Erectile dysfunction is mainly due to 2 physiological processes. The first is low levels of nitric oxide in the blood and the second is mainly due to glucose mediated nerve damage. The former is due to aging while the latter is due to diabetes mainly. While nothing can be done for nerve damage there’s a considerable amount that can be done to correct low levels of nitric oxide in the blood. Some of the common prescriptions for erectile dysfunction are designed to increase bloodflow which will push the blood against the blood vessel walls of the body and actually helped create more levels of nitric oxide. The problem is is that many men have such low levels of nitric oxide in their bodies that common drugs such as Viagra and Celebrex are not effective. In the Treasure Coast Community Acupuncture clinic we have a program that involves acupuncture supplements which increase nitric oxide levels in the blood and Chinese herbal formulas that can increase a man’s libido.
