How erectile dysfunction is treated?

Your doc: Or a natural doc can test your hormone levels and rule out circulatory issues. Also, a clinical psychologist can teach you skills to keep from focusing on your "performance" which interferes also. Peace and good health.

Usually medications: Erectile dysfunction is usually treated with medications like viagra (sildenafil). First your doctor would do an exam and some blood work to make sure there are no physical, reversible causes of the dysfunction. The doctor would also look at your medications and make sure that none of them are causing the problem. There are other treatments such as vacuum pumps that your doctor can discuss with you.

Really: Depends on why you have erectile dysfunction. This often encompasses optimizing your health, including incorporating regular physical activity, optimizing your nutrition, minimizing alcohol and tobacco, optimizing sleep, minimizing stress, and optimizing your weight. If there's a psychologic component, then addressing this is necessary. Sometimes medications are necessary.

Psychological?: Many men struggling with ED are successfully treated with medication prescribed by a urologist or other physician. Sometimes ED issues are related to your psychology or internal conflicts. It is not always easy to know when this is the case. If you struggle with anxiety (performance or otherwise) and you have ED you might benefit from talking to a psychologist as well.

See your pcp: First the cause of the problem must be found. Then an appropriate treatment can be prescrived. If your pcp cannot help you with this, he/she can refer you to a urologist who can.

PDE5s + Arginine: Ask your doctor about viagra, Levitra (vardenafil) or Cialis and see which is best for you. Some men find that 4 grams of arginine hydrochloride taken 8 hours before sex increases the effectiveness of these medications. Losing weight and exercise also makes them more likely to work. Hormone supplementation may also be helpful.
