Studies have shown 52% of all men suffer from some degree of erectile dysfunction (1). It is the most prevalent health problem in the male population today and has been so for many years. It is in fact more common than diabetes, hypertension and depression combined, and the prevalence is increasing. This fact is not as surprising as it may seem due to the close relationship between these three conditions and ED. There is also a strong relationship between ED and aging. In 1900, the average life expectancy was about fifty years compared with seventy five years in 2003 (2) and the population of the industrialized nations continues to age rapidly. People over the age of sixty five constitute 11% of the population. By the year 2030 they are expected to represent 17% of the community. Men are living longer and the rate of remarrying men 65 years and older is increasing (3). This has brought about a change of attitudes in most men. Neither they nor their partners are willing to accept the premise that ED is a normal part of the aging process. On the other hand, Premature Ejaculation, a seemingly harmless condition affects around (1) in three (3) sexually active men (4). The psychological impacts on these men are enormous. Even though PE and ED are a widespread problem with potentially significant consequences, traditional medical care has yet to catch up with the demand. Conventional medical practices have yet to embrace or to task an additional division to address this growing concern. Recognizing such an imbalance between needs and services, Boston Medical Group has been focusing exclusively on the diagnosis and treatment of male Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation. Our physicians are extensively trained in our proprietary methods and most have many years experience in the successful treatment of ED and PE. (1) Source “Massachusetts Male Aging Study” (MMAS) |
