There are two categories of medications that can be utilised to treat erectile dysfunction. The first category includes testosterone which is for the men who are testosterone deficient. By correcting the deficiency, a man can improve his erectile quality. The second category is a class of medication called phosphodiesterase inhibitors. They are very commonly applied and are usually the first line of therapy. Approximately sixty to eighty percent of men respond effectively to the phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
