Boston Medical Group is the leading organization in the area of diagnosis and treatment of Erectile Dysfunction, and they think you should know as much as you can about ED to be a better patient.
Did you know, for example, that there may be a link between periodontal disease and Erectile Dysfunction?
Well, that is exactly the case. Periodontal disease, which is a disease of the gums, is an “inflammatory” disorder, and thus it is the chronic inflammation that links periodontal disease to other diseases.
One of those diseases is Erectile Dysfunction.
Remember that when that inflammatory situation occurs, it involves bacteria, and that bacteria gets into the bloodstream. It has its effect; for example, those who suffer from periodontal disease have been found to be twice as likely to develop coronary artery disease and much more likely to have strokes.
In fact, whether you believe it or not, while those who are suffering from diabetes are more susceptible to developing periodontal disease, the reverse is also true - that periodontal disease may also serve as a trigger for diabetes.
Keep in mind that regular and healthy blood flow through the arteries is a critical component to normal sexual function. It is related to arteriosclerosis, which is in turn related to Erectile Dysfunction.
Infections in the blood are not good; if you find yourself having problems along those lines, you can do yourself a favor by contacting Boston Medical Group, at 1-800-590-8085. There are 21 convenient locations throughout the United States.
