Study Shows ED Often Accompanied by Other Sexual Problems
A recent study by researchers at the New York Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center has some shocking results: it found that men with erectile dysfunction are also suffering from a lot of other sexual problems which no little blue pill is going to fix. Over 12,000 men with erectile dysfunction took part in the study. Of these men, 65% could not have orgasms and 58% had difficulties achieving ejaculation.
These results show us what is already obvious to medical experts: all aspects of sexual health are linked. If you are having problems with your erections, then you probably are going to have problems in other aspects of your sexual life. Other studies have already shown the link between low libido and ED and this study furthers the evidence of links. The shocking part of the study though is that even men with mild ED had orgasm and ejaculation problems, especially premature ejaculation.
It is clear that the ED drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are not taking care of the entire picture. ED drugs will only help improve blood flow to the penis. They are not going to get your libido going, help ejaculations, or improve sexual satisfaction. While there are various natural remedies available for these problems, they have been largely ignored by the professional medical world.
The study was funded by the pharmaceutical company Lilly, which makes the ED drug Cialis. It will be interesting to see how the results of this study are interpreted for improving male sexual health treatment. The second phase of the study, which has yet to begin, will study the exact mechanisms of ejaculation and orgasm. The goal is to determine whether hormone therapies, such as testosterone replacement therapy, will be useful in treating these conditions. That may mean that men will be prescribed testosterone along with their ED drug in the future.
It will likely be a long way off before any definitive treatment is established for the full range of sexual problems that come with ED. So, what do men do in the meantime? If you are suffering from ejaculation or orgasm problems, there are numerous home cures which can help.
