Male erectile dysfunction (ED) is a major obstacle for people to achieve sexual success, and its reasons are also quite complex. Recently, a well-known American magazine published an article that reviewed 10 special factors that contribute to erectile dysfunction.
Engaging in high-intensity work. A survey in the United States has found that men working in environments prone to depression and anxiety, such as catering staff, healthcare workers, firefighters, and police officers, often face problems such as smoking and alcohol abuse. If they take antidepressants again, these factors will increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. Dr. Justin, a professor at the Human Sexuality Research Center at the University of Wynne in the United States, stated that anxiety and depression are the main psychological factors leading to erectile dysfunction.
Solution: Don't pay too much attention and make relaxation the top priority.
2. Regional factors influence. The survey found that in the United States, the incidence rate of ED varies greatly in different regions. In regions with high incidence rate, most patients are over 60 years old; In areas with low incidence rate, the majority of young patients may be related to regional living habits and climate. However, the study also found that the incidence rate of erectile dysfunction among young people is rising.
Solution: Understand what are the high incidence diseases in your area, what are the reasons, and actively take measures to prevent them.
3. Watching too much pornographic content. Mohammed, a registered physician in the United States, stated that watching too many pornographic films can lead to psychological problems. Research has shown that watching too much porn can alter brain mechanisms and even make people addicted. If they are not stimulated as in porn, they will not be aroused sexually.
The solution: Throw away shyness, honestly confess the fact that you watch porn to your spouse, and actively consult with a sex therapist.
4. Poor cleaning of teeth. Israeli researchers have found that over 15% of ED patients also suffer from periodontitis, compared to only 2% of healthy men who do not suffer from ED. Other studies have found that oral inflammation can lead to a decrease in endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which can generate nitric acid and regulate blood flow. If blood flow is not smooth, men will find it difficult to be aroused sexually.
Solution: Adhere to flossing your teeth and maintain oral hygiene.
5. Eating too much salt. Eating too much salt can bring cardiovascular risks, which are common causes of erectile dysfunction. Cardiovascular disease is often accompanied by hypertension and high cholesterol, which can lead to vascular sclerosis, poor blood flow, and increased risk of stroke. A stroke can damage the nervous system within the genitalia.
Solution: Strengthening exercise can comprehensively improve health conditions, including improving blood circulation in the genitalia.
6. Excessive concern about deposit balance. This can lead to increased stress, which is an easily overlooked cause of erectile dysfunction. Stress hormones can cause vasoconstriction in the blood vessels that control erections and also bring about a risk of hypertension.
Solution: Release stress through yoga, meditation, and social activities.
7. Eating unhealthy. A healthy diet is a simple and feasible way to reduce the risk of ED. Dr. Brandon, a sex therapist from Annapolis, USA, said that a Mediterranean diet dominated by fruits, vegetables, fish, etc. is the healthiest diet for ED patients. This dietary method can maintain healthy and smooth blood vessels, promote the production of nitrogen oxides, which can dilate penile blood vessels.
Solution: Adjust your diet and refuse unhealthy foods.
8. Cycling frequently. ED is associated with cycling and even horseback riding, as these movements can cause desensitization of the fragile pelvic floor nervous system, while hard and narrow seats can damage blood vessels.
Solution: Reduce cycling time, and if there are still problems, perform a pelvic floor examination.
9. Long term snoring. Snoring indicates the possibility of developing sleep apnea syndrome, which can lead to insufficient blood oxygen supply and affect overall health, including sexual function. A study has found that among the 18 million patients with sleep apnea syndrome in the United States, 69% have a gender imbalance, 69% have decreased libido, and 46% have decreased sexual arousal.
Solution: Positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP) and mouthpiece therapy (OAT) can effectively alleviate symptoms.
10. Overreliance on Viagra. Many ED patients think that taking Viagra can solve the problem, but sex experts say that blind taking Viagra may not be effective, for example, diabetes causes poor blood circulation, and taking Viagra will not have much effect.
Solution: Throw away concerns, consult a doctor, and then prescribe medication according to the situation
