Erectile dysfunction is often treated with prescription medications like Cialis, but men can do more than just take a pill to improve their sex life.<\/p>\n

Physicians say that lifestyle changes like eating right and exercising can dramatically improve a man’s libido and lessen erectile dysfunction symptoms. In addition, some men also use massage therapy to treat the problem.<\/p>\n

How It Helps<\/h3>\n

Before medications were the go-to treatment for ED, many men relied on massage to treat the condition. A prostatic massage includes massaging the muscles around the groin area.<\/p>\n

Studies are limited, but those completed do show promise.<\/p>\n

Massage therapy is thought to help men with ED by clearing the prostatic duct and relaxing muscles. It also breaks up fluids that may otherwise accumulate and also helps prevent infections.<\/p>\n

Finding a Therapist<\/h3>\n

A general massage therapist won’t have the knowledge you need. You should look for a massage therapist who specializes in prostatic massage. Ask for a referral from your urologist or primary care physician.<\/p>\n

Research the therapist online to make sure he or she is legitimate and has good, professional reviews.<\/p>\n

You should also call your insurance company to see if this kind of therapy is covered. Most insurance companies don’t cover it, but if they do, you’ll want a list of those therapists that meet your insurer’s coverage criteria.<\/p>\n

Multiple Treatments at Once<\/h3>\n

Some men use massage therapy as a complementary treatment to medication. It’s something you should discuss with your doctor to make sure you’re getting the best treatment available.<\/p>\n

If you make lifestyle changes, get a prescription for an ED medication like Cialis, and schedule massage therapy, you’ll have a well-rounded plan to overcome a condition that plagues millions of men.<\/p>\n
