What treatment options are available for erectile dysfunction?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

As you said, you have been having this issue for two months, so it is essential to consult a sexologist for further investigation. ED (erectile dysfunction) results from physical factors like diabetes, high BP (blood pressure) levels, low testosterone levels, or any nerve issues. It can also develop due to psychological factors like stress, depression, performance anxiety, and relationship issues. Other than these, it can also be due to smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet, or a lack of exercise. Along with proper treatment regarding the cause of ED, you can adopt the following,

1. Lifestyle changes:

1. Maintain a healthy diet.

2. Exercise regularly to improve cardiovascular health.

3. Manage stress through relaxation techniques or counseling.

4. Limit alcohol and quit smoking.

5. Proper and adequate sleep.

   2. Dietary Adjustments:

   1. Consider foods rich in antioxidants and nitric oxide boosters like leafy greens, beets, and watermelon.

   2. Discuss with your doctor if supplements like L-arginine or Panax ginseng are appropriate. Consult a specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medication.

      3. Exercises:

      1. Pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels, can improve sexual function.

      2. Cardiovascular exercises can enhance blood flow.

         4. Therapies

         1. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help address psychological factors contributing to ED.

         2. Couples therapy may help with relationship-related issues.

            I hope this will help you.

            Thank you.
