Change your lifestyle to improve your sexuality!
Get a better erection… many men have always been looking for solutions to their sexual problems. While standard treatments for erectile dysfunction include pharmaceutical drugs, pumps and in some cases surgery, many men prefer more natural options. More likely, scientific research has shown that certain natural solutions are effective in combating erectile dysfunction.
Nevertheless, is it possible to remedy this disorder without resorting to other solutions?
SpecialHomme tells you YES… it is possible to combat this troublesome disorder without any medication, whether chemical or natural. Here, we reveal some of the habits you need to review or adopt to regain a hard, long-lasting erection!
Better erections: what you can already do
For many men, erectile dysfunction is caused or aggravated by lifestyle choices. Here are a few things you can do that can really help:
- If you smoke, quit. If you’re having trouble quitting, get help. Try nicotine-based treatments (such as nicotine gum or patches) available on the market, or ask your doctor about prescription medications that can help you quit.
- Lose weight. Being overweight can cause – or even worsen – erectile dysfunction.
- Exercise regularly. This can cure underlying problems that play a role in erectile dysfunction. Exercise relieves stress and can help you lose weight and increase blood flow. In short, exercise is always good for the body in general and for the cavernous and spongy bodies in particular!
- Get treatment for alcohol or drug addiction. Excessive alcohol consumption and the use of certain illicit drugs can aggravate erectile dysfunction either directly or by causing long-term health problems.
- Work on relationship problems. Improve communication with your partner first. Then, if necessary, consider specialist advice and couple therapy if you’re having trouble improving your relationship on your own.
I still can’t stand at attention! What can I do about it?
If you feel that all these “home-made” solutions don’t solve your erection problem, it may be time to see a specialist. Medical treatment is essential when the cause of the problem is physical.
The first thing your doctor will do is make sure you’re getting the right treatment for any health problems that may be causing or aggravating your erectile dysfunction.
Physical examinations can provide many clues. They can reveal circulatory, hormonal or other unusual characteristics of the penis itself. After the physical examination, laboratory tests can be carried out to help diagnose the cause of erectile dysfunction.
Even in the case of physical causes and medical treatment of symptoms, most doctors recommend that men suffering from erectile dysfunction adopt a healthy lifestyle to speed up treatment. Psychotherapy and behavior change may also be prescribed.
