Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Erectile dysfunction, it is due to decreased blood supply to the penis. And medications like Cialis & Viagra increase blood flow to penis & maintains erection. It can also be improved by having a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey. Avoid stress...practice meditation..this helps in improving concentration & builds up the confidence level. Avoid smoking & alcohol. You can also do oil massage of the penis...it increases blood flow & maintains the erection. Despite these measures, if you experience difficulty, it will be better to rule out other causes like high blood pressure, blood sugar and other local causes that impair blood flow to the genital organ. Thank you
