Learn to take back your life
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is something that men of all ages can experience. It's not uncommon for men afflicted with ED to feel ashamed and to consider themselves as less manly. The problem with ED is that the second order effects can cause serious problems outside of the bedroom. The stress of dealing with Erectile Dysfunction can, in itself, exacerbate the condition, and it may also contribute to issues such as hypertension and hormonal imbalances.
The following is recommended if you wish to regain control:
Speak With a Medical Professional
If the problem is beyond your ability to control, please seek out the services of a medical professional. A full spectrum test will be able to determine if there's an organic or hormonal component to your ED. In most cases, medications can be an excellent way of alleviating immediate symptoms of ED.
If you have underlying causes, you may be able to catch and reverse them if you don't delay seeking help.
Physical Exercise
One of the most common recommendations doctors have for men with ED is to lose weight (fat, specifically). Merely carrying extra body fat as you approach middle age or later can manifest itself into hormonal imbalances and is often a reflection of declined fitness. Because the penis runs on blood, a decline in cardiovascular fitness will often reflect on erectile abilities.
The lowered hormonal profile of an unfit body will affect emotions and perceptions as well. If you look better, you're likely going to feel better about yourself. Resistance training is excellent for this purpose, and it's great for inducing positive hormonal changes.
In addition to cardiovascular exercise and resistance training, there's also penis stamina specific exercises you can perform, like Erect
Kegels and
Edging.
Diet
Eating a heart healthy diet is also highly recommended for combatting ED. In addition to protein, healthy fats, fiber, and necessary (not excess) carbohydrates, there are specific nutrients and even supplement you may take to improve your penile function.
Having ED does NOT diminish you as a man or as a person! While you may feel betrayed by your body, you can do what's in your power to mitigate and even reverse the course of ED!
Even if there are serious underlying issues, your emotional response will have a huge impact on your health and function. What's not in your power to control isn't worth stressing over, so focusing on what you CAN change will set you on the path to maximum potency.
