Work-Related Stress Becoming Common Cause of Erectile Dysfunction

A recent study into the cause of erectile dysfunction has shown that as many in 1 out of every 10 cases of the condition can be directly attributed to work related stress, with a further 1 in 5 men suffering a decrease in their libido or sex drive as a result of this form of stress. The survey further concluded that approximately 90% of those who took part in this survey displayed characteristics and signs of work related stress; however only about half of these knew that this could lead to erection problems.

The exact cause of impotency problems caused by this form of stress is that it is associated with low testosterone, particularly in those exposed to high stress levels over a significant period of time. This is one of the reasons that men with erectile dysfunction should take a testosterone test as this can be treated in conjunction with a product such as Viagra to better remedy the condition.

In addition to these findings, the study also revealed a lot about the nature of this increasingly common condition as well as peoples attitudes towards it, with only 44% of those who participated stating that they would be prepared to go to their doctor if they began suffering erectile problems with many of these waiting anything up to 17 months before making this appointment with their GP to buy Cialis or any other impotence treatment. Alarmingly, out of those who did seek treatment for their condition many stated that if they failed to see results from the first time they take an oral PDE5 inhibitor that they would cease their efforts to find a satisfactory resolution to their problem.

This research, supported and funded by SortED in 10 (a website funded by Bayer Healthcare to increase the awareness of this condition), will come as a shock for many healthcare professionals who are heavily involved with this particular section of male health as it has been thought by many that the social stigmas surrounding this condition we’re lessening. However, this study would most definitely paint an entirely different picture, with patients still preferring to suffer in silence than seek treatment for their problem despite the efforts of the pharmaceutical companies and healthcare organisations to counter this.
