Male impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction, is
the inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual
intercourse, according to the National Kidney and Urological Disease
Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC). Male potency is usually easily remedied
through the use of medication. For people who are uncomfortable with the side
effects of pharmaceuticals and want to try to treat naturally before resorting
to them, fortunately there are natural ways to increase male potency.
Lifestyle
Make healthy lifestyle changes
to increase potency. NKUDIC suggests that the first and least invasive way to
treat erectile dysfunction is to quit smoking, lose weight and adopt a healthy
exercise routine. Sometimes these changes are enough to solve the problem.
Anxiety
Find ways to reduce your
anxiety levels which can contribute to erectile dysfunction, according to the
Ohio State University Medical Center. Try relaxation breathing, massage from
your partner, yoga or meditation as natural ways to improve potency by
relieving anxiety.
Psychotherapy
See a therapist to discuss any
emotional or psychological issues that may be causing performance anxiety. This
can help you feel more confident in your abilities and help you realize that
you are normal. The therapist can help you determine if you are having
relationship issues that are leading to impotence problems and help you find
ways to solve them.
Constriction Rings
Consider a constriction ring
if you can sufficiently obtain an erection but have trouble keeping it. The
constriction ring is placed at the base of the penis and will keep blood from
flowing out of the penis after an erection is achieved, helping it last longer.
