Erectile Problems and Heart Disease
May 4, 2010
If you’re a male experiencing some degree of erectile dysfunction, i.e., your erections are less firm, less long-lasting, or non-existent, you may be at higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Lower testosterone levels are another warning sign that your doctor can monitor.
Men who are worried about changes in their erections may be too embarrassed to discuss their concerns with their doctors. There’s no reason for embarrassment — no matter what you have to say, your doctor will have heard it before. So make the appointment and speak up. Erectile changes are often due to the natural effects of stress, fatigue, or aging; however, you can’t know for sure unless your doctor checks you out and says nothing more serious is going on.
