Dr. Anne Truong explains that erectile dysfunction involves six systems: brain, emotion, hormone, nerve, blood vessel, and pelvic floor muscle. Kegels alone won't fix ED if hormonal imbalances or narrowed arteries from hypertension or diabetes are the real problem. All six systems need assessment and treatment.

The hard truth is that kegel alone won't fix your ED. Now I have to tell you something you may not want to hear because I respect you too much to lie to you and to say something that may not help. So even if you do pelvic floor rehab perfectly, kegel alone will not fix your ED because an orgasm is not a muscle event. An orgasm is an orchestra, a coordinated symphony, 6 systems working together in time with no wrong note. Remember we talked about the 6 systems, the GET HARD system, which involves the brain, the emotion, the hormone, the nerve, the blood vessel, and the pelvic floor muscle, which is the pshh muscle. So if your hormones are off, stronger kegel will not fix that. If your pshh arteries are narrow from 20 years of high blood pressure or diabetes, stronger kegel will not rebuild those blood vessels.
