During a 14 year follow-up survey conducted by Reim, it was often distressing to see that among the 22000 men surveyed, their chances of a sharp decline in sexual ability increased due to significant omissions in heart protection: 90% of them had a clear tendency towards ED, while those who smoked had a 50% higher chance of developing ED. Among them, many patients have no idea when their ED problem started, and some even realize that their sexual ability has also disappeared after a cardiovascular or cerebrovascular accident.
Ram pointed out that penile erection has always been subtly associated with heart health. When a man's heart has a desire, a large amount of blood flows into the central artery of the penile erection cavity, causing the corpus cavernosum to expand and stand upright. And the heart is the root of this continuous and stable blood supply. Any factor that weakens heart function, as well as factors that affect blood pressure, may lead to the inability of the penis to erect.
Lifestyle affects heart health
Smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day, almost never exercising, and being overweight is becoming increasingly severe year by year... The deputy chief physician of the hospital's Men's Health Center told reporters that any lifestyle that affects heart health costs those seemingly robust men a heavy price in terms of sexual ability.
A new medical study in Australia suggests that men who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day are 39% more likely to develop ED than non-smoking men. Because toxic chemicals in cigarettes such as nicotine can interfere with penile blood circulation, lower local blood pressure, and lead to insufficient congestion and erectile dysfunction.
In a stable life after marriage or cohabitation, as the amount of fat consumed in the diet increases, the regular exercise time is greatly reduced, and many men develop hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and high cholesterol at a young age. This situation greatly reduces their blood vessel oxygen delivery ability, and their erection ability also decreases accordingly.
In addition, problems closely related to heart health, such as hypertension and diabetes, can also directly lead to ED. Dr. Zhang further pointed out that with the increasing obesity rate among modern young people, the time when young people experience cardiovascular problems is gradually advancing, and the age at which they experience erectile problems is also constantly advancing.
