Some treatments for erectile dysfunction only help men manage the problem, instead of actually treating it. New studies are showing that when men choose a biologic treatment, many actually find that the problem has been resolved when the therapy is finished. While some of the studies are still in the preliminary stages and more research does need to be conducted, early findings suggest that biologic treatments can cure erectile dysfunction.
Low voltage shock waves
One biologic treatment that is showing positive results involves the use of low voltage shock waves. When the shock waves are applied directly to the penis, it can cause new blood vessels to grow. This will help improve blood flow to the penis, making it easier for some men to achieve and sustain an erection. This type of treatment can be especially beneficial for men whose erectile dysfunction is caused by a cardiovascular problem. While more research needs to be conducted, early studies have shown promising results.
Walking
Including a 2 mile walk in your daily routine will not only improve your overall health, but it can also help cure your erectile dysfunction. The added exercise can help guys maintain a healthy weight, which in turn can improve your stamina and performance in the bedroom. Men who are physically fit often have higher levels of confidence and self- esteem which can make it easier for them to become and stay aroused. Studies show that men with a waist measuring 32 inches are less likely to develop an erectile dysfunction than those with a 42-inch waist.
Exercise
Research is showing that erectile dysfunction exercises can be an effective treatment. Kegel exercises can strengthen important muscles which help to improve blood flow to the penis. Penile exercises can also help improve ejaculation, along with bladder control. A study conducted in 2005 found that men who combined penile exercises with a healthy lifestyle had a better rate of success in curing their ED than patients who were simply given advice. The same study also found that it is important that the groin area isn't restricted, especially during exercise.
Acupuncture
While some men may be hesitant about needles being placed by their groin area, studies conducted in 1999 found that acupuncture can be an effective biologic treatment for ED. Relieving stress and minor pain can make it easier for men to sustain an erection, and over time repeated sessions can treat the symptoms that could be causing ED. The same studies also reported that 39 percent of the men tested stated that their sex lives had dramatically improved after this therapy.
Herbs
Ginseng that has been steamed and dried has been used as a treatment for erectile dysfunctions for thousands of years, and now studies are suggesting that this root might actually be a safe and effective cure. Known as "red ginseng" due to the color its turns after steaming, research indicates that it can help strengthen a man's erection and improve his ability to perform in the bedroom. The plant does need to grow for at least 5 years before it is effective, and the dosage usually ranges between 600 and 1,000 milligrams taken 3 times a day. This can make it difficult for some men to keep up with the frequent dosing schedule, which might make this an impractical treatment for some ED suffers.
Amino Acid
A naturally occurring amino acid in the body, L-arginine is necessary in order to sustain an erection. The amino acid is responsible for making nitric oxide which helps blood vessels relax. When the vessels are relaxed blood can flow more easily into the penis, so men can get and sustain an erection. In some cases, the levels can be lower in the body, which is why some health care professionals recommend adding the supplement to your daily diet. This treatment is safe, and 31 percent of men who take the amino acid in supplement form state that their sex lives have noticeably improved.
Watermelon Juice
This summer fruit is not only delicious, but it can also be good way to treat some types of erectile dysfunction. The fruit contains citrulline, which is an amino acid that can improve blood flow. Watermelons are a good source for this amino acid that has show to improve the symptoms associate with mild to moderate ED. The amino acid can also be taken in supplement form, which is generally more convenient.
Summary
It should be noted that erectile dysfunction is different for everyone, and not every treatment will work for all men. Health care professionals also warn that even natural supplements can have side effects if mixed with other forms of treatment. The most important factor to consider if you are suffering from ED is that there is nothing to be ashamed off and there are effective biologic treatments available, but before you start any new treatment plan it is important first to speak with your primary health care provider.
