Consult your doctor. They can assess your specific situation and recommend the best course of action for you.
Several non-pharmaceutical options exist:
- Lifestyle Changes: Weight loss, regular exercise, a healthy diet, and quitting smoking can significantly improve erectile function. These changes benefit cardiovascular health as well. Counseling: Addressing underlying psychological issues like stress, anxiety, or depression through therapy can positively impact ED. Penile Implants: A surgical option involving the placement of inflatable or malleable rods within the penis to enable erections. Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs): These devices create a vacuum around the penis, drawing blood into it and causing an erection. They’re generally safe but require proper usage. Medication Alternatives: Your doctor might explore alternative oral medications, such as those that target specific hormonal imbalances, if appropriate.
Specific treatment depends on the severity of ED, overall health, including cardiovascular health, and patient preferences. Discuss all options with your doctor to create a personalized treatment plan.
Remember: Always prioritize open communication with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance and ensure your safety.
