Hi,

There are many treatments available for impotence. Viagra and other drugs, penile implants, vacuum erection devices, injection therapy are options.

Viagra increases blood flow to the penis. Many men find it effective. However, Viagra fails for 30% - 40% of men who try it. Also, clinical data shows Viagra's effectiveness for a radical prostatectomy patient to be quite low.Men who have not had success with Viagra should seek other treatments. Among available treatments, a penile implant often is the most effective long-term solution as well as the best choice for maximum sexual spontaneity.
