Seeing Your Doctor About Your Erectile Dysfunction Could Save Your Life

The inability to get an erection, or maintain one firm enough for sex

, is known as erectile dysfunction and it affects the lives of millions of men. Talking to a doctor if you are experiencing ED can be one of the smartest decisions for your health according to a recent study released in Circulation, an online journal from the American Heart Association.

For years, doctors have known there is a link between ED and certain risk factors for coronary heart disease including atherosclerosis, the thickening of artery walls, but what they were not sure of was just how predictive ED may be for future complications.

The study surveyed over 1,500 men and concluded, ED is a potent predictor of all-cause death and the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure in men with cardiovascular disease, as stated in the abstract. Most men do not understand the inherit risks involved with not talking with your doctor regularly about certain health risks like erectile dysfunction.

When a man is not able to maintain, or even achieve an erection at all, the physical reason is simple. Blood is not flowing freely enough to the penis. The reasons for this vary. In some cases, cardiovascular conditions are to blame, while other men simply suffer from anxiety, depression or stress. Men with ED are more likely to develop the risk factors for coronary heart disease, including high blood pressure, stroke and high cholesterol.

Nearly 70 percent of men experiencing erectile dysfunction are never diagnosed. While it is not always the easiest things for many men to do, talking to a doctor about the condition will alert him to take extra precautions against coronary heart disease and it's risk factors and will also help you get your sex life back on track. It's this early detection and management that can keep you healthy for years to come.
