Irregular Sexual Activity Can Lead To Erectile Dysfunction Over The Years - Say Researchers
In recent study researchers found that, absence of sexual activity or desire for a long period of time may result in erectile dysfunction. In comparison, men that had regular sex and experienced fantasies and feelings were less prone to ED. An estimated 15 to 30 million men in the US face problems of erectile dysfunction. The research was to find an advanced treatment for the condition.
Lack of sexual desire and activity for a length of time, researchers assert are pointers to an onset of ED. Soliciting medical intervention during this early phase, may help prevent a complete loss of erectile function. Susan A Hall, PhD from the New England Research Institute reported these findings at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA).
In some cases, the research found that in spite of a healthy libido, the body was unable to respond satisfactorily, because of health conditions. In such cases, erections were too soft for sex or lasted very briefly. The mechanics of a healthy erection occur when blood fills into two chambers known as corpora cavernosa triggering the penis to stiffen and expand like a balloon. The impulses from the brain and the genital nerves make this possible. However, any blockage of the impulses or blood flow to the penis results in Erectile Dysfunction.
Lifestyle changes early during the onset of ED however can reverse the condition. Exercising regularly and following a healthy stress free lifestyle, without anxiety or depression improves sexual health. If you are a smoker, kicking the habit will most certainly improve matters. Listen to the researchers, and have wholesome sex regularly to stay healthy and prevent erectile dysfunction.
