Exercise aids men’s sexualitiy
Exercise is good for a man’s heart as well as his sexual health,says an Australian study.
The new study shows strong link between a lack of physical activity and erectile dysfunction and a perception of a lack of testosterone.
It also links diabetes and cardiovascular disease to erectile dysfunction, while high blood pressure is strongly linked to lower urinary tract symptoms and perceived symptoms of androgen deficiency.
Androgen is the term used for all male sex hormones, of which testosterone is the predominant hormone.
Co-author Professor Rob McLachlan, of the Monash Institute of Medical Research and director of Andrology Australia, says the study highlights that reproductive concerns of men are related to other health matters.
“Erectile dysfunction is a canary in the coal mine for other diseases that may not be apparent,” ABC Science quoted him as saying.
To reach the conclusion, the researchers examined links between lifestyle and reproductive health in males aged over 40 years.
