The Story Given how common erectile dysfunction is, and how motivated guys are to resolve it, it’s no surprise that there are lots of different methods promoted as potential ED cures. But which ones actually work best? That’s the question that the Between Us Clinic asked recently, when it surveyed several dozen urologists on the best alternative ED cures out there.

The survey asked 33 urologists their opinions on seven different alternative ED cures, asking them to choose either “Recommend,” “Don’t recommend” or “It depends” for each option. While they may sound excitingly scientific, stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy scored lowest, with each gaining a Yes response from just 10% of the surveyed doctors. On the flip side, mindfulness meditation and diet and exercise came in with the highest scores, at 88% and 97% respectively. The Lesson While erectile dysfunction (or difficulties) is far from the end of the world, it’s certainly no picnic. If it’s happening to you, you’re probably already wondering how to resolve it. And while you may feel called to expensive or high-tech options, this survey suggests that urologists know how much one’s overall health — mental and physical — can play a role in erectile function.
