Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is a common issue that can impact confidence, relationships, and overall wellbeing. While occasional difficulty is normal, ongoing problems getting or maintaining an erection may signal a deeper health concern—and deserve attention and support.

What is erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction, also commonly known as impotence, is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.

Struggling to get an erection from time to time isn’t necessarily a cause for concern, however, if your erectile dysfunction is persistent and ongoing it’s often a major cause of stress affecting both your self-confidence and the relationship with your significant other.

Problems getting or keeping an erection can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.

Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:

Trouble getting an erection
Trouble keeping an erection
Reduced sexual desire

Underlying cause of erectile dysfunction

Although symptoms of impotence can begin to show at any point throughout a man’s life, in most cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something physical arising in later life as our lifestyle choices and general health begins to catch up with us.

Common causes include:

Medical conditions, particularly diabetes or heart conditions
Tobacco use, which restricts blood flow to veins and arteries, can – over time – cause chronic health conditions that lead to erectile dysfunction
Being overweight, especially if you’re obese
Certain medical treatments, such as prostate surgery or radiation treatment for cancer
Injuries, particularly if they damage the nerves or arteries that control erections
Medications, including antidepressants, antihistamines and medications to treat high blood pressure, pain or prostate conditions
Psychological conditions, such as stress, anxiety or depression
Drug and alcohol use, especially if you’re a long-term or heavy drinker

Erectile Dysfunction can also be a result of an underlying condition such as a weak pelvic floor or nerve damage. If you’ve had a prostatectomy (a surgical procedure for the partial or complete removal of the prostate), you may begin to experience erectile dysfunction due to trauma to the muscles and nerves around the prostate and pelvic floor.

These muscles and nerves can be injured or weakened in several ways including:

Surgery to remove cancer in the anus or rectum
Remove haemorrhoids
Treat anal abscesses and fistulas
Hypertrophy of the pelvic muscles
A long-term habit of straining to pass stool
Brain injury
Spinal cord injury

By targeting the pelvic floor muscles with High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, BTL Esmella stimulates the muscles, tightens the pelvic floor and allows you to regain control to achieve and maintain an erection.

During the BTL Emsella treatment, electromagnetic currents directly stimulate the pelvic floor muscles beyond the level that can be consciously achieved through Kegel or other pelvic floor exercises, drastically cutting down the time between your first visit to a GP and recommendation for medical treatment if necessary.

This achieves far stronger contractions, giving your pelvic floor muscles a far better workout; the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegel exercises in one treatment.

BTL Emsella treatment also changes the structure of the muscles by stimulating the growth of new protein strands and muscle fibres to improve the physical action of the muscles overall!

Here’s why you should choose BTL Emsella;

FDA approved
Non-surgical
Non-intrusive
No recovery or downtime
Can be carried out without you having to get undressed
