Erectile Dysfunction - An Early Warning For Heart Diseases |
Heart is rightly called the powerhouse of the body as every action and reaction in our body, either physical or emotional owes its relationship to the heart. If you fall in love it is called a matter of the heart and if you have ‘performance problems’ in lovemaking it may serve as an early warning sign for today’s most notorious lifestyle diseases â€" heart disease. Here ‘performance problem’ is referred to sexual dysfunction in men when a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection necessary for sexual activity, to satisfy his needs or that of his partner. This condition in men is medically termed erectile dysfunction (ED) or commonly impotence.
Performance problems in bed do not necessarily indicate impotence unless the condition persists continuously for a prolonged period of time. Research has proved that there is an intricate co-relation between erectile dysfunction and an impending cardiovascular disease. Erectile dysfunction is mainly caused by the hardening or clogging of penile arteries caused by high levels of cholesterol or arterial damage, generating plaque deposition in the 2mm diameter blood vessels leading to the penis which does not allow enough blood flow to the penis on sexual arousal. Since blockage of blood vessels in the penis occurs earlier than in the carotid and coronary arteries, ED is often the first signals of heart disease that the men’s body sends out.
Latest studies reveal that erectile dysfunction may be caused by a reduced amount of nitric oxide in the blood vessels of the penis. In men suffering from impotence the level of nitric oxide are low, so blood vessels cannot allow blood to reach the penis. In such a situation, viagra, the prescription oral ED treatment drug can be regarded as the perfect choice. Viagra, since its launch has been a favorite among its consumers and doctors alike. Its main active ingredient Sildenafil citrate works by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation and allows increased blood flow thus facilitating erection. Viagra taken an hour before sexual activity ensures performance for 4 hours. But if we sideline pleasure for the moment and concentrate on the equation between ED and heart, there is a deeper concern for the matter.
Experts recommend that instead of just getting a prescription to treat the condition, men suffering from erectile dysfunction should see a physician who can check for underlying vascular problems. So along with outshining your performance with Viagra as your aid; have a cardiac stress test done to be sure and safe for, you are doing everything for ‘Matters of the Heart’.
