Adding pelvic floor exercises, or kegel exercises as they are more commonly called, can help to improve erectile dysfunction. To do this, you need to locate your pelvic floor muscles, which can be done by stopping your urination stream midway. When you hold in the urine, you are engaging the right muscles. Contracting these muscles when you aren’t urinating will increase their strength. Contract, hold it for five–10 seconds and then relax. Repeat this about 10 times at least once daily.

The pathogenesis of organic ED is related to dysfunction of the endothelium. Endothelial cells can become injured through a variety of mechanisms, most of which cause oxidative stress on the tissues. Many of these causes of oxidative stress are related to lifestyle issues which lead to hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia (figure 1). Endothelial cell dysfunction results in reduction of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation as well as increased adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium. Endothelial cell injury then leads to a variety of sequelae, including ED, other types of vasoconstriction, atherosclerosis and thrombus formation.18
