ABSTRACT
Aim: To describe the safety and effectiveness of non-pharmacologic
preventive interventions for erectile dysfunction.
Methods: A systematic search was carried out electronically on the
Medline (PubMed) and Embase databases for studies published from
2002 to 2018
Results: The studies showed that preventive interventions directed at
risk factors, such as aerobic physical activity, the Mediterranean diet,
and sex therapy, contributed to preventing the development of erectile
dysfunction.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that carrying out the recommendations
of increased physical activity and an adequate diet rich in fruits,
vegetables, and dried fruits, from an early age, can help prevent the
appearance of sexual dysfunction at more advanced ages.
