Often, erection problems are associated with an unhealthy lifestyle. General practitioner Neil Patel spoke about this, Express writes.
According to him, the risk factor is, among other things, inactivity. Lack of regular physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle can cause a deterioration in blood circulation and the general condition of the cardiovascular system, the doctor explained.
Another factor he called unhealthy diet. So, frequent consumption of processed foods, refined sugars and unhealthy fats can lead to the development of various diseases, including diabetes, which can cause erectile dysfunction. Smoking can also lead to this. Tobacco use, including vaping, causes damage to blood vessels and restricts blood flow, including to the penis, the doctor said.
Among other risk factors, he singled out excessive alcohol consumption, stress and poor mental health, relationship problems, and the use of certain medications.
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get or maintain an erection. Most often, this problem is caused by a decrease in blood flow to the penis.
