Lifestyle Changes as a Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
For some men, making a few healthy lifestyle changes may be all the treatment needed for ED. Things that may help men regain their sexual function include:
- Quitting smoking
- Losing excess weight
- Increasing physical activity.
Cutting back on any drugs with harmful side effects is the next treatment considered for erectile dysfunction. For example, drugs for high blood pressure work in different ways. If you think a particular drug is causing erectile dysfunction, tell your doctor and ask whether you can try a different class of blood pressure medicine.
