The treatment for erectile dysfunction is based on the cause of causes of the problem. For instance, if there are emotional or mental issues affecting a man’s ability to enjoy a healthy sex life, stress reduction and counseling might be recommended. In cases where the problem is related to changes in hormone levels, hormone therapy might be recommended. And if the issue is related to injury or illness or a concrete medical problem, that particular issue will be addressed primarily and then treatment will be enacted for the secondary issue with erectile dysfunction.
