Don’t Let ED Ruin Your Valentine’s Day: A Guide to Lasting Solutions
Feb 02, 2026
You have your sights set on a romantic Valentine’s Day, including connective and pleasurable physical intimacy. But what if your penis has other plans?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common, treatable, and nothing to be embarrassed about. If you struggle to achieve or maintain erections, we can help.
Our expert team at Kane Health in Silicon Valley, Redwood City, and the San Francisco Bay area of California offers holistic sexual health programs and advanced ED treatments to bolster your sexual function and overall well-being.
It is not a matter of “if” a man will develop erectile dysfunction, it is a matter of “when”. Anyone with a penis will develop ED at some point in their life, but it’s especially likely if you’re over age 40, have certain chronic conditions, lead a sedentary lifestyle, or smoke. Poor blood flow to your pelvis is a leading cause of erection challenges.
Conditions that limit blood flow and fuel ED include diabetes, hypertension, low testosterone, kidney disease, Peyronie’s disease, and heart disease. Nerve damage, depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep loss also fuel ED.
Medications are far from your only option for alleviating erectile dysfunction. While ED pills may provide temporary respite, they can also cause side effects.
At Kane Health, our personalized ED treatments often begin with GAINSwave therapy.
This noninvasive therapy improves erections using high-frequency, low-intensity sound waves that increase pelvic blood flow, break up micro-plaques and scar tissue (associated with Peyronie’s disease), and stimulate new blood vessel growth.
We also offer testosterone therapy and penile implants for improved erections. In addition to reduced ED, restored testosterone often brings the added benefits of better energy, mood, bone health, body composition, and sleep.
Our holistic programs also focus on your diet, heart health, and more, to ensure that your ED solution and well-being enhancements last.
If a chronic health condition contributes to your ED, continue your treatment for that as well.
To get the most benefit from your ED treatment, schedule your initial assessment and follow your program guidance once you start. If challenges present, our team is happy to answer questions and adjust your treatment if needed.
Other factors that can help ensure positive ED treatment results include giving yourself grace and patience, seeking sex or relationship therapy, and realizing that rich pleasure and intimacy go beyond erections.
Incorporating more “outercourse” into sex, where you cultivate pleasure beyond penetration, can go far as your function improves.
