The Boston Method^®

History and Introduction

The Boston Method^® was developed utilizing the 20 years of experience, advanced understanding, and specialized skills of our worldwide physician network.  The method itself is based on the unique understanding that treating sexual dysfunction requires a personalized assessment and treatment program for each patient, rather than a one size fits all approach that is often overly simplistic and ineffective as a result.  In order to create the most comfortable patient experience and optimal treatment outcome, The Boston Method^® places a special emphasis on three important factors: a confidential experience in the medical center, the evaluation of a patient’s medical history and diagnostic testing, and the determination of the most appropriate treatment options for each individual.

The Medical Centers

Having treated hundreds of thousands of men worldwide, our physicians understand not only the physical effects of sexual dysfunction, but also the psychological impact as well.  For this reason, all of our medical centers are built with individual waiting rooms to create a more comfortable and private patient experience.  All visits are by appointment only to limit the amount of patients in the office at any given time.  Furthermore, The Boston Method® is designed so that all testing and treatment is completed right there in the office without need for off-site travel, and our staff can help you fill any necessary prescriptions with the utmost confidentiality.

Testing and Medical History Evaluation

Sexual dysfunction is often the result of a complex interface between the psyche and the body, so the exact nature of the problems should be thoroughly diagnosed before The Boston Method® treatments are offered.

The diagnostic process begins with a complete evaluation past and present medical conditions, and a focused psychological assessment will often follow.

Next, a full diagnostic assessment is conducted, concentrating on the hormonal, neurological, and vascular aspect of penile functioning.  Two diagnostic tests are performed by the attending physician, Biothesiometry and a Doppler Ultrasound. All diagnostic tests are performed prior to The Boston Method® treatment begins.

• Biothesiometry assesses the afferent pathway of sensory innervation to a particular area of the body. It is used as a screening test to effectively determine if there is any neurological deficit, such as neuropathy commonly seen in patients with diabetes, post-prostatic or other invasive pelvic surgery. It is also used to confirm the causation of premature ejaculation.
• The Doppler Ultrasound reveals the status of blood flow to the penis in response to certain stimulation. An ultrasonic beam wave is emitted from the Doppler probe, travels through the intervening tissue and bounces back from the blood flow through the Cavernosal Artery of the penis. The arterial wave form and the velocity of blood flow enable accurate understanding of the vascular supply to the penile tissue and its integrity.

Along with your medical history, these painless and non-invasive diagnostic tests allow the physician to provide an explanation of the cause and extent of the problem, and to determine the most suitable treatment options utilizing The Boston Method®.

The Boston Method®: Treatment Options

Boston Medical Group physicians provide personalized treatments that elicit an immediate erectile response, while also focusing on the long-term improvement of the condition.  Unlike oral medications that treat only the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, The Boston Method^® seeks to identify the underlying problems, which prevents further damage and is often more effective.  For this reason, many of our patients discover that, after using their personalized treatment for the recommended time period, they no longer require treatment, or rarely require it again.
