At the age of 63, with a history of heart disease and previous valve replacements, Ayurvedic treatment should be approached with caution. First, it's important to remember that your heart health is of paramount importance. Addressing erectile dysfunction (ED) with Ayurveda involves understanding your unique dosha constitution and ensuring there's no worsening of heart conditions.
Given the history of heart issues, it's advisable to consult with your cardiologist before introducing any new regimen or herbal supplement. Heart conditions can be complex, and certain treatments may interfere with medications you're currently taking.
From an Ayurvedic standpoint, erectile dysfunction can often be linked to imbalances in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and nerve function in the body. Additionally, a weakened agni, or digestive fire, might contribute by affecting overall vitality and energy levels.
Emphasizing a balanced diet is crucial. Incorporate warming and nourishing foods such as cooked vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your meals. Avoid excessive raw foods, as well as overly spicy or processed foods. Ghee (clarified butter) and sesame oil can be beneficial for their lubricating and nurturing qualities.
Regular physical activity is essential; gentle walks, yoga, and breathing exercises can help boost circulation and control stress, contributing to overall wellness. Be cautious with strenuous exercises that could jeopardize heart health.
Ashwagandha is a commonly recommended herb for ED in Ayurveda for its adaptogenic properties, promoting overall vitality, but please consult a healthcare professional before adding any supplements.
Practicing stress management techniques such as meditation or pranayama can aid in calming the mind and enhancing sensory functions.
Remember, any intervention for erectile dysfunction should be not at the expense of your heart health. Regular consultations with your doctors remain vital.

HELLO GERG,
Thank you for sharing this, and its completely understandable that you are feeling concerned. Erectile Dysfunction(ED) and perceived penile shrinkage can be distressing, especially when they affect self-esteem and relationships.
#POSSIBLE CAUSES WITHOUT CHRONIC ILLNESS
1)PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS- stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tension, performance pressure
2)LIFESTYLE ISSUES- poor sleep, excessive alcohol, smoking, lack of exercise or obesity, porn-induced desensitisation.
3)HORMONAL IMBALANCE-low testosterone, thyroid isses
4)REDUCED BLOOD FLOW- early vascular insufficiency
5)PENILE SHRINKAGE- often related to poor circulation or lack of regular erections-erectile tissue needs regular blood flow
-psychological perception - penis appears smaller when flaccid due to stress or anxiety
#RECOMMENDED INVESTIGATIONS
-serum testosterone-free/total
-thyroid profile-tsh,t3,t4
-fasting blood sugar, lipid profile
-vitamin d and b12
-pelvic ultrasound- if shrinkage persists
AYURVEDIC VIEW AND TREATMENT PLAN
-according to Ayurveda, your condition is likely related to shukra dhatu kshaya, vata imbalance, and possible manovaha srotas ducti-mind body channel disturbance
#LIFESTYLE AND DIET
-SLEEP- aim for 7-8 hours, avoid late nights
-EXERCISE-brisk walk or surya namaskar daily
-YOGA- vajrasana, Ashwini mudra, sarvangasana and PRANAYAM- especially anulom-vilom and bhramari
#DIET
-warm,nourishing food like ghee, milk especially shatavari+ashwagandha milk
-avoid excessive spicy, dry or fast food
-include dates, almonds(soaked), sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds
-stay hydrated
#INTERNALLY START THIS
1)ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime
2)SHILAJIT CAPSULE- 500mg morning empty stomach
3)KAPIKACHHU CHURNA- 3gm with honey+milk at night
4)SAFED MUSLI CHURNA- 3 gm with milk after dinner
5)VRIHANI VATI- 1tab after dinner
6_CHYAWANPRASHA- 1tsp morning with milk
#MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
-practice mindfullness meditation to manage stress
-avoid overstimulation too much porn, masturbation, as it can desensitise natural arousal
FOR HEART ISSUE(SUPPORTIVE)
-ARJUNA CHAL CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily in morning and night with warm water
continue this for 3 months with kegel exercises and moola bandha for better resuts
THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
