Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Kuwait
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the repeated difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex. It is common, especially with age, and in most cases it can be treated. At Kuwaiti German Urology in Hawalli, Kuwait, our urology and andrology specialists find the cause and offer treatment options including medication, focused shockwave therapy and PRP (P-SHOT), in private and confidential consultations.
What causes erectile dysfunction?
- Reduced blood flow to the penis, often linked to diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking
- Hormonal problems such as low testosterone
- Nerve problems, or the effects of some pelvic surgery
- Some medications
- Stress, anxiety and psychological factors
- Penile curvature (Peyronie’s disease)
ED can be an early warning sign of heart and blood vessel disease, so it is worth getting checked rather than ignoring it.
How is ED diagnosed?
Assessment starts with your medical history and a physical examination, followed by blood tests such as blood sugar, cholesterol and testosterone. The doctor may request a penile Doppler ultrasound when needed. Many tests are done in-house, often on the same day.
Treatment options
- Lifestyle changes and treating risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure
- Oral medication prescribed by the doctor for your case
- Low-intensity shockwave therapy: a non-invasive clinic treatment that aims to improve blood flow, suitable for some patients after assessment
- Platelet-rich plasma injections (P-SHOT)
- Hormone treatment when low testosterone is confirmed
- Treatment of penile curvature (Peyronie’s disease)
If these treatments do not help, the doctor will discuss the other options available with you.
