Alcohol V/s Erectile Dysfunction

It is clear that the statistics on erectile dysfunction cases is far from being precise. Nevertheless, the number of men with erection problems tends to increase due to both medical states and people’s style of life. Moreover, the issue is becoming a rather widespread one for all the countries of the world. The situation is even more complex as too often men have difficulties in discussing their state with a professional. But gradually people become more tolerant to the realities of erectile dysfunction, ready for various forms of treatment that are offered for solving the problem.

The increased risk of erectile dysfunction is often associated with health problems connected with stress. Among the most common reasons of inadequate erection are diabetes, hypertension, injuries and some other medical conditions. Another key aspect of healthy sexual life is the man’s psychological state. Depressive disorders and excess anxiety may lead to erection issues. At the same time, alcohol and alcoholism have been long known as the factors that are directly connected with erectile dysfunction.
The role of alcohol in erection problems is widely covered in specialized literature and publications. It is a proven cause of certain risk factors, which in their turn may result in erectile dysfunction. Almost everyone knows that alcohol increases erotic attraction, but at the same time it affects sexual performance negatively, making it difficult to achieve and maintain a firm enough erection.
Sexual reactions of the body depend on our nervous system greatly. Being a depressant, alcohol changes reactions and stimulations in brain. Constant or large doses of alcohol inhibit nervous activity. As a result, it becomes problematic to sustain sexual intercourse after alcohol intake. Alcohol in the blood system expands or widens the blood vessels of the penis. Consequently, even a strong erection would not maintain as the blood flows off rapidly making the penis relaxed again. Even if not totally impossible, sexual intercourse becomes awkward and hardly brings satisfaction to any of the partners. Moreover, toxins from alcohol remain in the body for hours after drinking.
Erectile dysfunction is able to worsen the man’s life and health considerably. Good news is that erection problems can be overcome when they depend on one’s attitude to alcohol. Alcohol-related issues with sex will be gone as soon as the way of life changes. To begin with, go for a medical consultation to analyze possible interrelation between drinking and erectile dysfunction. Your physician might recommend a course of medicines along with professional consultations regarding drinking.
To free from erection problems, try new approaches to your lifestyle. Healthy habits will help to get rid and/or to prevent causes of erectile dysfunction, or at least to make them manageable. Moreover, drinking modestly is good not only for sexual life but for general state of health and condition. And vice versa, alcohol ruins the reproductive system along with other key organs.
