The pills like Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn), Tadalafil (Cialis) and Avanafil (Stendra) work wonders and help people get a normal erection, but if you cannot address root causes, the medications might stop working after a short period of time. Furthermore, long term usage of those medications can cause other medical issues. Besides pills, other treatment methods like self-injected medications, suppositories, vacuum inflation tools, testosterone replacement therapy, and penile implants surgery can be done to say goodbye to an erectile dysfunction problem. An experienced acupuncturist would stimulate acupuncture point such as CV4, CV3 and UB32 manually by inserting fine needles from 50-60mm.
