Erectile dysfunction can improve with statins
February 22, 2006

According to a recently conducted research it has been found that statins show promise in improving erectile dysfunction (ED) in men who had shown minimal reaction to Viagra. Erectile dysfunction is often a sign of a severe vascular problem that involves abnormalities in the lining of the blood vessels. And often, endothelial dysfunction is an underlying problem for ED as it can be one of the first signs of atherosclerosis, a build-up of plaque and blockages in the arteries.

Most of us are aware of the fact that there is a connection between erectile dysfunction and coronary disease. The risk factors are the same for both, and thus, ED can be a marker for coronary disease. So it has been noticed that if we could make the edothelium healthier through the use of statins then we would be able to improve the endothelial dysfunction and Viagra would work better for the patient suffering from ED. Impotence or ED can also be treated with the help of other important and effective medications such as Cialis and Levitra.
