Link Found Between Obesity And Erectile
Dysfunction
Oct 29, 2008, Medical News Today
A new study states that obese men with erectile dysfunction (ED) are shown
to have low levels of hormones, such as testosterone. The findings also show
that certain conditions associated with obesity, particularly hypertension,
are the most important determinants of obesity-related erectile dysfunction
(ED). The study was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, the
official journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine.
The link between obesity and male potency dates from the Byzantine era, when
it was thought that a large stomach impaired a man's ability to have sexual
intercourse. A large body of evidence has substantiated the possible
negative effects of obesity on male sexual function. This is particularly
significant today, as the prevalence of obesity has more than doubled in the
last 25 years. Excess abdominal fat, cardiovascular disease, high blood
lipids and type-2 diabetes characterize a condition known as metabolic
syndrome, which has recently been associated with erectile dysfunction.
The study included 2,435 male patients who sought treatment at an outpatient
clinic for sexual dysfunction between 2001 and 2007. The results showed that
obesity was significantly associated with a higher physical contribution to
ED, while there was no difference seen with relational or psychological
determinants. As the severity level of obesity increased, levels of
testosterone decreased (two out of three patients with morbid obesity had
low testosterone). Obese patients were also more likely to have
abnormalities in penile blood flow. Psychological disturbances related to
obesity did not seem to play a major role in developing obesity-related ED.
"The link between obesity and ED might be a useful motivation for men to
improve their health-related lifestyle choices," says Dr. Mario Maggi,
co-author of the study.
"This is a landmark study in that it shows that sexual health is clearly
linked to overall health, and that improving one's general health provides a
man the opportunity to improve his erectile function" states Dr. Irwin
Goldstein, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine."
