Can erectile dysfunction be prevented or avoided

Condition analysis:
Whether you’ll be able to prevent ED depends on what is causing it. Here are some things you can do that may help prevent ED.

-- Avoid drinking too much alcohol, smoking, or abusing drugs.

-- Try to avoid feeling stressed.

Stick to a Sleep Schedule: Poor sleep patterns can be a contributing factor for erectile dysfunction. One study, published in Brain Research in 2011, explored the impact of sleep loss on testosterone levels in men, confirming that low concentrations of sex hormones are associated with sexual dysfunction. Hormone secretion is controlled by the body’s internal clock, and sleep patterns help the body determine when to release certain hormones.

Adhering to a set sleep schedule is a natural treatment for ED in that it can help ensure that those signals are clear and consistent.
