Erectile Dysfunction could Indicate Underlying Serious Ailments
September 12, 2005
Studies have shown that 80 per cent of erectile
dysfunction (ED) cases are related to the physical vascular
system and only 20 per cent to psychological problems. However,
men tend to suffer from a drop in self- esteem and believe they
will become the subject of jokes if they seek treatment for ED or
any sexual ailment.
But we need to take erectile dysfunction seriously as it can be
a pointer to many underlying serious diseases like coronary artery
disease, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, stress, smoking,
obesity and lack of exercise.
ED mustn't be related to only as a sex-related problem. As in such
circumstances ED may be the first symptom to develop, and heart
disease or stroke may follow.
One clear connection between ED
and the risk of heart disease or stroke has to do with changes developing
in the small blood vessels of the man's penis that initiate ED.
Similar changes in the larger blood vessels such as those leading
to the brain or heart can eventually result in heart attack or stroke.
So those men who are experiencing erection problems should not hesitate
to seek immediate medical help. ED can be treated effectively, and
in case of presence of other hidden ailments, these can be detected
and treated early.
