Potency Problems (Erectile Dysfunction),
together with loss of sex-drive (libido), are common and distressing
features of Andropause, which, if prolonged, can cause the break-up
of relationships.
Research at the Men's Health Centre
has shown that in around two thirds of cases, by treating the underlying
andropause condition, testosterone can restore both libido and potency.
In the remaining third, our studies on over 500 patients have shown
that combining testosterone with Viagra (Sildenafil) brings the
success rate with erection problems to over 95%.
The newer oral treatments such as
Cialis (Tadalafil) and Levitra (Vardenafil) have also been introduced
and appear to have less side effects than Viagra. Cialis appears
to be particularly effective, and often has an effect which can
improve erectile function for 2 - 3 days, and fully restore natural
sexual activity.
