It is being said that there is a strong relation between erectile dysfunction and heart disease. Erectile dysfunction is a type of sexual dysfunction in which a man is not able to perform well in bed with his sexual partner due to improper erections. When a man is not able to get and maintain a good erection to indulge in sexual activities is said to have the problem of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction in men is considered as the main risk of heart attack leaving behind the family history, smoking or high cholesterol. Especially men who are in their 40s have a higher risk of getting a heart attack.
There is a great logic between the connection of erectile dysfunction and heart disease. Both involve atherosclerosis which are also known as hardening of arteries. Heart diseases take place when there is not sufficient blood flow in the heart due to plaque formed in the arteries which restricts the blood flow and the same condition is with other arteries in the body including the arteries going through the penis . When the plaque is formed and the arteries are narrowed down there is insufficient blood flow in the penis due to which a man is not able to achieve a proper erection while performing sexual activities.
The person who is between the age of 40 and 70 are at higher risk of having erection problems. The men who suffer with erectile dysfunction problems are often shy to talk about this problem to the doctors or anyone else. But actually discussing it would save their sexual life from ruining it. There are many other causes due to which a man doesn’t able acquire a proper erection like depression, low testosterone, nerve problems, diabetes, any drugs or medicines and so on.
