Матеріал з Луцький НВК "Гімназія №14"

A Kaiser Permanente Study published in The Journal of Urology had revealed men take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications more than three times daily for longer than three months have a 2.4 greater chance for erectile dysfunction in comparison to men who do not take these drugs on a regular routine.

 Past research had shown a progression to this same conclusion. This observational study had employed electronic health records, automated pharmacy data base and information from self-reported questionnaires in order to investigate NSAID usage and erectile dysfunction in an ethnically diverse populace of 80,966 men aged range 49 to 69 throughout California.
 After regulating for age, race, ethnicity, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, high cholesterol and body mass index, researchers had discovered that erectile dysfunction was 1.4 times greater, a moderate risk among those men who used NSAID on a regular basis in comparison to men who did not. This link remained the same regardless of age.
 Dr. Steven J. Jacobsen, M.D.,Ph.D., senior author, epidemiologist and director of research for Kaiser Permanente Southern California, stated that the study was a excellent example of how they work to understand the safety and effectiveness of what is recommended for patients. When researchers started the study the believed they would find the opposite result being that NSAID's would have a positive outcome due to the fact they provide protection for heart disease which is also associated to erectile dysfunction.
 Incidence of erectile dysfunction increases with age. It occurs in about five percent of men 40 years old and 15 to 25 percent of 65 year old men. However, it is treatable at any age.
 Dr. Jacobsen in closing states there are numerous proven benefits of NSAID in the prevention of heart disease and other conditions. People should not stop taking them based upon this study. However, if a man is taking them and has erectile dysfunction then he should discuss it with his practitioner.
 Some men use alternative treatments instead of prescription drugs which do carry side effects such as headaches, back and muscle pain. If you have conditions such as heart problems or high or low blood pressure they should be avoided. Certain medications and conditions can also cause erectile dysfunction.
 Some of the alternative treatments available:
 Chiropractic Care
 The nervous system controls and regulates all of the different functions the body performs which includes the reproductive system. Erections need proper blood flow and feelings of the sex organs.
 When the nerve communication is interrupted to your organs and body tissues the outcome is abnormal function. The nerve roots that aide the reproductive organs, leave the spine in the lower lumbar region which is the most usual area of back pain and spinal dysfunction. Chiropractors aide in restoring the normal nerve function and communication. This then allows the body to function normally.
 Back pain has been known to cause this condition, this happens when nerves are twisted or pinched which leads to less blood flow to the pelvic area. By correcting this problem it also corrects erectile dysfunction.
 Acupuncture
 Acupuncturists makes a diagnoses based on traditional Chinese medicine, to determine whether acupuncture, herbal medicine or both would be the best treatment course. Treatments of acupuncture usually range from ten to twenty session each week. Acupuncture treatments can be effective.
 Herbs
 Ginseng and Gingko Bilbao have improve erectile dysfunction in some men. Consult your practitioner before using any herbal treatments.
