Erectile dysfunction or Klaibya (Ayurvedic term) is the inability to achieve or maintain erection to satisfy his and the partner’s sexual needs. This is the most common problem in men due to the lifestyle changes that result in stress-related problems later on. Usually, this problem occurs in men above 40 years. Out of embarrassment, a lot of men fail to seek the right treatment. In most severe cases, it leads to impotency.
Erectile Dysfunction in Ayurveda is defined as
“अकालपाप्रवणो नित्यं परमं वश्यामपिं चरणम् ||
ना ययाति लिंगशिलातिलैथ कदचिद्याति वा यदी |
श्वासार्थार्थं स्विन्यगृहश्च मोघसंकल्पपश्चैत ||
म्लेनाशिश्नाश्च निर्बीजं सहोदयते कलिब्यालक्षनम् |”
This means that although man has a strong desire for the sexual act, he is unable to perform due to the absence of erection. Even if he puts effort into intercourse, he does not get erection and starts getting tired and frustrated. According to Ayurveda, imbalance in Vata causes erectile dysfunction.
