Erectile Dysfunction (ED) - a warning
more serious than you may know
Erectile dysfunction (ED) in middle-aged men can be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD can cause ED.
A study published in Annals of Family Medicine found middle-aged men with ED are at more than double the risk of having un-diagnosed diabetes compared to men who do not have erectile problems. One complication of diabetes is ED.
Diabetes is a risk factor for heart disease. So diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and erectile dysfunction can be warning signs for each other.
