The Story

Given how common erectile dysfunction is, and how motivated guys are to resolve it, it’s no surprise that there are lots of different methods promoted as potential ED cures.

But which ones actually work best?

That’s the question that the Between Us Clinic asked recently, when it surveyed several dozen urologists on the best alternative ED cures out there.

The Snapshot

Given that urologists are the people you go to when you have erectile issues, they’re some of the best-placed people in the world to answer this question.

And while each one may have a different opinion on the matter, surveying a group of them can help clarify trends in how they think that can be useful to you, the reader.

The survey asked 33 urologists their opinions on seven different alternative ED cures, asking them to choose either “Recommend,” “Don’t recommend” or “It depends” for each option.

While they may sound excitingly scientific, stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy scored lowest, with each gaining a Yes response from just 10% of the surveyed doctors. On the flip side, mindfulness meditation and diet and exercise came in with the highest scores, at 88% and 97% respectively.

The Lesson

While erectile dysfunction (or difficulties) is far from the end of the world, it’s certainly no picnic.

If it’s happening to you, you’re probably already wondering how to resolve it. And while you may feel called to expensive or high-tech options, this survey suggests that urologists know how much one’s overall health — mental and physical — can play a role in erectile function.

So while it’s a good idea to visit a doctor to talk about your erectile difficulties if they do occur, keep in mind that for many guys, the best solutions will be holistic health ones that will enable them to achieve better blood flow and to enter into the relaxed parasympathetic mode that’s conducive to achieving erections.
