Openly talking about sex or sexual problems is a taboo in India. The society believes it is a matter only to be discussed privately among partners and this belief to keep it extremely private is the root cause of several sexual health issues in the country. Lack of awareness and open discussions on sexual health makes it difficult for people to seek out help in case of sexual problems. Health issues are ignored and kept to oneself till it is too late. Male impotency and erectile dysfunction are the two most common problems among males. Studies conducted on India’s sexual health problems indicate that a large number of Indian males suffer from impotency compared to other countries, making India the impotence capital of the world. One out of every 10 Indian men is impotent, the incidence could be higher in metros. Nearly 25 out of every 100 patients with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) are below 30 years. A decade ago, this number was only five to seven. An internal survey on the prevalence of ED in young men has revealed that of 400 men who complained of either failure to get a penile erection or sustain an erection, an alarming 100 were in their 20s. Doctors suggest that creating a safe and healthy environment to talk freely about sexual health is one of the primary ways to aid the treatment.
Keeping this in mind, Institute of Andrology and Sexual Health (IASH) has built its treatment methods in a way that encourages patients to talk and share about male sexual health. Dr Chirag Bhandari, IASH believes that half the cure is done just by listening to the patient with care and concern. The institute believes in treating patients by bringing about a change in lifestyle along with using the latest technological developments to provide the best possible healthcare. Sexual treatments require precision and accuracy which can only be achieved by modern equipment.
At IASH, state-of-the-art medical technology from around the world is used for treatments. Shockwave therapy equipment from Germany is used for improving erections. P-shot method, commonly used in the U.S is employed for correcting erectile dysfunction. Be it the biothesiometer or the biofeedback, all technology at the IASH institute is kept updated in touch with the latest developments so that the patient does not lose out on fast and improved treatments. Dr Bhandari travels to different countries to get training and attend workshops and conferences on the latest technological developments in the field of male sexual health. The Tesla Electromagnetic and Stimulation Therapy used at the institute to correct erectile dysfunction is one adopted from Dr Bhandari’s training in South Korea. All machinery used are scientific and research-based. Treatments done are evidence based, reliable and have high success rates.
In India, patients already find it difficult to consult a sexologist so worrying about the kind of treatment they receive should be the last thing on their list. Patients always want to be treated at centres that specialise in a particular treatment and offer the latest technology and experienced doctors. IASH offers it all and is one of the best institutes for getting one’s sexual problem cured by top-notch practitioners.
