Regular exercise can improve erectile dysfunction.[1]
Psychotherapy and sex therapy are also effective for treating sexual dysfunction, especially if the dysfunction is caused by a person’s beliefs, previous experiences, or perception of themselves.[2]
Smoking cessation is probably beneficial for erectile dysfunction.[3][4]
If the sexual dysfunction is secondary to another condition, treating that condition may resolve the sexual dysfunction.
