What is the treatment for erectile dysfunction?

 Hi,   Erectile dysfunction is the inability to keep an erection hard enough to have sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction may result from some underlying health conditions such as psychological causes like anxiety, stress etc, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, erratic life style, smoking, alcohol consumption, injuries to nerve, lack of proper blood supply to the penis due to any causes etc.

Lifestyle modifications, exercising regularly, avoid smoking or alcohol consumption, taking balanced diet, proper sleep, weight reduction, avoid taking trans fat, anxiety as well as stress management, taking some multivitamins as well as micronutrients like vitamin C, D, E, B-Complex, folic acid, zinc, omega-3 fatty acid etc may help to improve erectile dysfunction.

Studies have found that the average desirable duration of sexual intercourse is 7-13 minutes. Duration depends on some factors like premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, performance anxiety etc. Some investigations like S. Testosterone, pelvic ultrasound or MRI, RBS, thyroid function tests etc may help to find out the underlying causes for erectile dysfunction and then treat them accordingly.

Take care. In case of any other query knock me.
