High blood pressure may increase a man's risk of Erectile Dysfunction.
High blood pressure is high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are the "pipes" that carry blood from the pumping heart to all of the tissues and organs of the body. When blood pressure is high
(140/90 mm Hg or over) for a long time, these "pipes" get stiff or narrow, which keeps the blood from flowing easily throughout the body. Blood flow is critical to healthy erectile function.
Erectile problems are also more common among men with pre hypertension. Pre hypertension is higher-than-normal blood pressure but below the cut-off for high blood pressure.
2 out of 3 men having High Blood Pressure experienced Erectile Dysfunction according to a study.
In other words, if a man's blood pressure is anything but normal, he may have a higher risk of Erectile Dysfunction.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and High Cholesterol
Male Impotence could be an indicator of cholesterolemia, or high cholesterol. The risk of Male Impotence is much greater in men with a total cholesterol level above 7.5mmol/l
High cholesterol can cause plaque, a substance that narrows arteries in the body and can, in turn, interfere with blood flow. Blood flow is critical to healthy erectile function. Changes in erectile function may be a sign of Male Impotence.
It's natural and normal to want a healthy sex life, so if you think your high cholesterol may be affecting the quality of your erections, talk with your Doctor about treatment options. You can also obtain a FREE E-Consultation.

Erectile Dysfunction (Ed) and Diabetes
Diabetes may eventually lead to changes in erectile function. Like high cholesterol and high blood pressure, diabetes is a condition that can negatively impact blood flow. Healthy blood flow is critical to healthy erectile function. In fact, more than half of the men with diabetes will, over time, experience decreased erectile function.
When the glucose (sugar) levels in the blood are not properly controlled, the risk of Erectile Dysfunction (Male Impotence) increases.
Male Impotence is also known to occur at an earlier age in diabetic men when compared to men who do not have diabetes.
It's natural to want a healthy sex life, so if you see a change in your erection quality, learn the facts and start a discussion with your Doctor. Together you can explore treatment options. Your Doctor will take into account your overall health and any current pharmaceutical products you are already taking before making a decision on which therapy is best for you.
But there is a way to improve erectile function, even if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. Ask your Doctor about LEVITRA, a medication designed to treat ED by increasing the blood flow that affects getting and keeping an erection that lasts long enough to finish having sex.
