What happens if lifestyle changes don't make a difference? What if Viagra doesn't work?

There are a number of second-line treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) and with the help of Urology Nurse Fiona Holden we look at the options beyond first-line medications, including vacuum devices and emerging therapies.

You'll learn:

  • How vacuum therapy works and who it’s suitable for
  • About injectable treatments
  • Emerging treatments like Shockwave Therapy and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
  • What to know before going private
  • Why seeing a reputable andrologist matters
