There is probably no need to worry if you occasionally have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. Several factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction, including mood, stress, and fatigue. Additionally, the older a man gets, the more likely he is to have difficulty maintaining an erection. If you are consistently unable to do so, it can be a problem. The same goes for erections. Remember that you are not a machine and that erections are better than others, just as some days are.

Is Weight a Factor in Erectile Dysfunction?

It's important to improve your overall health by losing weight, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and seeing your doctor for regular checkups to identify any abnormalities that can help prevent the problem.

 

Can smoking cause ED?

Many health problems can be caused by smoking, including erectile dysfunction. A smoker's blood vessels can be damaged and blood flow restricted, contributing to the development of ED.

 

Can you get tested for erectile dysfunction?

Although there is no specific test for ED, men may be able to have genital (penile and testicular) tests to determine if they have it. You may also be asked to submit your blood pressure, heart rate, and a family history questionnaire. Depending on your age, your doctor may also perform a rectal exam to determine the health of your prostate.

The following advanced tests are recommended to treat erectile dysfunction:

  • Tests to determine male hormone and blood sugar levels
  • Ultrasound blood flow check
  • To induce an erection, a vascular stimulant is injected directly into the penis
  • Pelvic X-ray
  • The nocturnal penile tumescence test (NPT) is a nighttime test that identifies erections during sleep.

It is usually possible to treat erectile dysfunction with either medication or surgery. By treating the underlying causes and making lifestyle changes, you may also be able to reverse symptoms, or you may choose to take medications such as sildenafil or tadalafil. Counseling and psychological therapy are effective treatments for the psychological and emotional causes of erectile dysfunction.

How can exercise help improve erectile dysfunction?

Individuals suffering from ED benefit greatly from Kegel exercises, or exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles maintain blood flow to the penis by applying pressure to the penile veins. Maintaining pressure in the penis prevents blood from leaving the area, thus maintaining an erection.

To help you manage your ED at home, here are some exercises you can try:

  • Pelvic floor muscle activation: While lying down, bend your knees, place your arms at your sides, and keep your feet flat on the floor. You should contract the pelvic floor muscles for three seconds, take a deep breath, and then relax them again.
  • Sitting pelvic floor activation: You should sit with your arms at your sides and your feet flat on the floor. Be careful not to contract your glutes, abdominals, or leg muscles when using the same technique as above.
  • Standing pelvic floor activation: Your arms should be at your sides while you stand upright. Use the same technique in the same way as before.

 

Final words

Even if you don't have erectile dysfunction, it's a good idea to stay physically fit. Make sure to stay active and monitor your diet to maintain a satisfying sex life throughout your life.
