Suffering ED? It Could be an Indicator of this Bone Disease

What does ED have to do with your bones (yes, we know the euphemism you’re thinking of)

This is actually a very serious matter because in a study published in the June 2016 edition of the journal Medicine, Taiwanese scientists show that men with erectile dysfunction are more likely to develop a very serious bone disease than men who are ED-free.

The good news is that if you tackle the underlying cause of ED, you’ll be able to tackle both diseases at the same time.

Researchers collected the data of 4,460 men with erectile dysfunction from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. They were all 40 years or older.

They then randomly selected 17,480 men of the same age from the database to serve as their ED-free sample for comparison.

After controlling for other possible influencing factors that may have interfered with their result (diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, liver and kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism, and hyperparathyroidism), they concluded that the rate of osteoporosis in the ED group was 9.74 per 1,000 person-years while the no-ED group suffered only 2.47 cases per 1,000 person-years. Hence, men with ED were more than three times more likely to have osteoporosis than the ED-free ones.

ED-sufferers between ages 40 and 59 had a slightly bigger risk than those over the age of 60 relative to their non-ED suffering peers, probably because the rate of osteoporosis is generally slightly higher in the over-60s, making the erectile dysfunction issue less of a factor.

Strangely, the incidents of osteoporosis were similar for men with psychogenic erectile dysfunction (stress, depression, anxiety causing it) and physical erectile dysfunction (cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity causing it).

Some of the common cause of both erectile dysfunction and osteoporosis could be lack of vitamin D, low testosterone level, and high inflammation levels.

If your erectile dysfunction is caused by lack of any of the above (or other) vitamin or hormones, here is the only supplement I recommend…

Regardless of all that, this is just another reason to tackle your ED naturally. The best method to do so are the easy Erectile Dysfunction home exercises found here…
