ED Treatment Options Explained

Treatment options range widely, and the right starting point depends on the likely cause and how significantly it's affecting you.

Lifestyle changes

Exercise, quitting smoking, moderating alcohol, weight management, and stress reduction all have real, evidence-supported effects, especially for milder or situational cases.

Prescription options

Well-established oral medications work for the majority of men and are commonly prescribed via telehealth after a brief evaluation.

Addressing underlying conditions

When ED is linked to a condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, treating that underlying condition often improves symptoms directly, alongside any ED-specific treatment.
