Treating ED in teens key for future well-being
It may seem unlikely that teenage boys could have erectile difficulties, but it can happen. Furthermore, the problem is not all in their heads but can have a physical cause, according to the first-ever study evaluating erectile dysfunction (ED) in teenage boys.
Even if a teen’s ED turns out not to stem from physical causes, “the answer isn’t go home, relax, you’re fine,” Dr. John P. Mulhall told Reuters Health.
Taking the right approach to treatment in teens is important, according to Mulhall, who’s with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Young men with ED may experience psychological harm that interferes with their sexual function in adulthood, and the earlier treatment is started, he added, the more effective it will be.
Younger Men With Erectile Dysfunction At Double Risk Of Heart Disease
Men who experience erectile dysfunction between the ages of 40 and 49 are twice as likely to develop heart disease than men without dysfunction, according to a new Mayo Clinic study. Researchers also found that men with erectile dysfunction have an 80 percent higher risk of heart disease.
“The highest risk for coronary heart disease was in younger men,” says researcher Jennifer St. Sauver, Ph.D. The study was published in the February 2009 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The results suggest that younger men and their doctors may need to consider erectile dysfunction a harbinger of future risk of coronary heart disease — and take appropriate steps to prevent it, says Dr. St. Sauver.
Noseless saddles could reduce erectile dysfunction?
The Journal of Sexual Medicine recently conducted a study and found that men who switched from traditional bike seats to noseless saddle seats reported improved penile sensation and a reduction in erectile dysfunction.
Cycling police officers in five areas of the US were the subjects of the study, swapping their conventional seats for the noseless designs. The 90 participants spent six months riding on the seats, with those saying they had not experienced penile numbness rising from 27% to 82% as a result. It was also reported that 97% of the participants continued to use the new seats after the study.
Impotence drugs help treat brain tumours
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Impotence drugs may help carry cancer-fighting drugs through the brain to treat malignant tumours, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
Tests in rats showed two erectile dysfunction drugs — Schering-Plough’s Levitra and Pfizer’s Viagra — helped carry a chemotherapy drug past the blood-brain barrier, the team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles said.
Rats with brain tumours lived 42 days when injected with the cancer drug adriamycin. But when they also got Levitra, known generically as vardenafil, the rats survived an average of 53 days. Levitra appeared to be more effective, the researchers reported in the journal Brain Research.
Erectile Dysfunction and Multiple Sclerosis.
If you have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), there are serious problems to address. Your immune system is mistakenly attacking your myelin sheath – the coating that surrounds the nerves and nerve fibres in your brain. The standard treatment uses interferon beta (Avonex and Rebif, and Betaseron), glatiramer acetate (Copaxone), and mitoxantrone (Novantrone) to modify the immune system and so reduce the number and severity of attacks. But there is no long-term cure.
