When many men don't work or go to school, I'm at home or dormitory. Slovenly. Don't love clean and muddle along. Brushing teeth is such a trivial matter that they usually don't pay attention to it. However, not brushing teeth will become the cause of "I can't do it". During the study, scientists compared and analyzed the two groups of participants. One group of 80 people, aged between 30 and 40 years old, has sexual dysfunction, and the other group is the control group, 82 people in total, does not have this problem.
The results showed that 53% of the participants with sexual dysfunction had symptoms of gingival inflammation at the same time, compared with 23% in the control group. After adjusting for other factors such as age, body mass index, family income and education level, the researchers found that the risk of sexual dysfunction of men with severe periodontal disease was 3.29 times higher than that of men with healthy gums.
The main author of the research paper Dr. Feis Oguz of Inonu University in Türkiye said: "Sexual dysfunction is a major health problem that affects the quality of life. There are about 150 million men around the world with this problem. Two thirds of sexual dysfunction is caused by physiological factors, mainly vascular problems, and other erectile dysfunction is caused by psychological factors such as emotional stress and depression. Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria, and the most common symptom is gingivitis. Many studies have found that chronic periodontitis can Causes vascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease related to erectile problems. "
The average age of the two groups of men participating in the study was less than 36 years old, and there were significant differences in body mass index, family income and education level. The researchers used the International Erectile Function Index to evaluate the sexual function of participants, and evaluated their gingival health status by plaque index, probing bleeding, probing depth and clinical attachment level.
Oguz pointed out: "As far as we know, sexual dysfunction and chronic periodontal disease are caused by similar factors, such as aging, smoking, diabetes and coronary artery disease. In this study, we excluded men and smokers with systemic diseases. We purposely selected men aged 30 to 40 as participants to evaluate the impact of chronic periodontal disease on sexual dysfunction on the premise of excluding the effects of aging. Our findings support a theory That is, chronic periodontal disease is more common in men with sexual dysfunction, and should be used as a reference factor for doctors to treat patients with erectile problems.
