Three simple steps to treat erectile dysfunction
Is erectile dysfunction (ED) taking the joy out of your sex life? Take heart, for Temple urologist Jack Mydlo has provided
three very simple steps to get back the pleasure. The solution is quite simple: cut back on fat, control cholesterol,
and kick the butt.
Men often rely on the "little blue pill" to score in the bedroom but following these three simple steps can improve their
performance without a visit to the doctor or a drugstore.
After high blood pressure and diabetes the next culprit in the line for erectile dysfunction (ED) is cigarette.
1. The number one thing we can do to stop erectile dysfunction is to stop smoking. It's the number one environmental
cause of ED in our society.
It restricts the blood flow to the penis. He said it takes 12 to 24 months for better function once you quit the habit.
2. Men with high cholesterol are at two fold risk of developing erectile dysfunction.
High levels of cholesterol lead to plaque buildup in tubes (in the penis and arteries, which can greatly reduce blood
flow. Men with a cholesterol level of 240 or higher have almost a twofold increase of ED compared to a man who has lower
cholesterol numbers.
3. Adipose tissue in body fat converts testosterone to estrogen, and lower levels of testosterone can make it difficult
for a man to achieve an erection, no matter how many pills they take. Obesity is to blame not only for men with self-esteem
issues involving their appearance, but also their performance.
Losing weight will improve the testosterone to estrogen ratio, which may improve sex drive, or libido, as well as erections. It also decreases cholesterol, which will help improve blood flow.
