TV ads, surgeon general warnings and many other outlets have provided a multitude of reasons to quit. They’ve never laid it out like this for you.
Blood vessels in the penis
By now you’ve heard all the effects smoking can do to your body, but it’s not common knowledge how smoking affects the penis.
An erection occurs when you have mental and physical attraction, arteries in the penis will expand, filling with blood after receiving signals from the nerves in the penis. This set’s the brain into motion and the nervous system is operating at “all systems go.”
Even when the nervous system is operating at full capacity it’s common in men to experience ED, smoking damages the nervous system, increasing your odds of developing ED.
Blood flow
Nicotine causes blood vessels to become narrow, hence reducing blood flow. An erection is the result of more blood flowing to the penis.
Blood vessels become constricted when nicotine enters the system and this makes up some of the reason nicotine can be to blame for causing ED in some men.
It’s important to note that this constriction can be permanent, which can make treating ED in men that smoke tricky.
It’s never too late to quit. You may have tried and failed before but you can do it. If you find that you can’t do it on your own, get help.
If you’re a smoker dealing with ED, talk with your physician about it. There is no reason to be embarrassed. Thirty million men in America deal with some form of ED. Thirty to 50% of men ages 50 and above deal with ED.
