mpotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) is often associated with older men, but this is about to change. Recent studies pulled statistics showing that elderly gents aren’t the only ones grappling with this problem. Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and the Children’s Memorial Hospital research observed 234 18- to 25-year-old sexually active guy college students.
Around 13 percent of the young males said they’d had Erectile Dysfunction. ED is what happens when men are unable to get or maintain erections fit for intercourse about 25 percent of the time. The new findings contradict long-held beliefs that only the elderly gents experience ED.
Impotence And Young Men
The causes of ED in the younger set are different from those of the older population. Impotence among younger guys normally come from a bunch of psychological factors â€" like anxiety and stress at work, personal issues, and others. Pressure of school or office stress plays a role in causing ED in male youths. What’s more, men and women who have a lot on their minds are usually too distracted to enjoy healthy sex lives. Guilt and depression are other possible culprits for impotence in the younger generation.
Another big impotence contributor is performance anxiety. Whether it’s a guy’s first time to do the deed or anxiety stemming from having relations with someone he shouldn’t be involved with, nerves or fear of becoming intimate with that person can immobilize a guy and render him impotent.
ED and depression are also said to be generally linked. A Massachusetts Male-Aging Study revealed that there is 1.8-times more ED prevalence among depressed patients. Moreover, ED has been known to worsen states of depression. Multiple studies have shown that successful ED treatment helps with improving depression.
Lifestyle factors also contribute to the occurrence of erectile dysfunction. Smoking cigarettes has a huge impact on the health of blood vessels all over the body. A 006 study printed in the Journal of Urology says that smokers are about 1.5 times likelier to encounter erectile dysfunction than non-smokers.
Aside from smoking’s more obvious implications to health â€" including heart disease, lung cancer and bronchitis, smoking also brings with it greater risk of infertility and impotence in both women and men.
The good news is â€" there are ways to keep ED at bay in younger men. Regular exercise of at least 20 minutes to half an hour each day helps. Engaging in relaxing activities will ease stress levels. Depression or anxiety must be dealt with as soon as they come up. Limit alcohol and drugs intake. A good night’s sleep means snoozing for six to eight hours a night. See a doctor regularly for checkups and medical screening examinations.
Impotence can happen to any guy anytime. He could be past 60 or just pushing 30, and still suffer from erectile dysfunction. It doesn’t matter what age a man comes across ED, what’s important is to get at the cause of the impotence and have the necessary treatment. Living healthy doesn’t hurt either.
