Is Your Sugar Addiction Causing Your Erectile Dysfunction?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Could those cupcakes and sodas be causing your erectile dysfunction<\/strong>? Yes and no.<\/p>\n

First, it\u2019s important to understand that sugar itself doesn\u2019t cause diabetes. But eating too much sugar can cause you to become overweight, which is a contributing factor to diabetes. Diabetes is a significant risk factor for erectile dysfunction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Besides diabetes contributing to erectile dysfunction<\/a>, there\u2019s also a problem with how few people know about the correlation. A survey from CuraLin Diabetic Supplement found that nearly 80% of people didn\u2019t know that type 2 diabetes could cause erectile dysfunction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The link between diabetes and erectile dysfunction<\/h2>\n

So just how can diabetes lead to erectile dysfunction<\/strong>? High blood sugar damages the nerves and blood vessels in the body, which are vital for getting erectile. In addition, heart disease and high blood pressure often accompany diabetes, and both can also contribute to erectile dysfunction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Other causes of erectile dysfunction<\/h2>\n

Of course, having diabetes doesn\u2019t automatically mean you\u2019ll develop erectile dysfunction<\/a>, and having erectile dysfunction certainly doesn\u2019t mean you have diabetes.<\/p>\n

In addition to diabetes, heart disease, obesity and high blood pressure, common causes of erectile dysfunction include<\/strong> atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, Parkinson\u2019s disease, metabolic syndrome, sleep disorders, alcoholism, smoking, multiple sclerosis, Peyronie\u2019s disease, treatments for prostate cancer or enlarged prostate, anxiety, depression, surgeries and injuries, relationship issues and certain medications.<\/p>\n

Treating erectile dysfunction<\/h2>\n

The erectile dysfunction drug Viagra works for more than 80% of men with erectile dysfunction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While there are some instances where men shouldn\u2019t use Viagra, such as if they take nitrates or other erectile dysfunction medications Viagra<\/a> is safe for most men.<\/p>\n

Still, you should discuss your health concerns and any current medications with your doctor.<\/p>\n

For men who need to control their blood sugar, there are some steps you can take. Start by cutting out processed foods, desserts and sweet treats<\/strong>. Eat more vegetables and give up or cut back on alcohol. Exercising regularly can help you lose weight and keep it off, but it\u2019s not enough to exercise if you\u2019re still eating lots of junk food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
