Did you know animals suffer from Erection Issues too? There is no question humans and animal share similarities. Putting the evolution debate aside, humans and animals share behaviors and anatomy.
Bloomberg News described the similarities by saying, “Stallions self-mutilate, wild chimpanzees feel depressed, koalas acquire sexually transmitted diseases and wallabies get stoned. Just like humans.”
Like humans, animals have sex for pleasure and like humans; they deal with sexual problems like Erection Issues. When it comes to medical problems like this, vets and doctors don’t seek advice from one another.
Let’s face it, vets aren’t in the habit of handing out Viagra to their four-legged patients, but several researchers believe a lot can be learned if the two professions learned to work together.
New book explores human and animal similarities
UCLA Health System cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and several other experts have written a book, “Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing,” in hopes of encouraging cooperation.
When it comes to a problem like Erection Issues, Natterson-Horowitz says men can take comfort in knowing the problem happens in the animal kingdom. “Knowing it all happens across species can for some people reduce the stigma,” she said.
“I hope that the book can de-pathologize a number of conditions because people who suffer from Erection Issues or eating disorders or cancer or whatever it is, not only have to deal with the disorder but the shame and the self-recrimination and the guilt.”
Fighting the shame
For many men, Erection Issues is difficult to talk about. As Natterson-Horowitz mentioned, guilt and shame can play a significant role in the disorder. It’s important to talk to a doctor about any kind of disorder. Erection Issues is not a rare condition, the FDA estimates more than 30 million men deal with the condition.
It is a treatable condition, and in some cases, underlying medical conditions can contribute to the problem.
