Regaining the ability to get "I can't get rock hard anymore" or achieving strong, reliable erections is possible with a combination of lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and addressing any underlying health issues. The first step is to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if your erectile dysfunction (ED) is ongoing or worsening. ED can be a sign of an underlying condition, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or low testosterone, which may need to be addressed medically. A doctor can help determine whether your ED is due to a physical or psychological issue, or a combination of both. There are other treatment options, such as injectable medications or urethral suppositories, that can help enhance erectile function in some men. These exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and can improve the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. To perform Kegels, contract and hold the muscles you use to stop urination for 5-10 seconds, then release. Repeat 10-15 times. Smoking damages blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the penis, leading to ED. Quitting smoking can significantly improve circulation and sexual function over time. Chronic stress and anxiety are major contributors to ED. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to manage stress and improve mental well-being. Being overweight or obese can affect hormone levels, circulation, and overall energy, which can impair erectile function. Losing weight through a combination of diet and exercise can improve your ability to get and maintain an erection.
