A Guide to Preventing and Treating Erectile Dysfunction

With so much inaccurate information about erectile dysfunction (ED) out there, it’s good to develop a system that will allow you to separate the myths from the facts. One such myth is that ED is neither preventable nor treatable; that it should just be accepted as a natural part aging. For those who have not given up, those who want to go out with a bang (pun intended), here are some tips to prevent and treat ED.

PREVENTION

Eat right.

Really, it’s quite simple. If it’s bad for your heart, it’s going to hurt your ability to get it up. So much depends on blood flow, that if your arteries are blocked, there won’t be enough blood to flow to and within the parts that need it (read: your penis). A diet that’s rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, nuts, and olive oil is highly recommended by sexual medicine experts.

Drink moderately.

Drinking per se will is not bad for erectile dysfunction.

But if you’re a longtime heavy drinker, consider what liver or nerve damage can do for your sexual health. You may also want to think about the implications of consuming alcohol while you’re on a Viagra/Cialis/Levitra regimen. Aside from increasing some of the side effects associated with PDE-5 inhibitors, alcohol has a blood thinning effect, which can lead to excessive bleeding. Just remember that it’s never a good idea to mix the two.

TREATMENT

Generic Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra*

As mentioned, Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra belong to a class of drugs known as PDE-5 inhibitors. They work by a similar mechanism to produce erections, which means these medications also have the same drug profiles. Needless to say, it’s always a good idea to research the drugs you are/will be taking. You wouldn’t want to experience any adverse reactions such as extreme headache and chest pain. Just remember: safety comes first!

*These drugs are best purchased from an online pharmacy (no prescription) so you can buy them cheap and save money in the process.
