Introduce ED1000 for Erectile Dysfunction, Cost Treatment in India

TROUBLE IN BED?

RESEARCH PROVES THAT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION MAY SERVE AS AN EARLY WARNING SIGN FOR TODAY’S MOST NOTORIOUS LIFESTYLE DISEASES, FINDS APARNA CHITRE ACHAREKAR




Forty five-year-old Rakesh enjoyed a normal married life for over 15 years till he first experienced 'performance problems' in bed. Attributing it to mounting stress at work, he ignored it for over a year, until he performed even poorly in the cardiac stress test he underwent as part of his annual health check up.

Rakesh now understands the intricate correlation between his ‘performance problems’ and an impending cardiovascular disease.

"Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a definite marker for an oncoming vascular disease," notes Dr Sudhakar Krishnamurti, andrologist and microsurgeon, and director, Andromeda Andrology Center, Hyderabad. A recent study by researchers at the University of Chicago reported that men who had no problems with sexual function at the start of a seven-year study later developed ED. These men were 25 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke compared with those who did not develop ED.

According to the Massachusetts Male Ageing Study, ED affects about 10-15 per cent of the under-40 age group and about 52 per cent of those above 40. Says Dr Krishnamurti, "For centuries, ED has been presumed to be the result of mental (or psychogenic) causes, and millions have either undergone ineffective psychiatric treatment, or worse - fallen prey to aphrodisiacs and other useless medication. Research has now conclusively shown that impotence has a physical (or physiological) cause in nearly 90 per cent of the cases and like most other physiological problems, is often curable."

Erectile dysfunction or impotence is defined as the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner. It may be caused by a problem directly related to the penis or to the blood vessels leading to the penis. Simply put, if you turn on your kitchen faucet and don't get any flow, either faucet is broken or pipes are clogged.

Pipe clogging is what seems to explain why heart problems and erectile dysfunction are so often seen together. High levels of cholesterol or arterial damage can cause arteries to clog. In case of the penis, the blood vessels leading to it are barely 2mm in diameter. Plaque deposition in these vessels will not allow enough blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation leading to ED. Since blockage of blood vessels in the penis happens earlier than in the carotid and coronary arteries, ED is often one of the first signals that male body sends out.

There is increasing evidence that ED may be caused by a reduced amount of nitric oxide in the blood vessels of the penis. In men with erectile dysfunction, nitric oxide levels are low, so blood vessels cannot allow blood to reach the penis.

Treatment
Instead of just getting a prescription to treat the condition, experts recommend that men with erectile dysfunction see a doctor who can check for underlying vascular problems.

Says Dr Krishnamurti, "Though the damage to the arteries of the penis cannot be reversed, medication, vacuum therapy, injection therapy and in some cases penile prosthetic implantation operation has been proven to be useful." 



Time to see a Physician?
Performance anxiety experienced by newly weds or under other extreme psychological conditions are best handled by psychiatrists. If a person experiences ED after years of normal sex life, then a physician will be able to advise best.

Prevention
"A higher index of awareness can prevent the physiological and psychological impact of ED. While people must shed inhibitions and talk to their physicians the latter should become comfortable to discuss sex with their patients," concludes Dr Krishnamurti.

Lithotripsy Surgery in Delhi, India with the best of hospitality and low cost benefit medical care

Lithotripsy Surgery in Delhi, India with the best of hospitality and low cost benefit medical care
Getting the lithotripsy surgery done in Delhi, India is the best and the most effective option to avail the benefits of low cost and quality treatment in the medical tourism package.
Lithotripsy is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves (thus the term Shock Wave Lithotripsy) to break up stones that form in the kidney, ureter and urinary bladder. The alternative names for Lithotripsy procedure are Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ECSWL), Laser Lithotripsy, Percutaneous Lithotripsy, Endoscopic Lithotripsy or Intracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ICSWL).


Why is Lithotripsy performed?

Lithotripsy is performed if the stone is big in size, has an unusual shape (stag-horn) or is stuck (impacted) in the ureter and cannot be passed out during urination following forced diuresis.


Procedure for Lithotripsy

The lithotripsy procedure generally takes 45 minutes to 1 hour.
You will receive local anesthesia with sedation to minimize pain and discomfort however, at the same time you will be required to stay still during the Lithotripsy procedure. You might experience a mild tapping sensation during the procedure. There might be mild discomfort or pain during the procedure.
There are two techniques available that are equally effective and widely used at most medical facilities. One method is that you will lay on a soft cushion through which the shock waves pass. About 2 - 8 thousand shock waves are needed to crush and fragment the stone(s) in a single Lithotripsy procedure.
The second method is you will be asked to lay in a special tub filled with warm water, stones will be located and visualized by x-ray or ultrasound and shock waves will be directed from the Lithotripsy machine called Lithotripter. These shock waves will pass through your skin and are completely harmless. The procedure described above is that of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ECSWL).
For Intracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ICSWL), an endoscope or Cystoscope is used to get close to the stone inside the urinary tract and laser waves are applied to fragment the stone into small particles. Intracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ICSWL) or Laser Lithotripsy is usually performed when the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ECSWL) technique fails.
The sand like particles of the stone are either fished out in a basket attached to the Cystoscope and extracted out or they are passed out naturally during urination. Sometimes a stent is inserted in the ureter to keep it patent and facilitate the passage of stone fragments and debris with the urine, over the next few days.
You will spend the next couple of hours in the recovery room under observation for bleeding or any other immediate complications. You will be allowed to go home after one or two days following the Lithotripsy procedure.
Delhi, India is the most preferred destination for Lithotripsy Surgery by the global patients. The reason behind this haul is the availability of high quality and low cost Cystoscopy Surgery in Delhi, India. The hospitals in Delhi, India are among the most advanced medical outsourcing facilities in the world, with specific programs carefully designed to attract medical tourisms.
