Link between Smoking and Erectile Dysfunction

posted: Thursday, August 02, 2007 | Categories: Erectile Dysfunction | Mens Health | Smoking

A study in China involving 7,684 men has concluded that smoking can be a major contributory factor to erectile dysfunction. This is something that we have long suspected but this authoritative piece of research to be published in the American Journal of Epidemiology demonstrated that the statistical link is significant.

There appeared to be a direct correlation between the quantity of cigarettes smoked and the incidence or severity of the erectile problems. There also appeared to be a stronger association in participants who also had diabetes. The study included men aged 35-75 who did not have any vascular disease.

Help is at hand here if you want to give up smoking. We are prepared to prescribe Champix for smoking cessation and there are a number of treatments for erectile dysfunction, including Viagra , that we are also prepared to prescribe. As always, whether we will prescribe something will depend on your medical circumstances so you must complete a consultation form before we can make a decision.
