Can dental disease cause impotence?? is that true? Let's take a look.
Dental diseases and male erectile dysfunction (ED) appear to be disjointed. However, a new study conducted in Türkiye on March 27 found that men with serious dental problems were at double risk of erectile dysfunction.
Researchers from Innu University in Türkiye compared a group of men with erectile dysfunction and a group of men with normal sexual function. The results showed that 53% of men with erectile dysfunction had serious dental diseases, while 23% of healthy men in the control group.
Researchers found that bacteria enter the blood system through the bleeding point of gingiva, damage blood vessels and arteries, cause blood vessels to narrow, and then affect the normal blood supply of all organs, including male penis, and damage erectile function.
Dr. Nigel Carter, head of the British Dental Health Foundation, said that men with oral health and sexual interest should pay special attention to symptoms related to oral health, such as gingival bleeding, tooth loosening, gingival swelling or atrophy, dental calculus, and seek medical treatment in time to avoid affecting the lives of couples.
