Erectile dysfunction may be helped by Maxi-K gene therapy
Maxi-K gene therapy may be a safe and effective future option for men whose erectile dysfunction (ED) is not treatable with oral therapy. This therapy is not yet available commercially but shows immense promise for the future.
Maxi-K therapy is a unique, locally administrated gene-transfer technology to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). The safety and the restorative effects of the treatment have been shown by data from participants in a phase I trial. In some men, the effect lasted up to six months.
The gene therapy appears safe as no transfer-related adverse events were reported more than two years after the transfer in some subjects. Unlike conventional oral treatments for men with ED, Maxi-K therapy doesn’t require prior planning, fosters sexual spontaneity and can be used by men taking heart medication.

I read about that and couldn’t help but laugh at the way they worded that: “not treatable with oral therapy”. I know what they really meant by ‘oral therapy’ and I know its a serious problem. But still the way they said it made me laugh.
