An erections is much more than just a sexual function, and if something goes wrong, it may indicate a more serious condition.
Professor Ridwan Shabsigh, the President of the International Society of Men’s Health and a professor of urology at Cornell University in New York, is visiting South Africa to launch the organization’s South African branch in honor of Men’s Health Month and to launch the “It takes balls” campaign.
We discussed what it means when erections go wrong with Professor Shabsigh.
Men’s general health greatly depends on their ability to erections. Men’s health can be accessed through sexual health, he claimed.
Shabsigh also passionately supports yearly physicals for men, even in the absence of illness. According to him, yearly physicals are crucial for overall wellness, early illness detection, risk assessment, and illness prevention.
What erections problems mean
What does it mean, then, for a man to start having erections problems? According to Shabsigh, it’s a very trustworthy indicator that something is wrong with the body.
The health of the body’s other systems is closely linked to erectile dysfunction (ED). Therefore, erectile dysfunction may be a symptom of any illness affecting any of these systems, he said.
Shabsigh went on to say that issues with getting an erections are frequently a sign of other, more “silent,” health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease.
“In otherwise asymptomatic men, ED has been demonstrated to be an early warning symptom of cardiovascular disease and diabetes and can be predictive of future heart attacks or diabetes.”
Therefore, in certain respects, ED provides what Shabsigh refers to as “golden information” about what is happening within the bodies of men who don’t seem to be exhibiting any physical signs of a medical condition. He claimed that the diagnosis of ED is the critical moment and cited numerous instances in which a man’s life was essentially spared after receiving an ED diagnosis along with a more serious underlying illness.
Coping with ED
Men tend not to talk about erectile dysfunction (ED), and Shabsigh pointed out that many of them are in denial about it and don’t express their worries. However, he added, ED is fairly common and men should keep the following in mind:
- In many cases, erectile dysfunction occurs.
- The sexual organs can malfunction just as readily as any other organ in the body.
- General health and sexual function are related.
- Dedicated to maintaining discretion and privacy are well-being physicians.
- There are top-notch therapies available.
In general, Shabsigh advises that you should consult a doctor right away if you’re having any kind of erectile dysfunction because it may indicate a more serious medical condition.
