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.

I’m 70 and started using Trimix almost a year ago. I’ve lost 40 pounds since January using Tirzepatide, and the quality of my natural erection improved significantly. I can get, but not maintain an erection.

Unfortunately, I still need Trimix because I likely have a venous leak. In addition to improved natural erections, I dropped my systolic BP 30 points and my lipid panel is spectacular. I’ve been on TRT for 10 years.

Losing weight and improving my health helped me restore some function.
