Will losing weight help my erectile dysfunction?
Losing weight can help improve erectile dysfunction in men who are overweight or obese. Studies show that weight loss leads to better erectile function scores compared to no weight loss. In some cases, around one-third of obese men regained normal erectile function after sustained weight loss.
Key points:
- Weight loss improves erectile function in overweight or obese men.
- Even small amounts of weight loss protect against worsening erectile function.
- Greater weight loss does not always lead to proportionally greater improvements.
- Obesity is linked to erectile dysfunction through physical factors.
