Erectile dysfunction (ED), or “mati pucuk”, affects a man’s ability to achieve or maintain an erection. Common in Malaysian men, especially over 50, it’s driven by stress, heart conditions, diabetes, and lifestyle factors. The incidence of ED is projected to increase by 2025.
ED can stem from a variety of factors including blood vessel problems, metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, hormonal issues such as low testosterone levels, psychological factors including stress and relationship problems, and lifestyle choices like lack of physical activity and poor diet.
He Medical Clinic offers a personalised approach to ED treatment, including cutting-edge extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) to improve blood flow, an EM-Kegel exercise program for better pelvic control, lifestyle advice on diet and physical activity, and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors which are drugs that enhance penile blood flow by opening up blood vessels.
He Medical Clinic prioritises comfort and privacy, with a professional team experienced in dealing with ED. They offer tailored treatment plans in a warm and welcoming environment, ensuring that every patient receives personalised care suited to their specific needs.
PDE5 inhibitors are a class of drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ED. These medications work by enhancing blood flow to the penis, but they require sexual stimulation to be effective. The aim is to achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity.
