Inability to maintain an erection

Hello Bob,

Acupuncture both with and without the use of auricular points is often helpful for erectile dysfunction. This is one of those cases, however, where there are so many possible causes that a simple protocol is not available. You should see a licensed acupuncturist in your area and obtain a complete Chinese Medicine diagnosis.

Erectile dysfunction can arise from psychological issues, circulatory problems, and more serious conditions such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes. The treatments, then, are developed based on your individual signs and symptoms - as with most Chinese Medicine treatments.

As I said, ED usually responds well to acupuncture treatment, but the diagnosis and treatment plan requires professional evaluation.
