Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Erectile Dysfunction is one of the most common s.e.xual dysfunction, however it is important to understand that there are numerous ways to treat and manage the concerns that it brings along.

1 KEGEL EXERCISE - Kegel exercises help in strengthening the pelvic area muscles. Effective with early erectile dysfunction, pausing while urinating midstream is an effective way to focus your control on the pelvic muscles responsible for erection as well.

2 PSYCHOTHERAPY - A mental health professional specialising in sexual health concerns, allows you to navigate through your s.exual health issues, they help identify & eliminate resistance to medical treatment, reduce performance anxiety and improve the sexual script between the partners.

3 HORMONE THERAPY - Involves use of supplemental hormones to rebalance natural hormone levels. Testosterone is instrumental to sexual drive and arousal, thus customised hormone therapy with certain lifestyle changes can restore natural erection.

4 VACUUM ERECTION DEVICE - A non-invasive method, where an external pump is placed on the penis of the individual and the vacuum allows the penis to fill with blood, allowing the erection to occur.

5 PENILE IMPLANT - A penile implant is surgically placed inside the penis of the individual that can be manually controlled to obtain erection, depending upon the type of implant which can be inflatable or non inflatable.

Sexual dysfunctions might cause an inability in us but patience and the right line of treatment can prevent it from becoming a disability.
