The erectile dysfunction seems to be narrowly linked with the cardiovascular inconveniences and other chronic illnesses, according to three studies divulged today by the magazine “File of Internal Medicate”.
The conclusion is removed of an analysis carried out by investigators of the School of Medicine David Geffen of the University of California and of the Project for Illnesses Urológicas in US.
The scientists indicated that in a questionnaire on sexual function that responded 2.126 men, that also they were submitted to a medical exam, was determined that the 18,4 percent of them sufría of erectile dysfunction (OF).
The investigation also established that the problem enlarges with the age, al to affect al 6,5 percent of men from among 20 and 29 years of age, and al 77,5 percent of the greater of 75.
The authors of the study indicated that besides the problems of the hypertension, other factors of discovered risk in that of are the obesity and the diabetes, as well as other problems related to the consumption of tobacco.
“The mitigation of these factors of risk would be able to reduce the load that supposes the erectile dysfunction”, according to the authors of the study.
That result coincided with another investigation carried out by doctors of the Hospitals of the University of Chicago, that carried out an evaluation of 221 men with an average of age of 58,6 years.
In an exam to determine heart inconveniences, the 54,8 percent of them told to suffer from, a problem that enlarges according to the age of the patient.
According to the authors, a greater number of men that sufrían the dysfunction they suffered an upper level of heart problems, diabetes and hypertension in comparison with those whose sexual function was normal.
The relation would be able to help the doctors to establish the existence of a greater risk of heart illnesses and other chronic problems in patients with OF, they indicated the scientists.
“To consult the patients on its sexual functions could be useful to establish the coronary illnesses risk levels”, declared the study.
In turn, Canadian doctors of the General Hospital of Montreal and of the University McGill indicated that an exam of the medical record of 3.921 men from among 44 and 88 years indicated that almost the half of them (the 49,4 percent) sufría ED.
The investigation also established that who they suffered cardiovascular illnesses and diabetes sufrían in greater measure that of that who did not they have that problem of sexual dysfunction.
“These data show that, al to investigate the sexual function, the doctors of family can obtain important clinical information that goes beyond the detection of OF”, the authors of this study said.
