Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) and other male sexual health disorders are common but can often be effectively managed through various treatment approaches. This paper explores the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of ED, premature ejaculation, low libido, and related conditions. ED can result from physical, psychological, or lifestyle factors, including diabetes, hypertension, stress, anxiety, and poor lifestyle habits. Conventional treatments include medications such as PDE5 inhibitors, testosterone therapy, psychological counseling, and lifestyle modifications.
Additionally, homeopathy provides natural remedies targeting ED and other male sexual issues, aiming to restore overall well-being and sexual function. Remedies such as Agnus Castus, Lycopodium, Nux Vomica, and Selenium are frequently used in homeopathic practice. The study also highlights the importance of lifestyle changes, including regular exercise, stress management, and a balanced diet, in improving sexual health. This research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of ED and its holistic management through homeopathic and conventional medical approaches.
