To what extent is hydrotherapy and bathing effective in treating erectile dysfunction?
The following passage on hydrotherapy and ED is taken from the best selling health book, "Sexual Impotence In The Male," published 1n 1883, written by William A.Hammond, M.D..
The author held the position of Surgeon General U.S. Army, Professor of Diseases of the Mind and Nervous System in the New York Post Graduate Medical School, and president of the American Neurological Association.
1. HYDROTHERAPY AND ED - BATHS
If the strength of the patient is such as to insure a proper degree of reaction, cold baths are of decided benefit. In such cases, they may be taken daily in the morning, and may be either plunge or shower, as may be preferred.
Sea baths are especially tonic to most persons.
Warm baths are sometimes useful, but in general they are better applied to the generative organs either alone or alternating with cold water.
In such cases the water should be poured on the parts from a height of several feet, either in the form of a shower or stream, first the hot, and then the cold, a coarse towel being then used for drying and rubbing till a decided sense of heat is produced.
There are few more powerful tonics than this mode of using water.
2. DOUCHES
Douches, either of hot or cold water or of both, applied to the skin and the perineum, are of decided advantage.
As in the former method, the hot and cold water may be used alternatively, two minutes for each being an average period of application.
3. TURKISH and RUSSIAN BATHS
Turkish and Russian baths are also of service taken about twice a week, and not of long duration at any one time.
4. BEVERAGES
Of drinks, tea and coffee are quite admissable, as is also a glass of Bordeaux, Burgundy, or other good wine at dinner. The excessive use of alcoholic liquors is, however, prejudicial to the object in view.
