Erectile Dysfunction Can Possibly be Treated with Lifestyle Modifications
In the first journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine, an article appeared titled, “The Incidence, Prevalence, and Natural History of Erectile Dysfunction“. The article (from Department of Urology, St. James University Hospital, Leeds, UK) covered some important points worth sharing with our readers:
1. “The varying methodologies, definitions, and populations make comparison difficult, but in high-quality studies there is a consistent association with age, and analytical studies suggest an association with cardiovascular risk factors, depression, and lower urinary tract symptoms. There is emerging evidence of a link with smoking and obesity.”
2. “Remission was commoner in younger men, suggesting that in these men psychological and lifestyle factors might be the cause of temporary self-limiting ED.”
3. “These studies also suggest that lifestyle modifications might be helpful in the prevention and treatment of ED.”

For readers, the lifestyle modification the authors speak of in the paper are identification and control of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (which promotes atherosclerosis), depression, and lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS), the latter a term that use to be called prostatism. These conditions tend to occur in older rather than younger men, and have been long-established as risk factors for erectile dysfunction.
Biotech: Yeah, it sounds like one of those no-brainers. Diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, BPH, etc. No kidding!? Anything that inhibits blood flow to the penis, right? I do like the lifestyle thing improving the condition, however. Of course, there is always Viagra and the others if all else fails.
The best cure for ED that is psychogenic, and/or related to hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol is 2.5mgs of Xanax (Alprazolam) with 50mgs of Viagra taken all at the same time. Kill two birds with one stone.
