Unlike all other forms of ED that are caused by organic factors, PED (Psychological Erectile Dysfunction) is caused due to psychological reticence to sex in patient’s mind. Therefore, it is very difficult to diagnose and treat.

Although injections, suppositories, and oral medications have proven to be of little help in such cases, complete recovery is possible only when medications are combined with regular sexual therapy. A wide range of PED medications are available in the market.
Following are the most commonly prescribed ones to cure psychogenic male impotence:
Oral Medicines: Vardenafil, Sildanefil, and tadalefil are oral medications that specifically target the penile tissue enzymes called the PDE5s and block them to help men initiate and maintain erection. Although these medicines are usually effective for nearly 4 hours, they have proven to be successful in curing PED in 29 percent patients. However, they should not be administered in combination with any sort of nitrate drug.
Intracavemosal Injections: Prostaglandin E1 injection self-administered by the patient into his penis help achieve firm and hard penile erection in just a few minutes. These injections are invasive and yield 100% results in patients suffering from PED.
Suppository Cure: MUSE suppository treatments are widely used to administer prostaglandin E1 into patients not comfortable with injections. The patient, post-urination, is required to slip in a chemical pellet into the urethral opening using the applicator. This technique helps initiate erection in just few minutes. However, MUSE has a success rate of just 43% and is shown to have many side-effects like discomfort of sexual partner and burning and pain in the penile tissues.
Although the above medications are found to be effective in treating PED, sexual therapy, natural herbs, acupuncture, and homeopathic treatments are much more useful in helping the patient get rid of his psychogenic barriers to sex and erection. Integrated approach, using a combination of the above treatments, is the best in achieving 100 per cent success in treating the disorder.
Psychological Erectile Dysfunction (PED) is different from all other forms of ED as it is caused due to emotional or psychogenic factor, rather than the physical or organic ones. For instance, stress, anxiety, chronic depression, mood disorders, or emotional traumas can often lead to loss of interest in sex and consequent loss of penile erection in patient. More..
