Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic



If heart disease, stroke and certain cancers haven’t been reason enough for men to quit smoking, consider this: The habit also increases the risk of erectile dysfunction and hearing problems.

In fact, emerging research shows that men with a pack –a – day habit are almost 40 percent more likely to struggle with erectile dysfunction than men, who doesn’t smoke. Smoking delivers nicotine and other vasoconstrictors that close down the blood vessels of the penis, explained Dr Jack Mydlo, chairman of urology at temple university school of medicine and hospital in Philadelphia.

Erectile dysfunction also called “ED” or impotence is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection or repeated occasions. It is estimated that about two every 100 American men have erectile dysfunction serious enough to warrant a doctor’s visit, according to the US National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney disorders. As men age, the risk of erectile dysfunction increase

A recent study of more than 8,000 Australians men between the age of 16 and 59 found that those who smoked less than a pack a day had a 24 percent increased risk of erectile problems. And as the number of Cigarettes smoked went up so too did the chances of erectile dysfunction .
Those men, who averaged more than 20 Cigarette a day increased their risk of erectile dysfunction by 39 percent, reported the study, published in journal Tobacco control. Another study, this one published in the America journal of Epidemiology found that male smokers in the 40s were more likely to experience erectile difficulties than older non-smoking males. The risk of erectile dysfunction were nearly doubled for smoking men in their 40s compared to non smokers in their 50s. Smoking because it caused blood vessel constriction is a very big cause of erectile dysfunction said Dr Larry Lipshaltz, Chief of male reproduction medicine at Baylor college of medicine in Houston.
Smoking isn’t the only cause of ms said Larry added, impotence problems other life style habits can have a big impact on men sexual health. Obesity heavy alcohol consumption and recreational drug use can all cause erectile dysfunction. And a sedentary life style can also contribute to erectile difficulties in three major ways by reducing blood flow, causing nerve damage or changing the hormonal environment while there are medications that can help treat erectile dysfunction both mydlo and lipshultz adavocated a healthy good sexual health.
Take better care of your self. make sure you are not Obese, eat well, exercise and if you have diabetes or hypertension , make sure they are re-controlled. You may not need medication to treat erectile dysfunction.
Mydlo advice adding stop smoking, drink in moderation, lose weight, maintain good blood pressure. One more word of caution . Don’t use ED medications Viagra, Cialis . If you don’t need them. Erections that last longer than four hours priaiism can cause permanent impotence. Its not a good ideal to use these drugs casually
Meanwhile Teenagers who smoker or whose mother smoked in pregnancy are higher risk of hearing problems and understanding what is being said to them. A united state study says.
In tests on 67 teenagers Yale university found those exposed to smoke had trouble focusing and interpreting sounds when there was a distraction and the team said that scans showed exposed changed the white matter responding for transmitting messages. The findings were reported in New Scientist Magazine. The team carried out brain scans on the teenagers and found those exposed to smoke were likely to have more white matter.
Smoking is dangerous to health. Be wise
Thanks.
