Consider lifestyle changes. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management significantly improve erectile function. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity weekly.
Dietary Adjustments
Focus on fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Limit processed foods, saturated fats, and excessive alcohol consumption. A diet rich in antioxidants may help improve blood flow.
Other Therapeutic Options
Explore natural remedies like L-arginine supplements (consult your doctor first). These supplements may improve nitric oxide production, aiding blood vessel dilation. Acupuncture and pelvic floor exercises can also help strengthen pelvic muscles, improving erectile function. Counseling or therapy can address psychological factors contributing to ED, offering a holistic approach to treatment.
When to Seek Professional Help
Schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and explore appropriate medical options if lifestyle changes and alternative treatments don’t provide sufficient relief. Your doctor can accurately diagnose the underlying cause and recommend the best course of action for you.
