Are there treatments available for erectile dysfunction?

Yes, several treatment options exist for erectile dysfunction. These may involve medications, therapy, lifestyle modifications or in some cases, surgical intervention. The treatment approach depends on the specific cause of the condition.

Does erectile dysfunction naturally come with ageing?

While erectile dysfunction becomes more common with age, it is not an inevitable part of the ageing process. Many men remain sexually active well into their older years, and age-related ED can often be managed effectively with appropriate treatment.

Can changing lifestyle habits improve erectile dysfunction?

Yes, adopting healthier lifestyle habits can have a positive impact on erectile function. Stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and managing stress can all contribute to reducing the risk of ED.
