Erectile Dysfunction and Other Health Risks

Research has shown recently that erectile dysfunction can be an early warning symptom of important diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Erectile dysfunction predicts and precedes the metabolic syndrome several years in advances. Similarly erectile dysfunction predicts and precedes a heart attack 3 years in advance. Such new information affords a great warning for middle aged men to go to the doctor and get the appropriate evaluation. Furthermore, sexual health becomes the portal to men’s health motivating men to pursue healthy lifestyle such as weight control, physical exercise, quitting smoking and controlling alcohol.
