Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Winnipeg
Erectile Dysfunction is the consistent inability to sustain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. ED can range from mild to severe, from a tendency to sustain erections for only a brief period to a total inability to achieve an erection. ED is very common.
Approximately 40% of men in their 40s experience some degree of ED, with the prevalence of ED increasing about 10% per decade.
ED Medical Management focuses on addressing Erectile Dysfunction (ED), a common condition where men find it challenging to achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. While ED can impact self-esteem and intimate relationships, advancements in medical science have provided effective treatments to manage and overcome this condition.
The medical management of ED encompasses a range of treatments, from oral medications like Viagra and Cialis to more direct methods such as penile injections. The right treatment depends on the root cause of the ED, its severity, and individual patient preferences.
To put it in simpler terms: ED Medical Management is like providing a toolkit to help men regain their sexual confidence and functionality, ensuring satisfying intimate experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are a number of risk factors for ED which include: advancing age, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, metabolic syndrome, sedentary lifestyle, and smoking. There is a growing body of literature which suggests that ED and cardiovascular disease share common risk factors. Therefore, ED may be an early warning sign for future development of cardiovascular disease.
For patients with ED, our goal is provide our patients with an understanding as to the likely cause of their ED and how to fix the underlying issue to improve their natural erection. Further, as specialists with sub-speciality training in ED, we are the only Men’s Health Clinic in Canada to offer the full array of treatment for your ED.
During your initial consultation and follow-ups, our team will evaluate the severity of your ED, your treatment options and their respective pros and cons.
The first line of therapy for uncomplicated ED is use of oral medications known as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5):
sildenafil citrate (Viagra®)
vardenafil HCl (Levitra®)
tadalafil (Cialis®)
PDE5 inhibitors work by relaxing the muscle cells in the penis, allowing for better blood flow and production of a rigid erection. These medications are effective, and nearly 50% of men show improvement once they begin use.
While studies have shown these medications are safe for men with cardiac problems, men taking nitrates should speak with their physician before beginning these ED drugs to understand the possible drug interactions or affects on their other health conditions.
Some patients may experience side effects with these medications, including:
Headaches
Facial blushing
Upset stomach
Mild and temporary visual effects

Marketed as a “cure” for ED, there is extremely limited data on the benefits of the “P” shot and Stem Cells for ED. As Urologists who specialize in ED and have performed considerable research in the field, we do not recommend these therapies outside of a clinical trial setting.
Men’s Health Clinic Manitoba has a dedicated research program to be able to identify novel treatments and confirm the effectiveness of currently used therapies. Please visit our research page to learn more about our program and how you can support our program.
