Stents for erectile failure

Recently my doctor recommended that I have stents placed to reverse my erectile dysfunction. Does this work?

Stents are the latest fad for the treatment of ED, but there is ZERO guarantee that they will work. If you have no blocked blood vessels, then putting stents is a complete waste of money. The radiologists recommend this because they make money. There are 1000s of diabetics with normal blood vessels in their pelvis and yet have erectile failure. So placing a stent is useless. Even if you have a blocked blood vessel, placing a stent may not reverse the erectile failure. Surgery procedures to correct erectile failure were done in the 80s and 90s-the results were abysmal.

Remember, in medicine there are some doctors who make a living scamming patients by doing unnecessary procedures. The procedure will cost you a minimum of $7,000-$10,000 with ZERO guarantee of success. So buyer beware. Please change your doctor.
