[:en]While many men hate talking about it, erectile dysfunction (ED) can be triggered by many factors, including relationship or emotional problems, certain medications, smoking, health conditions and even alcohol. There are many non-invasive things you can do to feel the confidence you once had, and erectile dysfunction medication (EDM) is a discrete and easy way to treat the issue when all else fails. Let’s talk about how EDM and other healthy choices can help you.
Did you know that a lack of sex was recently discovered to be a strong indicator of erectile dysfunction? According to researchers in Finland, men who have sex less than once a week increase their chances of suffering an erectile dysfunction condition. On the other hand, men who are intimate a few times a week can decrease their chances of experiencing the condition altogether.
Being active and exercising often should be at the top of your list in terms of lessening your ED condition while improving your overall health. Doing so benefits your heart and muscles, keeps your bones stronger and lowers your risk of chronic diseases, depression and anxiety. If you start boosting your energy levels with physical activity, such as jogging, walking, weightlifting or swimming, you may very well notice that your ED issue will become a thing of the past.
Let’s face it, a better body can surely give you the confidence and self-esteem boost needed to perform better in the bedroom. Although it’s true that even the most health-conscious man can suffer ED, his chances are low compared to a man who lacks that type of confidence. This is where our previous point comes into play. Exercising will lead to a better physical state and can help increase your confidence levels.
Those love handles and your gut are two of the biggest risk factors for dealing with erectile dysfunction. To give you a better idea of what we’re saying, imagine a man with a body-mass index (BMI) of 23% to 25%. This is high and can increase his chances of dealing with high blood pressure and hypertension! As we’ve come to learn, high blood pressure is one of the leading factors of erectile dysfunction. How so? Well, fat cells release inflammatory chemicals that lead to poor endothelial functioning (the regulation of blood flow in response to stimuli) and even heart disease.
The bad news doesn’t stop there, though. These fat cells churn out extra aromatase, an enzyme that converts to estrogen, or what many call the “female hormone”. When a testosterone-to-estrogen ratio decreases, so does the risk for erectile dysfunction.
This one’s a no-brainer. Smoking is harmful to your body in more ways than one, and almost everyone knows the types of diseases it can lead to – lung cancer, stroke and heart disease to name a few. Here’s the thing that many men don’t know about smoking: it can also increase your risk of suffering ED.
ED is something many men are embarrassed talking about. Although this is understandable, by not taking action to improve your lifestyle, you may be setting yourself up to suffer the condition. EDM is non-invasive, discreet and can help you feel like yourself again. Contact us today in McAllen to learn what can be done about your condition.[:]
