If lifestyle changes like diet and exercise haven’t improved ED after a reasonable period, talk to your physician. They can explore other contributing factors and treatment options.
Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor about potential side effects of any ED treatment. Informed decision-making is paramount for your well-being.
