Erectile or sexual dysfunction is more common in men than most of you would imagine. While official figures confirm the figure to be around 40%, reality could be higher since a lot of men prefer privacy in such matters. There may be many contributing reasons for this starting from stress and depression to physiological changes like age and drop in the testosterone levels. Some lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking and taking recreational drugs could also be the reason for this.
Anything that impedes blood flow to the penile region can adversely affect erections. It is now known that without proper blood flow to the penis there can never be any erection.
Smoking causes a significant reduction in the number of erection a man has while asleep. This reduction in nocturnal erections is indicative of a problem and that enough blood is not flowing for a proper erection. According to Lahey Hitchcock Medical Center, Burlington, Massachusetts, extreme amount of smoking causes this. It has also been noticed that when one stops smoking even for a day, it can bring back involuntary nightly erections.
Teenagers who are heavy smokers can expect their semen quality to suffer very badly. Over and above the sperm volume and mobility gets affected. This not only tampers with the possibility of becoming a father but may also result in their children born with severe genetic abnormalities from damaged DNA got from either parent.
Likewise it has also been seen that men who drink heavily suffer more from sexual problems than men who drink in moderation. Not only does alcohol inhibit performance but it also affects libido which makes erection impossible.
Thus to enjoy a rewarding sex life, choose a healthy lifestyle. Balanced diet and regular exercise keeps your sexual energy flowing and health glowing. There are effective herbal therapies available for the treatment of erectile dysfunction which acts as an aphrodisiac and pumps in more blood to the penis.
