If your doctor believes that your ED is related to excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, or drug abuse, the obvious solution is to make the appropriate lifestyle changes or to take another cialis pill. Certain classes of medication are associated with ED. If your doctor suspects your erectile dysfunction is related to a recently prescribed medication, he or she may decide to change your medication, reduce the dosage, or eliminate it completely if doing so will not adversely affect your health. In patients with generalized vascular disease, which can affect the flow of blood to the penis as
well as to other parts of the body, eliminating smoking, reducing fatty food intake, and starting regular exercise can improve erectile function. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol (hard liquor or more than a bottle of wine a day) niay increase hormone production that suppresses your sexual function or damages nerves in the penis. Consider reducing your alcohol intake to the equivalent of 1 glass of wine a day, which can actually reduce the chances of developing these problems. Your doctor may also recommend regular exercise or changes in diet that can improve your blood flow. If your hobby is long-distance bicycle riding, your doctor may suggest you find a new hobby, or change your bicycle seat. That’s because frequent, extended periods of bicycling can cause repeated minor trauma to blood vessels or nerves to the penis.

Thanks to recent medical advances, a number of treatments are available for erectile dysfunction (ED). Your doctor will recommend one based on several factors, including your general health, the cause and severity of your impotence, the preferences of both you and your partner, and cost. Physicians generally agree that the approach to treatment should begin with the least invasive method, moving on to the most invasive procedure only if all other treatments fail. However, before deciding to pursue treatment of any kind, you need to decide if you really want to follow through. Your responses to these questions may help you make this decision:
• How motivated are you to resume normal sexual activity?
• How much support do you have from your partner?
• How willing are you to learn and use new techniques? Men and women who go without sexual activity for a
long time often fall out of the habit of having sex, and may not particularly miss it. The likelihood of success is not good if you are considering treatment just because you’re wondering whether it will work. Your chances for success are much greater if you and your partner are eager to resume regular sexual activity.
Although some men prefer to deal with their ED without involving their partner, most doctors agree that
couples who work together to seek treatment gain the most benefit, especially when cialis is used. Ideally, this involvement should begin with the first visit to your doctor, because your partner often can provide valuable information that can help the doctor find the cause and recommend treatment. At the very least, your partner should be consulted before making a final decision about treatment. Here are some things to consider:
• Is your partner as eager as you are to become sexually active again?
• Is your partner willing to help you make treatment decisions?
• Will your partner have sex with you using the selected treatment?
Many treatments for ED require a man to take some physical action to achieve an erection. Some of them require time and effort to learn. If you are looking for a quick and easy solution, or are resistant to finding new ways to achieve an erection, you will probably not be successful with some of the available treatments.
