How do I know which option is best for me?
When your doctor makes recommendations for treating ED, consider:
- What you're most comfortable with (based on what you expect)
- What you think will work best for you and your partner (they're involved too!)
No matter which option you choose, you'll probably find that treating ED can make a world of difference in how you feel about yourself and how you connect with your partner. But you also have to be realistic:
- Treating ED will not increase libido. If you think libido is playing a part in your ED, mention it to your doctor so it can be properly treated.
- The treatment option you choose might not work the first time or every time.
- People are different. What works best for you might not work for someone else and your dose may be different than someone else's.
- Successful treatment of your ED will not fix a broken relationship.
Exactly what is libido?
Libido can play a role in ED treatment to succeed, but it's a term that is sometimes misunderstood. Libido is conscious or unconscious sexual desire.
