Study Says that ED and Depression are Linked
by John Dugan OwnerED: two of the most terrifying words a man can ever hear in
connection with his male organ health. Yet it’s something which is not
uncommon. According to one source, about 10% of men between the ages of 40 and
70 have severe or complete ED, and 25% more have moderate or intermittent cases
of it. That’s a full one-third of men in that age range affected to
some degree by enlarged difficulties. That’s one reason why it’s important to
know the possible causes of ED, so that it can be properly treated. And
increasingly, it seems that depression can be one of those possible causes.
For years, many doctors have noticed that many men with ED are
also depressed – and understandably so. After all, men place an enormous amount
of importance on their bedroom prowess, so if problems develop “down there,” it
can be devastating for some men. But there has been some disagreement of a
“chicken or the egg” nature about depression and ED. Does depression cause the enlarged
issue/ Or does having a problem getting and maintaining an enlarged bring about
a feeling of depression?
New study
Numerous studies have been conducted that address this issue. A
recent one doesn’t answer that question definitively, but it paints a picture
of a very strong association, and this can be interpreted to support the idea
that depression can be a causal factor in developing ED.
Entitled “ED and
Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” the study consisted of a
systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant published research which looked
at this subject. After screening out studies for various reasons, the
scientists were left with 49 publications that were relevant to their purposes.
Results
After combing through the studies and parsing through all of the
data involved, the authors were able to determine that the risk of ED is 39%
greater in men who experience depression. Conversely, men who are depressed are
on average 1.39 times as likely to experience ED. Looked at another way, men
with ED are 192% more likely to experience depression, and depression is almost
three times as common in men with ED as compared to men without enlarged
issues. All of these findings are significant.
As with all such studies, there are possible limitations, but the
strength of the findings does seem to indicate that physicians and other
doctors need to pay attention to the link between depression and ED. For
example, if a man reports depression, it pays for the doctor to probe to see if
ED may also be an issue. Similarly, men who are being seen because of enlarged
issues should also be screened for signs of depression. In either case, the
co-existence of depression and ED may have an effect on the desired method of
treatment. With estimates that many as 322 million men may experience ED by the
year 2025, making doctors aware of this link is quite important.
Depression is not the only reason a man may experience ED, but
self-esteem issues like depression can also cause a man to ignore proper care
of the member. Maintaining good male organ health is made easier by the
availability of a first rate male organ health creme (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin).
The best cremes will include both L-arginine and L-carnitine, two amino acids
with different functions. L-arginine helps in the production of nitric oxide,
which in turn better enables blood vessels to open and expand when needed.
L-carnitine has neuroprotective properties, which can help prevent loss of
pleasurable sensation in the member due to rough use or indifferent handling.
