Australian study from the Cancer Council of NSW identifies loss of erection issues risk factors. Men should be aware:\u00a0Men should always stay informed of what risk factors for loss of erection issues they have, and take action to minimize loss of erection symptoms before it\u2019s too late for effective treatment. But new information suggests even more strongly than ever that it\u2019s important to see a doctor if you\u2019re experiencing loss of erection symptoms.<\/p>\n

Not only can seeing a doctor improve your sex life greatly — it can also help identify the warning signs of more serious diseases, such as prostate cancer and the early stages of cardiovascular disease. <\/p>\n

The ability to achieve an erection is, after all, one of the main tests of the circular system.<\/p>\n

\"If
If you’re experiencing loss of erection, don’t feel alone. Nearly 2\/3 of men over 45 will have symptoms at some point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Australian Findings<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the largest to date, the Australian study \u201cexamined data on health, socio-demographic and lifestyle factors on 108,477 men aged 45\u201d who lived in New South Wales. \u00a0The findings were quite alarming, as 61% of the men had been affected in some way by loss of erection symptoms. Full results can be found in the Medical Journal of Australia, though we will bring you a summary of the important information.<\/p>\n

The Chronic Disease Link<\/strong>
\nCo-author of the study David Smith, who also works as the Associate Professor in Epidemiology and Research Fellow at the Cancer Council NSW, has some important comments on the link.<\/p>\n

\u201c… many men [who are receiving treatment for prostate cancer] \u00a0may neglect their erection health until they\u2019re well enough to think about it, and often by that stage the issues have compounded themselves, and they\u2019re unlikely to get an erection again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clearly, seeking treatment early is important, as it helps doctors preserve loss of erection function as well increasing the chances they can restore it fully. Another reason that it\u2019s important to see a doctor is that — according to another study published in PLOS Medicine by Emily Banks, Grace Joshy et. al. — severe loss of erection is a risk marker for early mortality. Men with loss of erection are twice as likely to die prematurely than men without loss of erection symptoms, and 60% more likely to be hospitalized for coronary heart disease.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>
\nThe message of these studies is pretty straightforward. Loss of erection is more than just an unfortunate drag on your sex life. It\u2019s also a warning sign of chronic disease, which means that you should get tested for these diseases earlier than usual. And last but not least, your doctor has a better chance of completely correcting your loss of erection if you seek treatment early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
