Home Remedies to Benefit Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Dr. Supriya Puranik discusses how lifestyle changes and home remedies can help manage Erectile Dysfunction (ED), a condition where the firmness needed for intercourse is reduced, often linked to stress, lifestyle, and night shifts.
Medical Advice
Before starting any home remedies, she advises that one should consult a doctor (Gynecologist, Urologist, or even a Psychiatrist in some cases). The doctor will take a detailed history, perform a physical examination, and recommend blood tests for hormones, with Testosterone being the most important. The doctor will provide professional tips and medication, but these home remedies can be adopted alongside that treatment.
Key Home Remedies
The following are the essential lifestyle changes discussed:
Exercise:
Walk briskly (fast walking) for a continuous 40 minutes daily. It should be continuous, not broken up by rest periods.
Specific Exercises:
Perform exercises that increase blood flow to the pelvic area and strengthen the pelvic muscles. (She mentions this generally without detailing the specific exercises).
Diet:
Focus on a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits, dry fruits, and pulses (lentils/beans) in good quantity.
Consume fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamins which can help with the problem.
Watermelon contains a good amount of L-citrulline, which helps improve blood flow and can assist with erection.
Reduce Body Fat (Obesity):
Excess fat, especially on the abdomen, produces more Estrogen (a female hormone), which in turn reduces Testosterone and negatively affects erection. Reducing body fat through diet and exercise is crucial.
Avoid Smoking and Reduce Alcohol:
Cigarette smoking constricts blood vessels, including the penile blood vessels, reducing blood flow, making ED more likely or worsening existing ED. Smokers should quit completely.
Alcohol may increase the desire for sex but reduces performance/erection. Its consumption should be kept very low.
Mental Health and Sleep:
Ensure good sleep at night and maintain an excellent mental state.
Stress reduces Testosterone levels, so it’s vital to stay stress-free.
The doctor concludes by emphasizing that adopting these home remedies along with medical advice will certainly help manage Erectile Dysfunction.
