H<\/span>igh blood pressure reduces the volume of blood your arteries can carry, which can lead to erectile dysfunction. Taking steps to normalize your blood pressure could very well help you to regain normal erectile function. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

High blood pressure is a condition whereby blood flows through the vessels at a higher pressure than normal. This high pressure increases the workload of the heart and the blood vessels.<\/p>\n

With time the pressure erodes the inside of the arteries leaving tiny tears through them that will be filled with bad cholesterol in the blood. As the damage continues and more plaque forms inside the arteries, they gradually become narrower, thus raising blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Blood Pressure and Erectile Dysfunction<\/h3>\n

The damage and plaque formation in the arteries reduce the amount of blood flowing throughout your whole body. This can cause erectile dysfunction as there isn’t enough blood flow going to the penis to support optimal erectile function.<\/p>\n

It can also cause a reduction in sexual desire and interfere with ejaculation. This means that by lowering high blood pressure, it is possible to alleviate its effect on your sexual health and conceivably even cure it altogether.<\/p>\n

Some blood pressure medicines like thiazide diuretics and beta-blockers have also been known to cause impotence or erectile dysfunction as a side effect.<\/p>\n

Treating Hypertensive ED<\/h3>\n

The treatment options available for erectile dysfunction associated with high blood pressure varies depending on whether it is actually caused by the high blood pressure or instead by the medication used to treat it.<\/p>\n

ED caused by high blood pressure can be treated with the oral ED medications known as PDE5 inhibitors. Generally speaking, these drugs are safe to use in combination with high blood pressure medicine. Always talk to your doctor first before embarking on any new treatment plan.<\/p>\n

For side effects that are caused by ED drugs, the first course of action is to adhere strictly to the drug’s label directions. If the side effects persist, consult your doctor about alternative options with fewer side effects. Sometimes side effects can be increased by certain combinations; it is therefore imperative that you be candid with your doctor about any other medications that you are taking because this will allow the doctor to give you a more informed recommendation.<\/p>\n
