More research being looked at by Ukmedix shows that sometimes men with impotence can get cured just by the passing of time and without treatment. An in depth study undertaken by the New England Research Institute, the researchers noted that if the erectile dysfunction was not too severe it may just go away without the need for erectile dysfunction drugs or other treatments. The research is important as it is commonly believed that erectile dysfunction can't just cure itself and that it will just get worse with time.

The research program looked at just over one thousand males between the ages of 40 and 70 years old and they were questioned about their sexual function from 1987 to 1989 and then again about 8 years later. It is important to realise that the use of Viagra was not part of this survey as this was before the medication was available. The men were examined for health problems and the severity of their erectile dysfunction was also reported.

About a third of all the men questioned had some degree of erectile dysfunction at the start of the survey and by the end of it nealry 50% said that they were experiencing the progression or remission of ED compared to the start of the survey. Interestingly a third of those who said they had ED at the start of the survey said it had got worse but slightly more (35%) said that it had got better and most of these said that it had totally gone.

Most of the men who reported complete remission of the ED had only mild symptoms at the start of the survey however this was not necessarily the case as some of those with complete ED reported full remission of the problem. This usually happens in younger men who suffer from pyschological impotence not related to physical erectile function problems.

Other things that seemed to be the cause of the erectile dysfunction remission were things like quitting smoking, losing weight and getting fitter and healthier.
