Do you know there are many ailments that could hamper the functions
of a man’s manhood and lead to a shorter life? The many weaknesses of the
manhood that could affect longevity
of a man were discussed by Dr. Tobias Köhler, an associate professor of
urology at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. Read all below:
Facts About Your
Manhood That Could Cut Short Your Life
- A new study from The University of Mississippi says if you
are incapable of getting and sustaining erection, you have a 70 percent
increased risk for premature death.
- If you have erectile dysfunction, it is likely that you
have poor
cardiovascular health, says Dr. Tobias Köhler.
- So, if you’re unable to get hard, it’s often an early sign
that your heart could be in trouble.
- Many men whose erectile dysfunction is caused by poor
cardiovascular health end up having life-threatening heart problems such as a
heart attack within the next five years, says Dr. Köhler.
- The vessels that carry blood to your penis are tiny, only
one to two millimetres across, so they get clogged easily, says Dr. Köhler.
- If plaque starts to build up in your vessels because of
poor diet, a lack of exercise, smoking,
age, or genetics, the blood flow to your penis
is the first thing that will get blocked off. This can make it impossible to
get an erection, Dr. Köhler reveals.
- If the plaque continues to build, it will start affecting
larger arteries, such as the ones that carry blood to and from your heart. This
can cause
a heart attack or sudden death.
- If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction, it is very
necessary to see a doctor—instead of using Viagra or any of such sexual
performance enhancing medication.
- If you heed the early warning signs, you may be able to
fix your cardiovascular
problems before they become fatal.
- If you’ve been consistently unable to get or sustain
erection for three months, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as
possible, says Dr. Köhler.
- Tell your doctor about your erection problems — and make
it the first thing you bring up, so your doctor has time to thoroughly check
you out, he says.
- If blocked arteries are the problems, an improved diet and
exercise regimen may reverse the damage and get your penis
back in working order, he says.
- Your physician may also give you an erectile drug like
Viagra to help your sex
life in the meantime.
Conclusion: Do
not be ashamed of seeking help. If you know there is something wrong with your
sexual organ, quickly book a date with your doctor. Aside from the fact that this
erectile dysfunction can cause a shorter a life, it can also hamper the ability
to father a child. So, visit the hospital today.
