But... There's alcohol, there's alcohol. And one of the roles that alcohol plays is that when you're drinking alcohol, that itself is going to impact that endothelial function during the time of your use. And you're going to maybe, at night, not have an erection. Here's what happens. You can stop drinking and say, okay, that will fix it, but there's something that happened.

You're going to have a psychogenic response. It's called performance anxiety. And for some men, once they have a failure, it multiplies itself. They get performance anxiety and it becomes a psychogenic problem. And there's a vast majority of men who have erectile dysfunction actually have a performance anxiety or psychogenic cause.

So, revascularization is essentially, you're having, as we talked about, hardening of the arteries. And there's two ways that can be done. Just like you have angioplasty or stents placed in the heart, the same thing can be done for the penis. And that's one possibility.

Very interesting responses to the problem. And we're going to go through other possibilities. As you said, we're going to talk about stem cells and platelet-rich plasma. I always like to go back to the idea that, yeah, you can be revascularized, but why get there in the first place?

All of these things actually work. I mean, I've had patients of mine use a vacuum pump. I don't know how they do it. It works, doc. I love it. I've had people get penile implants. It works, doc. I love it. And they're pressing their testicle and they're getting their erection. And, you know, that's how the pump works.

You know, the pump is inside one testicle and you start pressing on it and it gives you your erection and it works. I've had men use the injections. They feel like 18 years old again. But they all have diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and I can't get them to get to that underlying cause. So I almost sometimes want to not let them get their erections.
