If stress, anxiety, or other emotional issues are causing the condition, counseling may help. Some men experience erectile dysfunction because of past experiences that cause a lack of self-esteem, fear, or guilt, and counseling can help you overcome those negative feelings. Couple counseling can also help improve mutual understanding and acceptance in a relationship, allowing you to feel more comfortable during intimacy.

In a 2014 pilot study, 31 men between the ages of 20 and 55 years old, who were newly diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, received either tadalafil (a medication used to treat impotence) for a five-month period or tadalafil and an eight-week stress management program. Both groups showed statistical significant improvement, but researchers found that the men practicing stress management showed a significant reduction in perceived stress scores and lower daily cortisol levels compared to the men who only received medication.

The link between cycling and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been hotly debated for a number of years. Aside from ED, concerns...
Penile implant surgery can be very effective, provided that precautions are taken to avoid infection. Prosthesis surgery is contraindicated if systemic cutaneous or urinary infection is present. Antibiotics should be provided pre-operatively, and the surgical site should be shaved immediately prior to surgery. We use both Mentor and AMS penile implants with specialized antibiotic coats. Patients are hospitalized overnight for closed suction drainage, and sent home on seven days of post-operative antibiotics. Using these and other precautions, our implant infection rate is comparable to national averages (2-4%, 1-2% for antibiotic coated implants). Vascular surgery is recommended only in healthy individuals with recently acquired erectile dysfunction due to a focal arterial narrowing (usually related to trauma) and in the absence of generalized vascular disease.

When too much sugar is present in the blood as it is with those with poor diets, this increase in concentration can damage nerves and blood vessels--the same nerves and blood vessels responsible for a normal erection. This increased sugar concentration in the blood provides a poor environment for nerve activity, resulting in poor signaling and less activated nerves to supply blood and girth.
Erectile dysfunction can occur as a side effect of medication taken for another health condition. Common culprits are high blood pressure meds, antidepressants, some diuretics, beta-blockers, heart medication, cholesterol meds, antipsychotic drugs, hormone drugs, corticosteroids, chemotherapy, and medication for male pattern baldness, among others.
Testosterone replacement in patients with hypogonadism remains controversial. A double-blind placebo controlled study using long-acting testosterone undeconate and involving seven UK general practices showed small changes in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (reduced from 7.61% to 7.52%) over 30 weeks but marked changes after a further 22 weeks (down from 8.3% to 7.3%). Mean weight loss was 2 kg with a 1.5 cm reduction in waist circumference.9 There was no significant increase in mean PSA and mean haematocrit was unchanged. Another meta-analysis showed significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, fat mass and triglycerides, but no significant change in total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure or BMI.10
