Home treatment of erection problems
In some cases you can treat occasional episodes of erection problems (erectile dysfunction) at home, without a health professional’s help. However, involve your partner in the process, and don’t be embarrassed about seeking professional help if erection problems are consistent and troublesome. You may be able to help yourself by:
- Changing lifestyle factors that may affect erections. These factors include alcohol, smoking, and using illegal drugs.
- Examining your relationships and life events.
- Talking with your partner.
- Trying sensual exercises with your partner.
Some men may try methods available in health food stores or through magazine advertisements. Most of these methods have never been medically proven to work, may be unsafe, and are often expensive. They are not recommended.
