How Do I Know What Treatment To Use?

First find out exactly what ‘risks’ or ‘causes’ you possibly posses in connection with erectile dysfunction. For example, are you overweight, do you drink, smoke, or have an unhealthy diet? List down all  your risks or possible problems that could cause Erectile Dysfunction in your person. Make the list as extensive as possible – you’ll wither this down later on.

 Here are some questions to answer:

  • How many times did the erectile dysfunction occur?
  • Can I get an impressive erection during masturbation?
  •  Does ED kick in only during actual sex with my significant other?
  • What happened before or during the ED problem? Am I stressed, tired, or anxious for hours leading to the intimacy?
  • How old am I? Men between the ages of 40 to 70 usually have ED due to health issues while those below 40 years of age could suffer from psychological causes of ED.

There are instances when the ED is a one-off thing and possibly triggered by conditions that can be easily addressed in just a few days. For example, if you’re heavily stressed from work during the entire week, it’s not surprising if you suffer from Erectile Dysfunction come Friday night. This should not be a cause for concern unless you find yourself well-rested.

Start Eliminating

 Once you’re done creating a list of the ‘possible’ health issues you have relating to ED, it’s time to eliminate the ones that are unlikely.

Diabetes

Check your blood sugar on a routine basis for one week. If your readings indicate that you’re diabetic, switch to a diabetes-friendly lifestyle as soon as possible.

High Blood Pressure

While checking out whether you’re a diabetic or not, it’s best to also take this time and find out if you have high blood pressure. This should be easy enough with the help of a blood pressure monitor.

Heart Problems

Have your heart checked by your primary care physician to see if there are any cholesterol issues to deal with. Since Erectile Dysfunction is an early warning sign of heart problems, you’ll be able to solve the problem before it becomes worse.

 Overweight or Obesity

BMI(the body mass index) is the best indicator whether you’re overweight or obese. The Body Mass Index is available online and only requires the following information: your age, height, gender, and weight. Through calculations, you should be able to figure out the spectrum in which you fall in.

Undergo a Doctor’s Diagnosis

As already mentioned, a doctor is likely to submit you through a barrage of tests to determine the probable cause of ED. Be prepared to undergo some of the following:

Physical Exam

This involves careful examination of the organs in question to see if there are any gaps in your ability to feel sensations.

 Blood Flow Checks

 An erection is often stimulated during the exam with the help of some medication. The penis is submitted to an ultrasound afterwards to see if blood is properly flowing through all the vessels running in the shaft.

Urine and Blood Tests

These are most likely used to check if there are underlying conditions contributing to ED. Most of the time, these two tests are used to determine presence of diabetes or low levels of testosterone in the body.

Overnight Erection

 Test Many men have involuntary erections in sleep and this is completely normal. Doctors may require you to sleep in the hospital and have a machine wrapped around the penis. This measures any erection at night, the hardness of such erection as well as the strength.

Psychological Exam

Lastly, doctors may submit you through a psychological exam to find out whether you suffer from depression or any other mood disorders that could influence ED.

When Should You Go to a Doctor?

 Embarrassment should not get in the way of you getting treatment for erectile dysfunction. Of course, it’s not always necessary to go to the doctor as soon as possible. In some instances, it’s perfectly possible for you to address the problem all on your own, especially in situations when the ED is not that prevalent yet or it comes and goes, depending on the situation.

 As a general rule, you should have a doctor for your ED when the condition starts to negatively impact your sex life. The first and foremost treatment used should NOT be Viagra but rather, a healthy diet and exercise.

Cooperate with your doctor fully to find out the exact cause of ED prior to treatment. If you are in a relationship, make sure your significant other finds out about the condition so that you two could talk about different options together.
