Consider lifestyle changes. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress reduction techniques like yoga or meditation can significantly improve erectile function. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.
Explore vacuum erection devices. These devices create a vacuum around the penis, drawing blood in and causing an erection. They’re often used temporarily before intercourse. Consult your doctor before using one.
Penile implants are a surgical option for men with severe ED. These surgically implanted devices allow for erections on demand. Discuss the risks and benefits thoroughly with your urologist.
Counseling can address psychological factors contributing to ED. Anxiety and depression are common causes; a therapist can provide tools to manage these conditions and improve sexual function.
Hormone replacement therapy might be suitable if low testosterone levels are causing ED. Your doctor will need to conduct blood tests to determine if this is the appropriate treatment.
