Hormone May Help Anxiety and Erectile Dysfunction in the Future<\/figcaption><\/figure> For some men, sexual dysfunction\u2014which can include erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation and decreased libido\u2014can be triggered by anxiety.<\/p>\n

The link between anxiety an erectile dysfunction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The anxiety may be caused by money woes, health problems or stress at work. It could also be due to sexual performance anxiety, a fear that they\u2019ll develop erectile dysfunction in the bedroom (which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy). It may also be caused by body image issues\u2014a fear that they\u2019re penis is too small or they\u2019re body is too unappealing.<\/p>\n

Whatever the cause of the anxiety-induced erectile dysfunction, researchers may have a new cure.<\/p>\n

How kisspeptin works<\/strong><\/p>\n

A hormone called kisspeptin, <\/em>(named after Hershey\u2019s chocolate Kisses because the first gene for kisspeptin was discovered by scientists in Hershey, Pennsylvania) appears to help both anxiety and erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n

Known for its roles in fertility and puberty, kisspeptin is produced in the hypothalamus and interacts with receptors in the pituitary gland. This interaction sparks the production of testosterone and estradiol.<\/p>\n

Researchers theorized that if they activated the kisspeptin-responsive neurons, anxiety would decrease and sexual function would increase. They tried out their theory on male mice and it worked. The male mice \u201csocialized\u201d more and paid more attention to the females.<\/p>\n

As the study\u2019s coauthor, King\u2019s College London\u2019s Dr. Daniel Adekunbi explains, \u201cIn men, anxiety-related disorders occur in tandem with sexual dysfunction.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime<\/strong><\/p>\n

More research needs to be done to confirm the findings before kisspeptin can be marketed as any kind of treatment for anxiety and erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n

Until then, men with anxiety-induced erectile dysfunction may want to try one of several FDA-regulated ED drugs, including Cialis. These will likely be very effective if the anxiety is caused by sexual performance issues because most men will have a guaranteed erection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
