Can erectile dysfunction be cured completely?

Getting and maintaining an erection can seem like a straightforward process when it works out the way you want it to, but many men will experience erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. Can erectile dysfunction be cured?

It can occur at any age, and current statistics suggest that it affects around 50% of men in their 50s, and 60% of men in their 60s.

There’s also evidence that erectile dysfunction is increasing in the west. According to an entry in the Journal of Sexual Medicine published in 2013, which was referenced in Men’s Health and the Huffington Post, one out of every four new erectile dysfunction patients is under 40 years old.

Male sexual arousal is a complex process that involves the brain, hormones, nerves, muscles and blood vessels, not to mention your emotional state! Erectile dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these things, and sometimes it’s difficult to find the exact cause. If you can, however, treating one of these underlying causes could cure your erectile dysfunction.

Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues causes erectile dysfunction. Say, for example, you experience erectile dysfunction after drinking alcohol. You might then go on to experience it again for psychological reasons if you start overthinking how embarrassing it was when it happened the first time.

Can erectile dysfunction be cured, or is it permanent?

The major risk factors for erectile dysfunction are typically physical conditions rather than psychological ones. These include being overweight, consuming too much alcohol or other types of drugs and not getting enough sleep.

In some rare cases, a physical condition might cause irreversible erectile dysfunction, but the good news is that there’s a number of different things you can do to treat erectile dysfunction. When it comes to the physical causes, living a healthier lifestyle would be an obvious way to reverse the problem, and there are plenty of medications available that are safe to use and have about a 60-70% success rate.

What is the best exercise for erectile dysfunction?

Any regular form of exercise that improves your cardiovascular system can help with erectile dysfunction. Around 31-41% of erectile dysfunction sufferers find that exercising and other lifestyle changes stop their erection problems coming back, and 58% solve the problem with counselling and talk therapy.

There’s also evidence that kegels can have benefits for men and not just women. Kegels help to strengthen the bulbocavernosus muscle, which allows the penis to engorge with blood during erection, as well as acting like a pump when you ejaculate. The best method for locating the muscles of the pelvic floor is to stop your stream while urinating. The muscles you use to do this are the ones you exercise with kegels.

To perform a rep of Kegel exercises, squeeze your pelvic floor and hold for five seconds, then relax. Repeat this 10 to 20 times, two or three times a day. It might be even more effective if you try this in different positions, including lying down with your knees up, sitting in a chair, and standing.
