Should Men With Should Men With Erectile Dysfunction Be Concerned About Heart Disease?

The Shocking Truth About Erectile Dysfunction and Heart Disease

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Dallas TXAll men need to be concerned about the link between erectile dysfunction and heart disease.

Erectile dysfunction can cause men more than simply trouble in the bedroom.

ED can be a symptom of or related to some other potentially more serious conditions. One of these is heart disease.

According to the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, medical research has discovered a very strong link between erectile dysfunction and heart disease. Several studies have shown that if a man has ED, he has a greater risk of having heart disease.

Several studies have shown that if a man has ED, he has a greater risk of having heart disease. For instance, in one study, 57% of men who had bypass surgery and 64% of men hospitalized for a heart attack also had problems with ED.

Another study found that having ED can predict that a man will probably have heart disease symptoms within five years. In fact, having ED is as much a risk factor for heart disease as a history of smoking or a family history of coronary artery disease.

Why is this so?

Because the causes of erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease have something in common, the root cause of both conditions is “clogged arteries” or poor blood flow.

We have long known that the incidence of ED increases with age. We now know why. While lifestyle and other factors indeed play a role, most instances of “age-related” ED are the result of plaque buildup in the arteries that supply blood to the penis.

As men age, the vessels in the penis weaken, contract, and fill with micro-plaque. This is remarkably similar to the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries that can lead to cardiovascular disease. In the case of the vessels that supply blood to the penis, the damage results in men having a harder time getting and maintaining an erection.

The decrease in blood flow also causes the penis to lose sensitivity, which not only impairs erectile function but also makes it more difficult for a man to achieve an orgasm or to obtain another orgasm soon after the climax.

The arteries that supply the blood necessary for good erectile function are not just in the penis. There are a series of arteries starting in the pelvis that supply the blood necessary for a good-quality erection.

When a man is experiencing erectile dysfunction, particularly a man over 40, that probably means at least some of the blood vessels on that pathway have weakened. The arteries do not have to be fully blocked for the lining of the vessels to have narrowed enough to impair erectile function.

The good for ED suffers is that we know treatments available that do not just address the symptoms of ED – like oral ED meds – but that go right to the cause of ED – poor blood flow!

What Every Man Should Know About Treating Erectile Dysfunction!

Erectile Dysfunction Treatments Dallas TXThe advent of drugs like Viagra first revolutionized ED treatments. However, Viagra and related drugs are not recommended for all men.

In fact, they are not to be used by men with high blood pressure or other forms of heart disease – the very population that the studies mentioned above say is more likely to be suffering from ED!

Furthermore, even for guys who can take oral ED medications, these drugs only treat the symptoms of ED – they do nothing to address the root cause – poor blood flow!

However, drugs or surgery are no longer your only options for treating ED. And these newer treatments have been designed to treat the root cause of ED — insufficient blood flow to the penis.

If you have tried any of the popular ED medications and have been dissatisfied with your results, or if you cannot take oral ED meds because you have high blood pressure or other medical conditions, Dallas Anti-Aging & Wellness offers men-proven alternative ED solutions.

Oral ED drugs only treat the symptoms of ED. Our solutions go right to the source of erectile dysfunction – poor blood flow!

The revolutionary, drug-free, surgery-free ED treatments we offer include:

  • P-Shot – The Priapus Shot (P-Shot) uses Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

    After a simple, pain-free injection, the PRP in the P-shot stimulates the growth factors in your own blood to increase blood flow to the penis, resulting in stronger, harder, and bigger erections and, in some instances, enhancing length, girth, and an overall more youthful appearance of your penis.

  • Big D Wave™ The Big D Wave™  is the latest ED treatment to hit the market.

    This proprietary procedure utilizes pulsed, or waved energy, to increase the flow of blood to the penis. The gentle, painless waves open up old, blocked blood vessels, as well as stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis.
