Pelvic floor exercises can help some men with erectile dysfunction, especially when weak pelvic floor muscles are contributing to reduced erection firmness or difficulty maintaining an erection. These exercises are most effective when the correct pelvic floor muscles are trained with the right technique, dosage and progression.
Important: If you have sudden onset erectile dysfunction, worsening symptoms, pain, pelvic floor tension, heart disease risk factors, diabetes, medication changes or other health concerns, please consult your doctor. Erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of other health problems. Pelvic floor exercises for ED are best used as part of a broader evidence-based treatment approach.
