Dental disease and male erectile dysfunction (ED) seem to be irrelevant. However, according to the Daily Mail on March 27, a new study in Türkiye found that the risk of erectile dysfunction doubled for men with serious dental diseases.
Researchers from Inonu University in Türkiye conducted a comparative study on a group of men with erectile dysfunction and a group of men with normal sexual function. The results showed that 53% of male patients with erectile dysfunction had severe dental disease; The incidence rate of serious dental disease was only 23% among healthy men in the control group.
Researchers have analyzed and pointed out that when dental disease occurs, bacteria will enter the blood system through the bleeding point of the gingiva, damage blood vessels and arteries, cause hardening and narrowing of blood vessels, and then affect the normal blood supply of all organs, including the male penis, and damage the male erectile function.
In this regard, Dr. Nigel Carter, the head of the British Dental Health Foundation, pointed out that oral health is closely related to sex. Men should pay special attention to oral health and dental symptoms, such as gum bleeding, bad breath, loose teeth, swollen or atrophic gums, tartar and dental calculus. Once there is a problem, they should go to the doctor in time to avoid affecting the life of the couple.
