13. Erectile Dysfunction
Many people think that sexual dysfunction develops as a result of problems with the reproductive organs or due to psychological disorders such as depression. While this may be true in some cases, the truth is that many cases of erectile dysfunction have more to do with cardiac health than anything else. The primary mechanism through which heart disease causes erectile dysfunction is by limiting the amount of blood that reaches the tumescent penis, so that the chances of achieving or maintaining an erection diminish dramatically.
