30 minutes of this Exercise can Prevent Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction affects around 55 percent of Mexican men between the ages of 40 and 70, as indicated by figures provided by the Mexican Ministry of Health. ED is the inability to achieve or maintain a firm erection in order to have a satisfying sexual relationship.

Erectile dysfunction is not only a problem with sexual health; it can also occur due to bad surgery or an injury to the penis, spine, prostate, bladder, or pelvis.

Doctor Armando González Sánchez, a surgeon who graduated from UNAM and medical manager of Laboratorios Serral said, “The incidence of erectile dysfunction increases with age, from the age of 40, although some young people suffer from other causes; however, it is not necessarily an essential part of the aging process, as there are men who do not suffer from it even in old age.”

How to Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

A study conducted at Harvard University found that walking daily for as little as 30 minutes can cut the risk of erectile dysfunction by as much as 41 percent. Similarly, it is believed that pelvic floor exercise helps to prevent these problems.

However, medications like tadalafil or sildenafil can be used to treat erectile dysfunction, a vascular problem that usually occurs when the blood flow to the penis is insufficient or there are problems with its arteries or vessels.

In a Grupo Somar podcast, the specialist explained that these drugs shouldn’t be used as aphrodisiacs since combining them or taking more of them than prescribed might lead to a lifelong dependence on achieving firmness in the penis or, worse, can result in priapism, which is a prolonged and painful erection that requires immediate medical attention.

In addition, using these medications can result in a variety of adverse side effects, including but not limited to headaches, flushing, runny nose, low blood pressure, and nosebleeds. Persons who have severe arrhythmias, hypotension, heart difficulties, people who have had a heart attack or stroke, as well as people who have liver problems, should not take it.
