“It is very common for men with erectile dysfunction who have a physical cause of their erectile problems, to also experience some psychological effects.
It would be best, therefore, for any man who has erection difficulties to talk about the possible physical and psychological causes with his doctor, nurse or diabetes specialist.”
Have you discussed this problem with you health care team? What treatments have worked for you? If this is not a problem for you, yet, what strategies are you putting into place to reduce your risk of it becoming a problem?
New Australian research has found men suffering even mild erectile dysfunction could have heart disease without knowing it.
The Sax Institute’s 45 and Up Study is one of the largest on-going studies of healthy ageing in the world.
Doctors who looked at more than 95,000 men found that erectile dysfunction may be a symptom of cardiovascular disease.
The study found that men with erectile dysfunction have a higher risk of being admitted to hospital with heart disease, even if they have no history of heart problems.
This is because erectile dysfunction can indicate problems with blood vessels and poor blood flow.
The study notes that erectile dysfunction is common, with an estimated 40 per cent of men over 40 experiencing it.
