Suffering From Erectile Dysfunction. Treatment And Exercises?

Hello...I recently started seeing a fellow that I used to be with some 20 years ago, and now, after 3 lower back surgeries, he is experiencing erectile dysfunction. He is 57 years old and never had this problem before. He says he has only a little feeling in one foot and it always feels cold, even to the touch. I have read that Kegel exercises will improve a man's ability to form an erection, and the natural male enhancement PHGH is quite helpful. When an erection is achieved, he doesn't have a problem with feeling or orgasm, just the actual forming of the erection. What can we do to help our problem? Andare the Kegel exercises performed the same way as a woman would do?

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your friend who has undergone 3 spinal surgeries in last 2 years has problem of erectile dysfunction.

Looking at the sequence and he developing this problem after surgery it is likely that he has developed some neurological deficit after surgery.However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination and few nerve conduction studies by qualified Neurologist.

Please ask him to consult Neurologist for detail evaluation and further treatment.
