Drink some wine every day, and ED (erectile dysfunction) will stay away from you - this may become the new advice of the andrologist. According to the February issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, a new study in Australia has overturned the traditional concept of "alcohol harms sex". Researchers pointed out that moderate alcohol consumption can prevent ED for a long time.
This study was completed by Professor Qiu Quanjin of the Keo Medical Research Center in Western Australia. 1770 Western Australian men were surveyed. They were divided into five groups, including drinking on weekends, getting drunk every day, drinking a moderate amount of red wine or beer every day, abstaining from drinking and never drinking. After excluding the risk factors that may lead to ED, such as age, smoking and cardiovascular disease, the survey results show that people who often drink moderately are 25% - 30% less likely to have ED than those who do not drink alcohol. Even men who occasionally binge drink are less likely to have erectile problems than those who never drink. "We believe that men should be encouraged to drink in moderation. For example, they can drink a small glass of red or white wine every day to feel a slight fever, sweat, clear mind and a sense of pleasure."
Researchers believe that this may be due to the role of some antioxidant components in wine. "Previous studies have shown that red wine and white wine can improve blood flow and prevent cardiovascular disease. The pathogenesis of ED is often similar to cardiovascular disease." At the same time, people will feel happy and relaxed after drinking, which can enhance sexual desire.
Qiu Quanjin pointed out that on the one hand, this study was designed to comfort men who were drinking and worried about their health. "Many of the ED patients I have visited attribute the problem to alcohol. They have a sense of guilt for this. Their psychological burden will turn into physical functional defects and aggravate the disease. On the other hand, we also want to confirm that alcohol and sexual function are not closely related. Cardiovascular disease, smoking, etc. are the culprits."
