Diseases That Can Lead To Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a health condition that leads to the inability of a man to achieve or maintain the rise of his private organ.

According to VeryWellHealth, diseases that can lead to dysfunction in male organ rise are:

1. Diabetes and Heart Disease

ED is common in men with both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

A study showed that more than half of men with diabetes have ED due to elevated blood glucose levels brought on by diabetes damage to blood vessels and nerves throughout the body, as well as those in the male organ.

The longer a man has suffered from diabetes, the more prone he is to have ED, particularly if his levels of blood glucose have not been well regulated. Complications of accompanying conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol can also carry out a role in ED. A man having diabetes who also smokes spikes his risk of developing ED.

Heart disease and diabetes are often associated with each other because coronary artery damage is a complication of diabetes also. Coronary artery disease can also affect intercourse function on its own, but ED is 9 times as likely in men who have both coronary artery disease and diabetes than in men who have only diabetes.

2. Hypertension

Given that a male organ rise relies on the adequate circulation of blood to the male organ, it’s easy to see how any condition or medical issue affecting the heart and other structures in the cardiovascular system might affect male organ rise function. This is particularly true for hypertension.

Although experts don’t understand exactly how this condition can cause ED, a theory is that high arterial pressure in the small vessels of the male organ may lead to microscopic tears in the vessel walls. In the process of repairing these tears, the arteries get thicker and there may be a low supply of needed blood to the spongy

“erectile” tissues of the male organ.
