\"\"Men who have chronic pain conditions who are also taking a certain class of pain medication have one more item to add to the long list of side effects of the drugs.<\/p>\n

In a mega-study of more than 11,000 people and published in Spine magazine, researchers looked at the prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction in men who take a popular class of pain killer and found troubling results.<\/p>\n

[adrotate group=”5″]A study looking at the effects of taking a popular class of drug called opioids was published in a recent publication of Spine magazine. Its focus was on the effect of long-term use and erectile functioning.<\/p>\n

The focus for the 11,000-participant study was on men with back pain who were also taking opioids to control it. Opioids include drugs like oxycodone, hydrocodone, and merepidine (Demerol).<\/p>\n

What the researchers found was that the men taking the highest doses of the drugs had the highest incidence and worst severity of problems with ED.<\/p>\n

They also found that the longer a man took an opioid for pain, the more likely he was to experience ED. As well, there was a correlation between the duration of use and severity of ED symptoms.<\/p>\n

Opioids are used in the management of pain but have been problematic in a growing trend of abuse among users. They cause sleep disturbances, constipation, heart problems and are highly addictive.<\/p>\n

Problems are compounded for people who have heart problems and are taking medications for heart issues, ED and pain all at the same time.<\/p>\n
