Exercise found to be almost as effective as Sildenafil in overcoming erectile dysfunction.

A trio of medical scientists have found that many men with erectile dysfunction can solve many of their problems simply by doing aerobic exercise In this study, reported in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, Mohit Khera, Sameer Bhattacharya and Larry Miller analyzed the results of 11 randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of exercise and drugs such as Sildenafil on treating men with erectile dysfunction.

Previous studies have shown that many older men face the problem of being unable to achieve an erection when they want to have sex. In the new study, researchers found that erectile dysfunction is often linked to cardiovascular health and related conditions such as inflammation, narrowing and hardening of the arteries. It has also been shown that regular aerobic exercise can reduce symptoms of cardiovascular disease. So researchers wondered if this approach could help men with erectile dysfunction.

To find out, the researchers searched several databases containing information related to erectile dysfunction research. They found 11 randomized controlled trials in which volunteers with erectile dysfunction were prescribed medication to treat symptoms and others were prescribed exercise.

The results showed that prescribing aerobic exercise was almost as effective as prescribing medications such as Sildenafil. Specifically, of the 1,100 men who participated in the study, 600 exercised for 30-60 minutes three to five times a week. Another 500 were part of the control group.

The scientists involved in the study found that the volunteers who participated in the physical therapy improved erectile function by five points. The more severe the symptoms, the greater the improvement. Volunteers who took Cenforce or Cialis also improved between four and eight points, while those who took testosterone improved by only two points.

The researchers noted that exercise, unlike medications, has few side effects.

ED means an increased risk of heart disease, independent of other risk factors.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) poses an increased cardiovascular risk independent of other risk factors such as cholesterol levels, smoking and high blood pressure, according to a new study published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation. In the study, which followed more than 1,900 men aged 60 to 78 over four years, those who complained of […]

Genetic Cause Linking Erectile Dysfunction and Type 2 Diabetes Discovered

For men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, it can cause extraordinary emotional distress, disrupt relationships, and be a red light for other serious health conditions such as circulation and blood pressure problems. Our new study, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, shows that erectile dysfunction (ED) has a genetic component. We found strong […]

Beware of Natural Supplements for Increased Sexual Desire and Weight Loss

Many consumers believe that nutritional supplements are natural and therefore safe. In fact, the Council for Responsible Nutrition reported in 2017 that 87% of U.S. consumers believe that nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, plant foods, oils, microbiome bacteria, and amino acids are safe and effective and effective, according to the report. Unfortunately, their […]

Exercising can stave off erectile dysfunction

Exercise is good for the heart, blood pressure, joints and muscles, as well as improving mood. If these benefits of walking, running and swimming aren’t enough, they may also improve erectile function in men who are sedentary, overweight, have atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. This is the conclusion of a new study in which scientists […]

Exercise may ameliorate one of the most common and devastating side effects of prostate cancer treatment.

Prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in the world, not only puts the lives of diagnosed patients at risk, but the side effects of treatment can severely impact their quality of life. However, a new long-term clinical trial led by Edith Cowan University (ECU) and presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s […]

Penile fibroblasts are more important for erectile function than previously thought

Regular erections may be important for maintaining erectile function, a new study on mice by scientists from Karolinska Institutet has found. We found that when the frequency of erections increases, the number of erection-supporting fibroblasts increases, and conversely, when the frequency of erections decreases, the number of these cells decreases,” says principal investigator Christian Gerrits. […]

Sildenafil in the treatment of erectile dysfunction: an overview of the clinical evidence

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common condition associated not only with aging but also with risk factors such as hypertension, heart disease, obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypogonadism, medications and pelvic surgery. Many of these factors are components of metabolic syndrome, a multiple risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) ED is one of the common risk […]

Concomitant use of erectile dysfunction medications and common chest pain medications may increase risk of death

Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i), marketed under names such as Viagra, Levitra and Sialis, are common drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, a new Swedish study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that patients are at risk for higher long-term morbidity […]

Brazilian Banana Spider Helps Treat Erectile Dysfunction.

Thirty years ago, Brazilian researchers began studying the strange side effects of banana spider bites. The scientists came up with the idea of developing a synthetic molecule that would exploit the properties of the spider’s venom to create a gel to treat erectile dysfunction. This spider, which is covered with thick brown hairs and can […]
