There are many different causes of erectile dysfunction, but the number one cause of erectile dysfunctions is a decline in the quality of life. If you are losing the drive to get up in the morning, staying up late at night, missing days of work, or just not feeling as good as you did before, it could be time for a lifestyle change. Lifestyle changes like dieting, regular exercise, and getting more sleep can help improve erectile dysfunctions. However, if your ED is caused by stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma to the body, lifestyle changes won’t always help.
There are a lot of different treatments for patients with erectile dysfunction. Some doctors prescribe stronger prescription medications such as Viagra or Cialis, or they might suggest alternative treatments such as acupuncture, hypnosis, meditation, herbal supplements, and stress management techniques. Although there is no magic pill when it comes to treating ED, there are a few things you can do to ease the symptoms and allow your doctor to prescribe the right treatments.
Treating erectile dysfunction on a psychological or physical basis isn’t as effective as treating it on a psychological or physical basis. ED often has a psychological component to it, but not every person with erectile dysfunction has psychological problems. In fact, many people with erectile dysfunction have psychological problems too, but because they’re unable to get their psychological issues resolved, they end up resorting to their physical dysfunction. When ED occurs because of psychological stresses, the best thing to do is treat the psychological stresses first and then deal with the physical problem. This will relieve the physical aspect of ED as well, allowing your doctor to prescribe the right treatment.
One way to treat psychological ED is to take part in exercises designed to strengthen pelvic muscles and increase libido. Many doctors recommend these exercises to patients that suffer from male sexual dysfunction. Other common exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and increase the sexual desire in men involve specific breathing and meditation techniques. These techniques aren’t commonly used for treating erectile dysfunction, but some therapists still use them. The advantage of using these techniques is that they don’t require a prescription or a visit to the doctor. The only requirement is that you follow the exercises consistently and correctly for one month.
Another way to treat erectile dysfunction on a psychological or physical basis is to address the emotional aspects of depression. There are a variety of reasons why a man may be suffering from depression. He may have been rejected by his partner, he may feel incompetent at work, or he may have low self-esteem. Men with poor self-esteem are less likely to be sexually active than men with a high self-esteem. If a male with erectile dysfunction is depressed, the doctor will be able to find the root cause of the depression and treat it accordingly.
