Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be a frustrating condition, affecting not only your physical health but also your relationships. Maybe you’ve tried traditional treatments like Viagra or Cialis, but they haven't delivered the results you were hoping for, or perhaps the side effects were too much to handle. You’re not alone — millions of men in the U.S. face similar issues every year, and many are searching for effective solutions to regain control of their sexual health.

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we understand the importance of addressing these issues comprehensively and with the most up-to-date methods available. We are committed to staying at the forefront of medical innovation, providing our patients access to the latest, cutting-edge treatments for erectile dysfunction. In this article, we’ll explore the latest research developments and our advanced treatment options to help you improve your performance in 2024 and beyond.

Cutting-edge ED treatments being researched

Researchers are constantly seeking new and better ways to treat ED, exploring therapies that range from topical gels to advanced genetic interventions. Some of these treatments are still in the research phase, but they show great promise for the future of ED care.

Melanocortin activators
One of the most exciting areas of research involves melanocortin receptor agonists. These work differently from traditional ED medications by targeting dopamine receptors throughout the body, which can enhance sexual performance. Melanocortin activators may improve erections by stimulating the nervous system, which in turn affects blood flow and sexual arousal. They are still in the experimental phase, and further studies are needed to determine their safety and effectiveness for widespread use.

Gene therapy
Gene therapy involves injecting genetic material directly into the penile tissue, aiming to improve erectile function by repairing or modifying cells at a genetic level. In a small-scale study, 11 participants experienced positive results after a single dose of DNA, showing improved erectile function without major side effects. While these initial findings are encouraging, it’s important to note that gene therapy is still in its infancy. Extensive clinical trials will be required before this treatment becomes viable for the general public.

Eroxon Stimgel
Eroxon Stimgel is one of the latest advancements to hit the market, offering a convenient over-the-counter solution for ED. Approved by the FDA in June 2023, this topical gel is applied directly to the head of the penis, providing a cooling sensation followed by a warming effect that stimulates the nerve endings. The gel increases blood flow by releasing nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels. Clinical trials have shown that around 63% of men who used Eroxon achieved an erection, often within just 10 minutes.

Cutting-edge ED treatments offered at GLM

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of innovative treatments for ED. Our comprehensive approach ensures that you have access to therapies that address both the physical and psychological aspects of erectile dysfunction.

P-Shot
The Priapus Shot, or P-Shot, is a regenerative therapy that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate tissue growth and improve blood flow to the penis. This treatment has been shown to enhance sensitivity, increase firmness, and even improve size for some patients. By harnessing the body's natural healing capabilities, the P-Shot offers a non-surgical, drug-free approach to treating ED.

Priapus toxin
Priapus toxin is a newer treatment option that uses botulinum toxin to enhance erectile function. The toxin works by relaxing the muscles around the penile arteries, allowing for increased blood flow. This can result in stronger, longer-lasting erections, with the results lasting several months. As with all treatments, our experts will carefully evaluate your condition to determine if Priapus toxin is the right choice for you.

TriMix
TriMix is a powerful injectable medication that combines three drugs: alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine. This combination works synergistically to relax the blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penis, providing immediate relief from ED symptoms. TriMix can be particularly effective for men who do not respond to oral medications, offering a reliable and customizable solution for achieving and maintaining erections.

TRT
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can be vital for men whose ED is linked to low testosterone levels. By restoring your body’s natural testosterone balance, TRT can help improve libido, energy levels, and overall sexual performance. Our specialists at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine will perform a thorough assessment to determine if TRT is appropriate for your specific situation and then help you reclaim optimal hormone balance.

Shockwave therapy
Extracorporeal low-intensity shockwave therapy (LIST) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood vessel growth and improve blood flow within the penis. This therapy has been found to promote vascularization, which can lead to more sustainable erections. Shockwave therapy is ideal for men who prefer a non-surgical, drug-free approach to managing ED, and it addresses the root cause of ED.

Lifestyle changes
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we believe that addressing lifestyle factors is an essential part of any successful ED treatment plan. Factors such as obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle can all contribute to erectile dysfunction. Our team will guide you through making positive changes, including maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and reducing stress to improve your overall health and sexual performance.
