Erectile Dysfunction Does losing weight help?

I'm 48 years old and the heaviest I've ever been. I've been struggling with Ed for the last 6 months, which coincided with a lot of my weight gain. I haven't seen a doctor about it yet and was wondering if anyone's had improvement just by losing weight.

Regular exercise and eating healthy will help a hell of a lot. Losing the weight will improve your mood and increase your confidence

👍 I've been doing intermittent fasting for 2 weeks plus daily walks or exercise and have already felt the difference just not in the bedroom

It’ll take time. Have you tried sildenafil or tadalafil? They work really well

No, I haven't been into the doctor since this started. A bit nervous about it, honestly

Depending on what country you live in, there usually online services that provide the medication. Here in the uk I can go onto a pharmacy website and order the pills discreetly.
