How to deal with erectile dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is commonly called "impotence." It's a condition in which a man can't achieve or maintain an erection during sexual performance. Symptoms may also include reduced sexual desire or libido.

These kinds of issues can happen at any time and to any man. Causes mainly include:  fatigue, stress, relationship issues, performance anxiety and alcohol consumption.

Standard treatments include pharmaceutical medications, vacuum pumps, implants, and surgery, but many men prefer natural options. Research has found that some natural options can improve your ED symptoms.

Standard treatments for ED include lifestyle changes, such as: exercising, losing weight, stopping smoking, and curbing alcohol intake

Medications like Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra increase blood flow to the penis. But they can also cause side effects.

Men who have experienced a stroke or have uncontrolled diabetes or low blood pressure should not take ED medications.

Testosterone replacement and erection-inducing injections are also available.

In the meantime, talk with your doctor about your options, and don't give up. ED is a common condition that's very treatable. With some trial and error, you're likely to find what works for you and your partner.
