The Hidden Message in Erectile Dysfunction

The Hidden Message in Erectile Dysfunction



So you’re all set with your significant other, and ready for a really good time and then it happens:  you can’t get it up. 

It happens to all of us. And it is nothing to be ashamed of either.  There can be all kinds of reasons for it.  You drank too much alcohol.  You ate too much food and your stomach needs the blood to digest it.  You’re too tired.  You masturbated too many times earlier today thinking about the big event tonight and you’re out of energy. Your smoking is catching up to you.   Or maybe even, you’re just a bit too familiar now with your partner and the thrill is gone. 

Whatever the reason, it is not the end of the world.  Just rest and try again later. 

If it happens occasionally, that is to be expected as we age.  (Although, a recent article in a national newspaper suggested that even college students are having ED issues!  But likely that is more about stress, nervousness and lack of experience, I hope!) 

If it starts happening all the time, then maybe you should tell your doctor.  

Erectile Dysfunction is a product of not enough blood getting into the penile arteries.  The question is why?  While it could be lack of desire, if it is happening all the time,  then, maybe there is another reason, something more pernicious.

As we get older, our doctors do their utmost to keep us healthier and alive.  Often that means putting you on drug regimens.  But did you know that many of those drugs actually can cause the ED we don’t want?  For instance, few people are aware that the statin drugs so widely used today to lower blood cholesterol also decrease the production of the male hormone testosterone. Diuretics, blood pressure medication, cimetidine, marijuana and chemotherapy also trigger ED. All told there are 48 drugs that hinder an erection.

The really bad news, however, is that your arteries could be blocked by cholesterol buildup.  Penile arteries are smaller by comparison to the other arteries in your body, and as a result can become blocked by fatty deposits long before the major arteries do.  What does that mean?  According to Dr. Gerald Brock, a London, Ontario urologist, ED is a good predictor of heart disease.  In fact, a steady bout of ED could indicate that a stroke, or a heart attack is likely within the next three years.  You can find more on this by visiting the docgiff.com website, where Dr. Ken Walker writes about erectile dysfunction and many other areas on general health.  That is where the reference to Dr. Gerald Brock originated. 

The good news is that if you treat it as an early warning system, then, no matter what your age, you can put a program in place to reverse your ED, which could save your life. 

I am not your doctor, so you should check with your doctor for his advice. 

But there are some simple and easy things you can do to clear up your arteries and reverse your ED.  The time to start is now.  If you want to know what one fellow did to reverse his ED, read about it in the e book The Pecker Helper Handbook, available at Nook, Kobo and Barnes and Noble or right here: The Pecker Helper Handbook I will talk more about them in a future article.
