Erectile Dysfunction

Near Edwardsville, IL

At Summit Lifestyle Medicine, we understand the sensitive nature of erectile dysfunction (ED) and the impact it can have on your quality of life. Our dedicated team is here to provide discreet and effective treatments tailored to your individual needs. We offer two primary treatments for erectile dysfunction: Tri-Mix Injections and Viagra.

Tri-Mix Injections


Tri-Mix Injections offer a highly effective solution for erectile dysfunction, especially for individuals who have not experienced success with oral medications such as Viagra. This custom-compounded therapy contains three active ingredients: alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine. Together, these components work synergistically to dilate blood vessels in the penis, enhancing blood flow and facilitating the ability to achieve and sustain an erection.


How it Works?


During a consultation with one of our skilled medical professionals, we will assess your unique needs to determine the appropriate dosage of Tri-Mix. The medication is then injected directly into the side of the penis using a very fine needle, typically leading to an erection within minutes. The effects of Tri-Mix can endure for up to an hour, allowing ample opportunity for sexual activity.

Benefits Of Tri-Mix


  • Rapid onset of action
  • High success rate, even in cases where other treatments have failed
  • Customizable dosage for optimal results
  • Discreet and convenient administration


Is Tri-Mix Right for You?

Tri-Mix Injections may be a suitable option if you have not responded well to oral medications like Viagra, or if you prefer a more direct and immediate treatment for erectile dysfunction. Our medical team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if Tri-Mix is the right choice for you.


Viagra


Viagra, known generically as sildenafil, is a prominent and commonly prescribed medication for addressing erectile dysfunction. It falls under the category of drugs termed phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which enhance blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, facilitating both the attainment and maintenance of an erection.


How it Works


Typically consumed in the form of a small blue pill, Viagra is taken orally about 30 minutes to an hour prior to sexual activity. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow within the penis. By blocking PDE5, Viagra promotes muscle relaxation and dilation of the blood vessels in the penis, resulting in increased blood circulation and improved erectile function.

Benefits Of Viagra


  • Convenient oral administration
  • Effective in the majority of men with erectile dysfunction
  • Rapid onset of action, typically within 30-60 minutes
  • Can be taken as needed, without the need for daily dosing

Is Viagra Right for You?


Viagra may be a suitable option if you prefer a non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction or if you have not yet tried medication for your condition. Our medical team will evaluate your medical history and individual needs to determine if Viagra is the right choice for you.

PRP Injections


Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy represents an innovative treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to promote tissue regeneration and enhance erectile function. Research indicates that PRP injections are effective in addressing various medical issues, including erectile dysfunction.


How it Works



PRP therapy starts with a straightforward blood draw from your arm. The collected blood is subsequently processed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. Platelets are microscopic blood cells abundant in growth factors and vital healing proteins.


After preparing the PRP, it is injected directly into specific areas of the penis. The growth factors and proteins present in the PRP aim to stimulate the formation of new blood vessels and nerve tissue, improve circulation, and boost the overall health of the penile tissue.

Benefits PRP Injections


  • Stimulates tissue regeneration and repair
  • Improves blood flow to the penis
  • Enhances sensitivity and sensation
  • Increases the firmness and duration of erections
  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive
  • Little to no downtime


Is PRP Therapy Right for You?



PRP therapy may be a suitable option if you are experiencing erectile dysfunction due to poor blood flow, nerve damage, or other underlying issues. Our experienced medical team will evaluate your medical history and individual needs to determine if PRP therapy is the right choice for you.
