Erectile Dysfunction and Your Heart
by
Dr. Deepak Arora
 Do
you know? Impotence (erectile dysfunction) may be an early sign of other
ailments like heart diseases.
At first we should under stand about E.D. Erectile dysfunction is one of
the most common sexual disorder effecting men. This distressing
condition can destroy a man’s ego and threaten happy relationships.
Erectile dysfunction is nothing but a condition, wherein a person has
difficulty in getting and /or keeping an erection.
It’s not really a new thing that there is a relationship between
vascular disease and erectile dysfunction, but recent studies are
telling us that those suffering from impotence may be up to three times
more likely to have a heart attack. Another study found, problems in the
arteries of men with erectile dysfunction, which has implications not
only for heart attacks, but also strokes. These findings make it more
important than ever for men to see qualified doctors when they're
experiencing problems with intercourse.
Historically, the biggest challenge in the fight against impotence
hasn’t been a lack of treatment options. It’s been getting men to visit
qualified doctors in the first place. Experts say that less than 40
percent of men living with impotence see the qualified doctors in this
regard rest are destroying their married lives by not visiting to the
qualified doctor for the treatment.
A man may see some improvement simply by making some simple lifestyle
changes such as reducing alcohol intake, exercising more often, having
healthy food or quitting smoking. These may sound a lot like
‘heart-patient recommendations,’ but it goes to show just how
significant the link between erectile dysfunction and heart disease
really is.
Reduced blood flow to the penis and nerve damages are two of the most
common causes of erectile dysfunction. Hardening and narrowing of the
arteries (atherosclerosis) can reduce blood flow throughout the body and
lead to impotence. High levels of blood sugar associated with
diabetes—another risk factor for heart disease—may damage small blood
vessels and nerves throughout the body, which can impede blood flow or
nerve signals necessary for erection.
In the majority of cases, erectile dysfunction can be successfully
treated. We have effective treatments that can be tailored to a couple’s
lifestyle and needs. It is not an inconsequential ‘problem’ or one that
will simply go away, so it shouldn't be brushed off—especially
considering the other implications.
So the conclusion is that, the impotence is not related with your bed
room or your married life only, it is related with your “life” (The
Heart) and if you face any type of lack in your erection or sex life it
should be taken care seriously and should never be ignored.
