Treatment of impotence and coronary heart disease with the same etiology has similar effects
Post Date December, 03 2023
Sexual erectile dysfunction (impotence) makes it difficult for men to speak, and there are many reasons for sexual erectile dysfunction, including coronary heart disease.
First, coronary heart disease and erectile dysfunction (impotence) have the same etiology
Erectile dysfunction (impotence) and cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis have a common pathological basis - vascular endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, the treatment also has similar effects. That is, while improving vascular endothelial dysfunction, increasing blood supply to the heart, and treating coronary heart disease, the blood supply to the cavernous body of the penis is also improved, and erectile function is thus restored.
Secondly, coronary heart disease is closely related to erectile dysfunction (impotence)
The change of erectile function may be the initial clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can occur from coronary artery, aorta to penile artery. The clinical analysis found that the probability of complete ED in patients with heart disease was 39%, significantly higher than the incidence rate of 9.6% in the total male population.
Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, high body weight, advanced age, smoking, and other factors are risk factors for coronary heart disease. Hypertension can not only cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also reduce blood flow in the lower body due to arteriosclerosis, which affects the erectile function of the penis. Hyperlipidemia can cause atherosclerosis, which is one of the main risk factors for hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, and also one of the factors leading to ED. In addition, some lipid-lowering drugs also have adverse effects on sexual function, such as antomin, which has the side effects of reducing sexual desire and sexual activity.
In addition, surveys have shown that only 14.7% of male patients aged 48 to 65 who have had a normal sexual function for more than 2 years after myocardial infarction. In addition to the factors causing atherosclerosis in the penile artery, the patient's fear and apprehension can lead to the dysfunction of the cerebral cortex, and then affect the sexual function.
Therefore, while treating coronary heart disease, it can also have an effect on erectile dysfunction (impotence).
