Treatment for ED may depend on the underlying cause and can include a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes. Medications such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or vardenafil (Levitra) may be prescribed to improve blood flow to the penis and help achieve an erection. Therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or couples therapy, can help to address psychological factors contributing to ED.
