April 8, 2024 -- Little blue pill meets a little blue light.
A mobile app can improve erectile function, according to new research presented at the European Association of Urology (EAU) Annual Congress today.
Researchers developed a 12-week, self-managed program to treat erectile dysfunction. The program is delivered to patients' mobile devices and encourages users to do cardiovascular training, pelvic floor exercises, and a type of physical therapy called physiotherapy. It also provides information about erectile dysfunction, sexual therapy, and stress management.
Treating erectile dysfunction through physical activity and/or lifestyle changes is recommended in European guidelines but is not well established in clinical practice, according to the researchers.
