Are There Any Vitamins Supplements That Treat Erectile Dysfunction?
Question: Are there vitamins that can help erectile dysfunction? Is there anything other than Cialis or Viagra type meds?
Brief Answer:
Important to rule out the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Erectile dysfunction has its cause. If we can find it and treat it, it is considered as the best cure.
Most common cause are two:
1. Psychogenic.
2. Diabetes.
So, first of all let me know following:
1. Since when are you facing the problem?
2. Any history of diabetes or Hypertension?
3. At age of 62, I suppose you must have completed your family. So, was this problem earlier also?
4. Do you get spontaneous morning erections like whenever you get up in morning do you notice erection? (Not every time but yes frequently).
As far as multivitamins are concerned, Methylcobalamine helps to some extent in case a person has this problem due to Diabetic Neuropathy.
As far as Cilias or Viagra are concerned, they can be used once in a while in low doses. But should be used if you have no cardiac issues. They do help in achieving erection specially if that is psychogenic.
Stay Healthy.
