Erectile Dysfunction could be a pointer to heart disease!

Yes, erectile dysfunction could be a pointer that you could be suffering from an underlying heart ailment. As we all know, our body is networked by arteries and veins; any obstruction in these blood vessels would interfere with the normal functioning of our body. So, when plaque is deposited on the inner lining of these vessels, the flow of blood, especially, to the heart and penis is affected.

Blocked arterial condition is responsible for ED as well as heart disease and is called atherosclerosis. This condition narrows your arteries and makes them harder, thus obstructing the flow of blood to various parts of the body. Erectile dysfunction is a pointer to heart disease because the arteries in the penis are smaller when compared to those of the heart. Hence, the blood flow in the penis is affected faster than the blood flow to your heart. Therefore, if you start having symptoms of ED, it would be wise to get yourself checked for a heart ailment too.

ED may not pose a risk to your life, but heart disease will. Get yourself tested before its too late.
