ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Erectile dysfunction is estimated to affect over 40% of men at some stage. It will commonly involve depression, lack of self-confidence, and feelings of inadequacy. It can affect personal relationships and also work life. Social taboos may stop men from seeking help.

Traditional Chinese medicine may look at issues at issues such as ongoing illness, stress, lifestyle, obesity, emotions, and dysfunctional relationships. With acupuncture treatment, the aim is often to channel sexual desire, promoting the ability to both gain and maintain an erection, while also building the patient’s confidence in his own abilities. As with other issues, the acupuncturist will approach erectile dysfunction from both a physical and emotional perspective.
