Eating a balanced diet helps improve male physiology (illustrative photo).

Dr. Vu Thi Thanh Thuy, Department of Andrology, 108 Central Military Hospital answered:

Erectile dysfunction is one of the most worrying problems for men. The disease not only makes the relationship between husband and wife cold but also affects psychology and health.

To effectively treat this condition, it is necessary to combine many methods, in which nutrition is also a very important factor in supporting the improvement of the disease. Therefore, instead of meals that fill the stomach, patients should use selected foods to help optimize the body's physiological capacity.

This not only helps to solve physiological problems in men but also helps to increase overall vitality, preventing possible diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure...

Nutritional regimen for people with weak physiology should remember the following principles: Increase foods rich in vitamins and minerals and foods rich in calcium; Should eat lots of green vegetables and fruits, vegetables and fruits are especially good for male physiology; Should provide enough protein for the body: 1g/1kg of body weight per day; Drink 2-3 liters of water/day.

People with erectile dysfunction should avoid fried foods, foods high in fat, and foods high in insoluble fat, which can cause overweight, obesity, and many dangerous diseases caused by atherosclerosis, which hinder blood circulation and lead to erectile dysfunction. In addition, testosterone levels in the blood also decrease.

Patients should limit foods that are too salty, too sweet, or spicy; stay away from stimulants, alcohol, and tobacco; and minimize offal dishes...

Treatment of erectile dysfunction depends on the time of illness, the patient’s health and the individual’s constitution. Therefore, the sooner the disease is detected when it is mild, the higher your chances of being cured.

Most importantly, during treatment, you need to avoid foods that cause male impotence.
