I am starting to wonder if there is anything aspirin can't do. Maybe we should all stock up on aspirin before FDA declares aspirin to be an "experimental drug" (as it did with pyridoxamine) and pulls it off the shelves.
The dose used was low (100mg), so it may not even need extra vitamin K to control bleeding, but given the studies showing vitamin K raises testosterone synthesis/levels I think the combination may even more effective. The only drawback of the aspirin therapy was that it has to be taken for 6 weeks. However, given the links between Viagra-type drugs and melanoma (and other deadly cancers), and the fact that aspirin actually seems to treat the condition rather than temporarily improve the symptoms (like Viagra does) - I think this becomes a nobrainer.
Antiplatelet (aspirin) therapy as a new option in the treatment of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction: a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study
Aspirin Found Effective for Erectile Dysfunction
"...In a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study, Zeki Bayraktar, MD, and Selami Albayrak, MD, of Istanbul Medipol University in Turkey, found that therapy with 100 mg/day of aspirin for 6 weeks was associated with significant improvement in erectile function compared with placebo among men with VED and a high MPV."
"... At baseline, the proportions of patients who answered yes to SEP2 and SEP3 were similar in both study arms: 51.6% and 31.6%, respectively, for the aspirin group and 50% and 31.2% for the placebo group. At the end of treatment, the proportions answering yes to SEP2 and SEP3 were significantly higher in the aspirin than placebo group (88.3% and 78.3% vs 59.3% and 43.5%). “Aspirin is an effective and safe therapeutic option for patients with VED, especially for patients with a high MPV,” the authors concluded."
