Ed can sometimes be a result of prostate cancer treatments like a prostatectomyâthe surgical removal of all or part of a man's prostate. Other health problems like high blood sugar, heart disease, or trauma to the pelvic area can cause ed.
Sexual health is closely tied to a manâs overall health. Since ed is a blood flow issue, it might be an early sign you're at risk for a heart attack. To stave off ed, men should stay in shape, work out, eat well, not smoke, get routine exams and learn to manage their stress levels. âwhen you tell a man it can reverse his ed that can be a great motivator.
If you have problems getting or keeping an erection, have less of a desire for sex or other issues that keep you from enjoying sex, visit your sexologist. Obese men have a higher rate for ed due to weaker blood vessels. Reduced blood circulation may lead to difficulty in achieving erections. When you tell a man it can reverse his erectile dysfunctionâthat can be a great motivator. I have seen many of my patients lose weight after being given this information, and they didn't need the ed medication anymore.
