Diet, lifestyle, and home remedies may help prevent or treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
While the predominant symptom of ED is failure to achieve an erection, in some cases men can still ejaculate, and achieve orgasm, with ED. ED can only affect fertility in men by preventing sexual intercourse due to the inability to achieve an erection.

Viagra also comes in a 100mg dose (Viagra 100mg) and a 25mg dose (Viagra 25mg), but you need a prescription before you can purchase these variants.
To get started, you’ll discuss your symptoms with your doctor. You’ll have a physical exam to check that your ED isn’t a symptom of an underlying health problem. Depending on what’s causing your ED, your treatment options may include medications, pumps, surgery or implants. Counseling might be another solution, especially if stress or depression is triggering or aggravating your ED.
