid.
An erection ends when the muscles contract and the accumulated blood can flow out through the penile veins.
In many cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something physical. Common causes include:
The brain plays a key role in triggering the series of physical events that cause an erection, starting with feelings of sexual excitement. Several things can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. These include:

As you get older, erections might take longer to develop and might not be as firm. You might need more direct touch to your penis to get and keep an erection.
Various risk factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction, including:
Complications resulting from erectile dysfunction can include:
ED can be caused by only one of these factors or by several of them. That’s why it’s important to work with your doctor so that they can rule out or treat any underlying medical conditions.
Testing for ED can involve a variety of steps, including a physical examination and taking your health and sexual history. Additional tests may be performed to determine if your symptoms are caused by an underlying condition.
You should expect a physical exam where your doctor will listen to your heart and lungs, check your blood pressure, and examine your testicles and penis. They may also recommend a rectal exam to check your prostate.
Your doctor will ask you questions or request that you fill out a questionnaire about your symptoms, health history, and sexual history. The responses can help them evaluate the severity of your ED.
Some questions that you may be asked include:
Your doctor may perform additional testing to help diagnose your ED. Tests can include:
These tests can help your doctor guide your treatment as well as determine if an underlying condition may be causing your ED. Find out more about how blood tests can be used to diagnose ED.
Treatment for ED will depend on the underlying cause. You may need to use a combination of treatments, including medication or talk therapy.
Low-intensity shock waves that have a strong impact on the penis, which have been categorized as alternative technology, have been made to improve the penis hardness. The discovery helps improve blood circulation within the blood vessels in the penis to improve erection.
Using low-intensity shock waves with external shocks on the penis, when these waves reach the blood vessels in the penis, would work to stimulate the performance of the erection, help the vitality of the erection, maintain the size of the penis, and actually make it more effective.
In some cases, in patients with erectile dysfunction and non-response to medication, shock waves can help. It helps improve and enhance sexual performance. Patients do not experience any pain or side effects during or after treatment. The treatment of shock waves has been very effective as a non-surgical innovation to find a solution and reduce ED. (Low-intensity shock waves for ED are available in PULSE CLINIC Bangkok and Singapore branches too)
Your doctor may prescribe medication to help you manage the symptoms of ED. You may need to try several medications before you find one that works.
Medications used for other conditions may cause ED. Talk to your doctor about your medications and whether they could be causing your symptoms. There may be others that you can take instead. Never stop taking medications without first talking to your doctor.
Medications for ED can cause side effects. If you’re experiencing unpleasant side effects, talk to your doctor. They may be able to recommend a different medication.
