Conditions for Candidacy
Welcome to Your Journey with the Vascular Institute for Erectile Dysfunction
Dr. Masabni and his dedicated team are here to guide you every step of the way to achieve your goal – better erections. With Dr. Masabni’s expertise, you’re set to begin an exciting new chapter where your desired changes become a beautiful, living reality, opening the door to renewed confidence and self-assurance.
We Welcome You
Our Conditions for Candidacy have been carefully developed to ensure that you are fully prepared for your journey to improve your erectile function. Each condition reflects a deep commitment to personal growth, realistic expectations, and a harmonious doctor-patient relationship, setting the stage for a successful and fulfilling experience.
Medical Criteria
Candidates for evaluation at the Vascular Institute for Erectile Dysfunction are those with erectile dysfunction who:
- Experience a Decreased Response to ED Pills: Patients who no longer achieve adequate erections with ED pills (Viagra, Cialis, etc.).
- Find ED Pills Ineffective: Patients who never responded to ED pills despite increasing doses.
- Suffer Adverse Reactions: Patients who experience negative side effects from ED pills.
Patients who are responding well to ED pills or those who have recently started using them (within the last 3 months) are currently not candidates for evaluation at our institute.
Commitment to Self
Embarking on this journey may require an unfamiliar and possibly uncomfortable level of commitment to yourself. Investing time, energy, and resources into your personal journey can feel daunting and even self-indulgent at first. However, this is a crucial step towards embracing a holistic approach to self-improvement and well-being.
Lifestyle Changes
To enhance your treatment outcomes, we recommend the following lifestyle adjustments:
- Quit Smoking: Smoking can significantly impact your vascular health and erectile function.
- Moderate Alcohol Intake: Limit alcohol intake to a maximum of 14 units per week.
- Physical Activity: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.
- Healthy Diet: Eat 5 portions of fruits or vegetables daily to support overall health.
At the Vascular Institute for Erectile Dysfunction, we are dedicated to providing you with exceptional care and support on your journey to better sexual health. We look forward to helping you achieve your health goals and regain your confidence.
Embracing Realistic Expectations
Dr. Masabni’s expertise lies in performing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedures to help you achieve better erections. However, this requires patience, as your erectile function may take up to 3 months to improve after the procedure. Continued follow-up with Dr. Masabni is essential, as improving blood flow to the penis may unmask another treatable condition – penile venous leak. This occurs in about 20% of patients treated with stent placement for erectile dysfunction.
Commitment to the Process
To ensure the best possible outcomes, it is crucial to follow Dr. Masabni’s preoperative and postoperative instructions closely and attend all scheduled post-op and follow-up appointments. These steps are vital in preserving the integrity of your results and facilitating a smooth, successful recovery.
Confirming Medical Fitness
Partnering with your primary physician, relevant specialists, and Dr. Masabni’s team to obtain medical clearances is a critical step. This collaborative effort confirms your health status, guaranteeing your safety and the best possible outcomes.
