You can take safe & effective medications for erectile dysfunction.

The common ones available include sildenafil, tadalafil, & vardenafil.

But you MUST see your doctor to check you before & when taking these meds coz there have contraindications & possible side effects!

2
Check your Lifestyle. Ask yourself:

Am I healthy generally?
Am I eating healthy?
Am I taking enough rest?
Am I exercising regularly (esp aerobics)?

If you have erectile dysfunction, fixing these 4 aspects of your life can bring back the spark to your erection.

3
Have enough foreplay before sex.

Poor erection can be just psychological. It's not standing coz your head isn't in the game, you're stressed or distracted.

So calm down. Spend at least 15 to 20 mins on foreplay before the real sex.

This could be your game changer.

4
You need to open your mouth & talk about your sexual likes, dislikes & fantasies, with your partner.

This will help them know what you want & adjust accordingly, which in turn, can be the solution to your erection issues.

Such open communication can be priceless.

5
Remember, smoking can damage your blood vessel, causing defective erection.

Smoking can also harm your sperm in such a way that fertilization becomes difficult.

If you have erectile dysfunction, stop smoking, stop smoking & stop smoking.

We can't stress this enough.

6
Alcohol might cause weak erection, premature ejaculation, low sperm count & unsustained erections.

Reducing your alcohol intake alone can go a long way in solving your erection challenges.

7
Very importantly, treat other medical conditions.

Diabetes, STI's & other medical conditions could be the underlying cause of your inability to achieve good erection.

Treating these diseases could automatically bounce back your sexual stamina.

8
A penile #implant is a device put into a man’s penis to help him get erection.

Once fixed, it can be used at any time. No waste of time.

Implants are effective esp for men suffering from erectile dysfunction that hasn't been resolved by other available treatment options.

Other methods like injection of certain drugs into the penis & vascular reconstructive surgeries, may be beneficial in some cases too.

But the important thing is that treatment usually depends on the underlying cause.

Remember, a normal erection should;

- be strong
- happen when needed, &
- last from few minutes to about half an hour (enough for satisfying sex)

Anything short of that could be erectile dysfunction.

Doctors are always there to help. Talk to them about your erectile problems. They'll find the best solution that fits you.

There's no one remedy for all people, coz the cause of weak erection in one person might differ from another.

But doctors are trained to handle this.

Sex is undeniably a very significant part of most relationships, especially marriages.

But erectile dysfunction has ruined many relationships. Do your best to fight it.
