Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common men’s health concerns, affecting millions worldwide. With so many treatment choices—pills, injections, or shockwave therapy—men often wonder: Which works best for me?
At Sleep & Wellness Medical Associates, Dr. Siddique, with over 35 years of expertise in men’s health, provides personalized treatment plans that target the root causes of ED, not just the symptoms.
Understanding the Main ED Treatments
ED Pills (Oral Medications)
- Examples: Viagra® (sildenafil), Cialis® (tadalafil), Levitra®.
- Pros: Convenient, fast-acting, widely available.
- Cons: May cause side effects (headaches, flushing), not effective for all men, especially those with severe vascular or Peyronie’s Disease. Learn more about ED treatment options.
ED Injections
- Example: Alprostadil injections.
- Pros: High effectiveness, works even when pills don’t.
- Cons: Invasive, risk of pain, scarring, or priapism.
- Usually prescribed when oral medications are not effective.
Shockwave Therapy for ED
- A cutting-edge non-invasive treatment using low-intensity shockwaves.
- Pros: Improves blood flow, regenerates tissue, long-term benefits, no downtime.
- Cons: Requires multiple sessions, results may vary. Learn more about our Shockwave Therapy for ED.

Which ED Treatment Works Best?
- Mild to Moderate ED: Oral medications often work well.
- Severe ED or non-responders: Injections may be necessary.
- Long-Term Results: Shockwave therapy shows the most promise in restoring natural erections without dependency on medication.
At Sleep & Wellness Medical Associates, we frequently combine treatments—such as shockwave therapy and P-Shot® (see details here)—for optimal outcomes.
Choosing the Right ED Treatments
The best approach depends on:
- Severity of ED
- Underlying causes (vascular disease, Peyronie’s, diabetes, etc.)
- Patient’s overall health and goals
Dr. Siddique provides personalized evaluations to determine whether ED pills, injections, or shockwave (or a combination) is the best path forward.
