Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, ED can often be cured permanently, especially when caused by lifestyle factors, stress, or mild physical conditions. Our holistic approach addresses root causes rather than just symptoms. Many patients achieve lasting results through Ayurvedic treatment, lifestyle changes, and addressing psychological factors. However, ED related to severe vascular disease or nerve damage may require ongoing management. The key is early intervention and consistent adherence to treatment protocols.
Ayurvedic treatment for ED is very safe when administered by qualified practitioners. Unlike synthetic medications that may cause side effects like headaches, flushing, or vision changes, Ayurvedic herbs work naturally with the body. Our formulations use authentic, quality-tested herbs with minimal side effects. Additionally, Ayurveda improves overall health while treating ED. However, we conduct thorough health assessments to ensure treatments are appropriate for your specific condition and don't interact with existing medications.
Treatment timelines vary based on the underlying cause and severity. Modern ED medications work within 30-60 minutes but require repeated use. Ayurvedic treatments take longer to show effects but provide lasting results. Most patients notice improvements within 2-4 weeks, with significant benefits by 8-12 weeks. Psychogenic ED may improve faster with counseling. Our doctors provide realistic timelines during consultation based on your specific situation. Consistency with treatment and lifestyle changes is crucial for optimal results.
While ED becomes more common with age, it can affect men at any age. About 40% of men experience some degree of ED by age 40, increasing to about 70% by age 70. However, we're seeing increasing cases in younger men (20s-30s) due to stress, lifestyle factors, excessive pornography use, and performance anxiety. ED is not an inevitable part of aging – it's treatable at any age. Young men often respond very well to counseling and lifestyle changes, while older men may need additional interventions.
Yes, ED can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease. The blood vessels in the penis are smaller than those in the heart, so they may show blockage symptoms first. If you have ED, especially with no clear psychological cause, it's important to get cardiovascular screening. We conduct comprehensive evaluations including blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar tests. Treating ED may help prevent future heart problems. This is another reason why proper diagnosis is crucial – ED treatment could literally save your life.
