Discussing ED with a physician can ultimately lead to better overall health.<\/figcaption><\/figure> If you’re struggling with erectile dysfunction, a new study suggests weight loss could be the key. For overweight men, erectile dysfunction, or ED, is a common problem. While erection medications like Viagra and Cialis can improve the sex life of those struggling with weight, the study shows dropping just a few pounds can turn things around in the bedroom.<\/p>\n

The Australian study, which involved 31 patients found that dropping just 5 to 10 percent of body weight over a two-month time frame improved erectile function and increased sexual desire.<\/p>\n

Weight not a serious concern for men, say doctors<\/b><\/p>\n

Doctors say it\u2019s difficult to get men to take their weight problems seriously. Obesity can lead to other problems including heart trouble and diabetes, but doctors say most men don\u2019t take those potential risks seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou talk all the prevention you want,\u201d says Kevin Billups, M.D., an associate professor of urology at the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis tells CNN<\/a>.<\/b> \u201cWhen I talk about restoring penile health, I have their attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a patient comes to see Billups, he has the patient stand up and look down. \u201cIf you can\u2019t see your penis,\u201d he says, \u201cthat\u2019s a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

How weight affects your love life<\/b><\/p>\n

Weight loss could improve ED, new study suggests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Billups says obesity effects blood vessels. Without healthy vessels, blood flow is interrupted and leads to problems getting or sustaining an erection.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn erection is basically a cardiovascular event,\u201d says Robert A. Kloner, M.D., a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the University of Southern California\u2019s Keck School of Medicine, in Los Angeles. \u201cIf blood flow cannot increase because the blood vessels can\u2019t dilate normally, then there\u2019s a decrease in erection function.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the study, men who lost weight saw improvement in the health of their blood vessels. In turn, their sex lives improved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
