( reatments for men with erectile dysfunc...)Gene Therapy a Better Alternative to Viagra Please,Health

reatments for men with erectile dysfunction, whether pills or minimally invasive therapies, must be used 'on demand', thereby reducing the spontaneity of the sexual act.' The Wake Forest therapy works by inserting small pieces of DNA into cells to trigger the production of proteins which, in turn, help smooth muscle cells relax.

Relaxing the smooth muscle in the penis allows it to fill with blood and achieve an erection. Dr Geoff Hackett, president of the British Society for Sexual Medicine, said the gene therapy might be appealing to some men for whom other treatments had failed, but predicted many men would be reluctant to have a shot in the penis. He stressed that many men with ED also had underlying medical disease, such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol or diabetes, and that this should also be treated.

This is an exciting field of research because current treatments for men with erectile dysfunction must be used 'on demand', thereby reducing the spontaneity of the sexual act Researcher Dr Arnold Melman. However, the human trials involved injections into the penis and some experts queried whether men would choose this option.
