A Healthy Mind & Body for Healthy Erections

We hope that by now, the reader will have been convinced that a man’s lifestyle is at the heart of his erection issues. Unfortunately, many doctors and clinics focus only on treating the symptom (weak erections) rather than also addressing the root cause, which is usually a medical problem (endothelium dysfunction or low testosterone for example) exacerbated by poor lifestyle. In this context, by lifestyle we mainly mean:

· Diet;

· Exercise;

· Sleep;

· Smoking, Excess Alcohol, Recreational Drugs; and

· Stress.

Addressing these lifestyle factors will not only improve your overall health and appearance but our belief is that your erection issues can be reverse or at least halt the progress of ED, your testosterone levels can go up and your overall sexual function significantly ameliorated.

This point cannot be stressed enough and we believe that lifestyle counselling should be at the core of any ED treatment. This is why at as part of your treatment plan, we will also provide you with all the necessary support to improve your lifestyle.

If you are suffering from ED then the best thing you can do for yourself is to evaluate whether your lifestyle contributes to your erections issues (for the vast majority of men it does) and do something about it. It can literally save your life!

Beyond lifestyle, psycho-sexual counselling has also an important role to play in the treatment of ED.

Erectile dysfunction in most men is multi-factorial and the result of ongoing interacting relations among biological, cognitive, emotional and behavioural, contextual, and interpersonal contributing factors.

Consequently, psycho-sexual counselling can work in conjunction with other treatment options in order to improve a patient’s sexual function.
