Diagnosing ED

At VortoLife we endeavour to find the cause of the problem before
recommending the most appropriate treatment. To do this we take
a comprehensive history and perform two essential tests.

Biothesiometry Test

A vibrating instrument is used to test the state of the nerve supply to various parts of the body including the penis.

This test is painless and non-invasive.

Eco-Doppler Test

An Eco-Doppler is an instrument to measure the blood flow through the penis.

This test is painless and non-invasive.

Treating ED

We specialise in custom made medication to suit your particular needs.

Once we have taken a medical history, performed an examination and completed the two tests, we are able to offer your a variety of treatments.

Oral Medication

Oral medication is often a first choice, and indeed, most patients will have already tried at least one form. We will not recommend oral medication if:

You have other medical conditions that make it more risky to use oral treatment.
We do not think it will work, as the effectiveness of oral medication is only between 55 and 70%.
You are taking other medications that should not be mixed with oral treatments.
You experience troublesome side effects when you take oral medication.
You want something that works faster and is more effective.

Sublingual Medication

This is medication that is sprayed under the tongue or a tablet that dissolves under the tongue.
These medications work more rapidly than oral (swallowed) medications.
They are generally safer and more effective.

Oral Strips

These are wafer thin squares of a cellulose material impregnated with combinations of approved vasodilators.
Within seconds they dissolve on the tongue rather like mint fresheners.
They work more rapidly, (within 5-10 minutes) are more effective and are safer than oral medications.

Combinations of Approved Vasodilators

These medications are the fastest working of them all.
They are very safe and can be used in most men, even those with very advanced medical conditions.
They usually don’t interfere with other medication you might be taking.
They are the most effective treatment for ED with many studies showing an effectivity rate of above 95%.

Peter, one of our patients with ED, (62 yo)

“I have been happily married for over 30 years. My wife and I have always enjoyed a full sex life, but that started to go downhill when I hit 58. I had been a smoker for over 40 years and was having heart and blood pressure problems. My sex life went downhill when I started taking blood pressure medication. Although I was advised not to, I tried many products on the net. For me it did not work and all I got was a headache and palpitations. I spoke to my doctor who referred me to an urologist.

We tried some injections, but those caused a burning pain in my member and only partially worked.
The solution to my problem came from an unlikely source. My father, 83 at the time, was having treatment for a prostate problem and out of the blue
mentioned that he also had experienced problems with his performance. He told me that he had been to VortoLife Men’s Clinics and after just one consult was at it again. I thought that if they can help an 83 year old surely they might do something to me.

I made an appointment an was met by a very sympathetic doctor who seemed to understand my problem. I told him I was concerned because of my medical problems and the medication I was taking. He assured me that whatever treatment he recommended would not jeopardise my health.

He did a blood-flow test and explained that my problem was due to poor circulation. He prescribed a combination of MHRA approved vasodilators that I was to use 10 minutes before intimacy.

They worked very well, giving me a full erection that lasted between 30 and 40 minutes. We are intimate now two or three times per week and I’m performing as good, if not better than even when I was well. My advice to anyone in my situation is to give it a try.”
