Consider tadalafil (the generic version of Cialis) or other PDE5 inhibitors like vardenafil (Levitra) or sildenafil (Viagra). These medications work similarly, but may have slightly different side effect profiles and durations of action. Your doctor can help determine the best option for you.
Lifestyle changes, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques like meditation or yoga, can significantly improve erectile function. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week.
Hormone replacement therapy might be an option if low testosterone levels are contributing to erectile dysfunction. A blood test can determine your testosterone levels. Always discuss hormone therapy with your doctor before starting.
Penile implants or vacuum erection devices are surgical or mechanical options for men who haven’t found success with other treatments. These are usually considered after other approaches have been tried.
See a doctor immediately if you experience sudden vision loss, prolonged erection (priapism), chest pain, or shortness of breath. These could indicate serious health issues. Schedule an appointment if erectile dysfunction persists or significantly impacts your quality of life. Your doctor can perform a thorough evaluation and rule out underlying medical conditions.
