Doctors' responses

Since you have been dealing with erectile dysfunction for last five years and 70 year old and have some weight gain around the abdomen. Ayurveda looks at this as primarily vata imbalance in reproductive tissue and reduced ojas often compounded by eight related or Monal and circulatory changes The good news is that even at this age, strength, stamina, and directive function can improve naturally with consistent care

You can start with Ashwagandha churna 1 teaspoon with warm milk at night Safed musli churna 1 teaspoon with warm milk can be taken at morning Kaunch bheej churna half teaspoon with warm water at morning

Walking, mild yoga has to be done regularly Avoid long sitting Ensure proper sleep Reduction by doing meditation, Pranayam

Include Ghee milk, nuts, dates, sesame seeds, moong dal, sprouts, egg fish Avoid cold, dry processed food, sugar, and excessive tea or coffee

Gokshura Improves urinary + sexual function 4. Kaunch Beej Supports dopamine and testosterone 👉 These work slowly but safely (6–8 weeks)

At age 70 yrs. It’s natural to have erection problem as blood flow naturally reduces in penis due to age. Start with Cap. Ashwashila 1-0-1 after food with water Divya youvan gold 1-0-1 before food with warm milk. Apply ashwagandha bala oil on penis externally twice daily. Do kegel exercises daily. Have early dinner Be relaxed and remain stress free.

Hello 🙏

Thank you for sharing openly. At 70 years, with 5 years of severe erectile dysfunction, this is quite common and manageable, especially since you’ve already made good lifestyle changes (quitting smoking & alcohol 👍).

I’ll explain why this happens, then give practical medical + Ayurvedic guidance suitable for your age.

Why ED happens at your age - At 65–75 years, ED is usually organic, not psychological. Common causes in your case: - Reduced blood flow to the penis (age-related vascular changes) - Hormonal decline (low testosterone) - Central obesity (belly fat) → reduces nitric oxide & testosterone Possible silent conditions: - Diabetes - High BP - Cholesterol - Prostate enlargement - Reduced nerve sensitivity with age 👉 This is not a failure, it’s a health signal.

First: Important medical checks (very important) Before treatment, please ensure these are evaluated (if not done in last 1 year): - Fasting & PP blood sugar - Lipid profile - Blood pressure - Serum testosterone (morning sample) - PSA (prostate) - Thyroid (TSH) Treating ED without checking these is incomplete at your age.

Lifestyle correction (MOST IMPORTANT) Even medicines won’t work well without this. 1️⃣ Reduce belly fat 30–40 min brisk walking daily Avoid night-time heavy meals Dinner before 7:30 pm

2️⃣ Diet changes Avoid: Excess wheat, rice at night Fried, bakery, sugar Cold drinks, curd at night

Include: Pumpkin seeds (1 tsp daily) Pomegranate Beetroot Garlic (1 clove daily) Ghee 1 tsp/day (not excess)

Ayurvedic Management (Safe for elderly) For severe ED of long duration, treatment should be gradual (8–12 weeks). Recommended classical medicines:

1️⃣ Ashwagandha churna → 4g with warm milk at night ✔ Improves stamina & testosterone

2️⃣ Kapikacchu (Kaunch beej) churna → 500 mg twice daily with milk ✔ Improves erection quality

3️⃣ Shilajit (purified) → 250 mg once daily after breakfast ✔ Improves blood flow & energy

4️⃣ Chandraprabha vati → 2 tabs twice daily ✔ Helpful if prostate / urinary weakness exists ⚠️ Avoid strong Vajikarana ras medicines without supervision at your age.

Local therapy (very effective) Abhyanga with Ashwagandha taila or Bala taila Massage lower abdomen, thighs, lower back Daily or alternate days

Expectations (important to know) - First 2–3 weeks: ↑ energy, better mood - 4–6 weeks: Mild improvement in rigidity - 8–12 weeks: Best achievable improvement 👉 At 70, aim is functional intimacy, not teenage performance — and that is perfectly normal & healthy.

Hello It’s totally normal to be worried about this, especially since it’s been going on for years. Being 70 and dealing with erectile dysfunction isn’t a personal failing. It usually comes down to things that change as we get older, like our blood vessels, hormones, metabolism, and nervous system.

Ayurveda looks at this kind of thing with a really positive and practical mindset, no judging at all.

YOUR CONCERN

You’re 70. The main problem: Really bad ED for about 5 years. Right now: You almost never get or keep an erection. Lifestyle: You quit smoking and drinking 10 years ago (awesome!). You’ve put on some weight, especially around your stomach. Your energy levels are okay.

How Ayurveda sees it:

In Ayurveda, this is mostly called Klaibya, and it’s because of a few things:

–Vata getting high in old age: This can mess with nerve signals and make things less rigid.

–Shukra dhatu kshaya (reproductive tissue getting low) This means less sexual strength, desire, and erection quality.

–Srotorodha (blocked channels) because of belly fat: This makes it harder for blood to get to your penis.

–Agni & Ojas being low: This leads to less energy, endurance, and overall nourishment for your body.

At your age, we should aim for better function, firmness, feeling more confident, and an overall better quality of life. Don’t put pressure on yourself for unrealistic performance.

SUPER IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:

Ayurveda can help, but: –Things get better slowly, not overnight. –No herb can work like sildenafil right away. –Stay away from online claims for quick power or penis enlargement – they’re not safe. – If you have heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, or take nitrates, we need to pick medicines super carefully.

TREATMENT GOAL

–Better blood flow to your penis. –Stronger nervous system and hormones. –Less belly fat. –More confidence and stamina in bed. –Better overall energy, not just erections.

AYURVEDIC PLAN:

INTERNAL MEDIACTION

1.Ashwagandha capsule 1 at night with warm milk or water. It helps nerves, testosterone, and confidence.

2 Kapikacchu Churna: A quarter teaspoon once a day after dinner with warm milk. Good for dopamine and erection response.

3.Prostomin capsule once a day. Helps blood flow and prostate health.

4 Narasimha Rasyana 1 tsp once a day in the morning with warm water. Boosts stamina, energy, and circulation.

EXTERNAL CARE

Abhyanga (oil massage) on: Your lower back, thighs, and pelvic area. Use Mahanarayan Taila or Bala Ashwagandhadi Taila 3-4 times a week.

This helps blood flow and nerve response down there.

DIET MODIFICATION

✅INCLUDE

–Warm, freshly made meals. –Cow’s ghee (1 teaspoon daily). –Milk (daytime or night, not cold). –Dates, figs (2 soaked daily). –Moong dal, rice, veggies. –Pomegranate, apple.

❌Definitely avoid these:

–Heavy meals late at night. –Fried and junk food. –Too much sugar. –Cold drinks. –Too much porn (it can mess with your erection reflex).

Belly fat and exercise

–Walk briskly for 30-40 minutes every day. –Gentle yoga: Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, Setubandhasana. –Don’t lift really heavy weights. –Seriously: Just losing some belly fat can make a huge difference to your erections.

Breathing exercises (you gotta do these!):

–Every day: Anulom Vilom – 10 minutes. –Bhramari – 5 rounds. –Deep belly breathing before bed. –This calms Vata and helps your nerves and blood vessels.

Your age isn’t a problem, but being consistent is key.

You’ve already done the hardest part by quitting smoking and drinking. Your body can still get better if you support it kindly and correctly.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
