Men in Malaysia have access to several clinical approaches for managing these conditions, including daily and on-demand oral treatments as well as topical sprays.

Other options, like injections or implants, are more invasive and can carry greater risks and discomfort.

In addition, lifestyle adjustments can play a role. Health practitioners often recommend focusing on areas such as weight management, regular physical activity, smoking reduction, and moderating alcohol intake.

As men get older, changes in blood vessels and hormones make problems more likely. By the age of 40, around 40 percent of men report some degree of difficulty, and the numbers increase steadily with age.

But age isn’t the only factor. Stress, whether from work, relationships, or money, can interfere with brain signals. Even young, healthy men can notice changes in performance during stressful times.

Lifestyle plays a huge role too. Smoking, heavy drinking, poor sleep, and lack of exercise all reduce blood flow and energy, raising the risks of the condition occuring. On the other hand, regular activity, a balanced diet, and good rest can support health at any age.

So while age matters, stress and lifestyle choices are equally powerful, and importantly, they’re often within your control.

Many men won’t experience any side effects at all, but it’s normal to experience symptoms including headaches, a stuffy nose, facial flushing, muscle aches, or indigestion while using this class of treatment. These symptoms generally last only a short amount of time.
