Don't get tricked into bogus erectile dysfunction treatments. Roughly 50 percent of men will experience erectile dysfunction at some point, but zero percent of men want to talk about erectile dysfunction.
Dr. Tobias Kohler, a Mayo Clinic sexual health expert, says there are excellent treatments available, but too often he sees patients waste hundreds or even thousands of dollars on so-called natural remedies or “magical” cures that do absolutely nothing to help the problem.
A few unproven treatments Dr. Kohler frequently gets asked about:
- shockwave therapy
- platelet rich plasma therapy
- stem cell therapy
Instead, he says just talk to your health care provider who can give you a scientifically proven treatment that may even be covered by insurance and who can also help treat whatever may be causing erectile dysfunction.

I’ve never met Dr. Kohler and doubt I ever will but I find it very rewarding that a physician felt strongly enough about a subject to debunk the rumor mill pertaining to a touchy subject for men. I wish more physicians at Mayo took a few minutes to address some of the misinformation in their prospective fields.
