ED can be an early indicator that your blood vessels are not doing well (Sooriyamoorthy, 2021). Studies show that young men with ED are 30% more likely to develop heart disease over the next 10 years (Pozzi, 2020). In fact, people with ED have over 60% more heart attacks, almost 40% more strokes, and a 25% increased risk of death than those without ED (Sooriyamoorthy, 2021). Erectile dysfunction and heart disease share a lot of the same risk factors and symptoms. If you have symptoms of ED, consider getting screened for cardiovascular risk factors like diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

Read More »Oral prescription medications for ED are highly effective at improving sexual function. The most commonly prescribed are phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors like sildenafil (brand name Viagra), tadalafil (brand name Cialis), and vardenafil (brand name Levitra). PDE5 inhibitors work by widening your blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis. Some men have found natural remedies for ED to be effective at improving sexual performance (such as DHEA, ginseng, L-arginine, L-carnitine, and yohimbine), though the evidence is limited. If you’re experiencing erectile dysfunction, know that there are a range of safe and effective treatment options available to improve your sex life and that of your partner or partners. Speak with a healthcare provider to learn which treatment might be right for you. References Ostfeld, R. J., Allen, K. E., Aspry, K., Brandt, E. J., Spitz, A., Liberman, J., et al. (2021).
