Erectile dysfunction (ED), or erection problems, is much more common than people think, affecting millions of men around the world. Yet, this subject often remains taboo, and many are reluctant to talk about it, even with their doctor. With the advancement of treatments and technologies, effective solutions are available to improve the sexual quality of life for patients, and Kano.care is committed to offering personalized, fast, and secure treatments to help men overcome this issue.
Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the recurrent or occasional inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. It can be caused by physical factors (such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension) or psychological factors (stress, anxiety, depression). Moreover, lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcoholism, and being overweight can worsen this condition.
The crucial role of Kano.care is to facilitate access to medical consultation so that every man can receive an accurate and personalized diagnosis. Our digital clinic allows you to obtain a legal prescription and access safe and approved treatments to combat erectile dysfunction.
It is essential to speak openly about erectile dysfunction, as it can be a warning sign of serious conditions such as heart problems or diabetes. Many men with erectile dysfunction also have underlying diseases, which makes medical consultation all the more crucial. At Kano.care, we encourage our patients to discuss their symptoms without taboo to benefit from the best treatment options.
The most common treatment and often the first step in managing erectile dysfunction is the use of oral medications. These drugs, known as type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE5), include well-known brands such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and Stendra. These medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis, thus facilitating an erection in response to sexual stimulation.
At Kano.care, you can easily obtain a legal prescription for these medications by consulting our specialists through our online platform. Our fast and confidential service ensures access to safe medications, while avoiding the risks associated with counterfeit products often sold online.
For patients who do not respond to drug treatments or who are looking for an alternative solution, low-intensity shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) is a non-invasive option. This treatment stimulates the regeneration of penile tissue and promotes the creation of new blood vessels, thereby improving erectile function in the long term.
This type of therapy is particularly effective for men whose erectile dysfunction is caused by poor blood circulation. Kano.care does not offer these treatments but will guide you if necessary. You can also consult Dr. Sam Ward the medical director of Kano.care
For men who prefer to avoid medication or invasive treatments, mechanical devices can be an excellent alternative. The penis ring and the vacuum pump are simple tools that can help achieve or maintain an erection. The vacuum pump uses suction to draw blood into the penis, while the penis ring prevents the blood from leaving the penis once an erection is achieved.
These devices are easy to use and represent a safe solution for many men. They are often recommended as a first step before considering more invasive treatments. Kano specialists will give you recommendations based on the evaluation of your condition.
If drug or mechanical treatments do not yield the expected results, there are other options such as intracavernosal injections, which involve directly injecting substances into the penis to improve erection. These injections are usually performed by the patient themselves at home, after training with a healthcare professional, and in this scenario, Kano guides you towards the appropriate care pathway.
Furthermore, innovative treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and Botox injections are also used to stimulate erectile function. PRP is a technique that uses the patient's own blood cells to promote tissue regeneration, while Botox can relax certain penile muscles to facilitate an erection.
Pour les hommes souffrant de dysfonction érectile sévère et résistante aux autres traitements, la chirurgie d'implant pénien peut être envisagée. Il existe deux types d’implants : les implants semi-rigides et les implants gonflables.
At Kano.care, we offer specialized consultations to assess if this option is suitable for your case, and if so, a referral to an in-office consultation is necessary.
The approach of Kano.care is based on a complete customization of treatments. Every man is unique, and it is essential to assess the severity of erectile dysfunction through a thorough diagnosis. We regularly use assessment tools such as the IEF-5 score (International Index of Erectile Function) to determine the best treatment plan.
This simple questionnaire, which you can fill out directly on our platform, helps our specialists understand the nature of your symptoms and to offer a personalized treatment accordingly. You also have the option to request a quick teleconsultation to discuss your options in complete confidentiality.
