Contact your doctor. They can perform a physical exam, discuss your medical history, and order tests to rule out underlying health issues contributing to erectile dysfunction (ED). This is the first and most important step.
Consider a urologist or men’s health specialist. These doctors specialize in conditions affecting the urinary and reproductive systems, providing expert care for ED.
Explore therapy options. A therapist can help address psychological factors potentially impacting ED, such as stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common and effective approach.
Discuss treatment options with your doctor. These might include lifestyle changes (like diet and exercise), medication (oral medications, injections, or topical creams), or surgery. Your doctor will recommend the best approach based on your individual needs and health.
Find support groups. Connecting with others experiencing similar challenges can provide emotional support and valuable information.
Be proactive in your healthcare. Open communication with your doctor is key to successful treatment. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and express your concerns.
