Proper brushing not only maintains oral hygiene, but also helps men reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED). Recently, Professor Faith Oguz of Inonu University in Türkiye confirmed through research that men who are sloppy in life and do not brush their teeth on time sooner or later are more likely to have ED.
During the study, the scientists conducted a comparative analysis of the two groups of participants. One group of 80 people, aged between 30 and 40 years, had erectile dysfunction, while the other group, a control group of 82 people, did not have this problem. Research has found that 53% of participants with erectile dysfunction have symptoms of gingival inflammation at the same time, and most of them do not have the habit of scientifically brushing their teeth. In contrast, this proportion was only 15% in the control group. After analyzing other factors such as age, body mass index, family income, and education, the researchers found that men with periodontal disease were 3.29 times more likely to have erectile dysfunction than men with healthy gums.
Professor Faith Oguz of Inonu University in Türkiye, the main author of the research paper, said that about 150 million men around the world have erectile problems. Bad oral habits will increase the incidence rate of chronic periodontitis, thereby affecting vascular health and increasing the risk of ED. Therefore, he called on men to attach importance to oral health to ensure erectile function.
