Low vitamin d affecting your sex life: Are you facing the problem of erectile dysfunction? If yes, the time has come that you get your vitamin D level checked once. Due to lack of vitamin D in the body, fatigue, bone pain, weakness in muscles and mood swings are faced. But in a recent study, it has been revealed that lack of this nutrient in the body can also affect your sexual life.
A study published in British Journal of Pharmacology has revealed the link between vitamin D deficiency and erectile dysfunction. The study suggests that vitamin D deficiency does not affect only bones health and immune health, but it also affects the sexual performance of men.
What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is also called impotence. This is a situation in which men do not have excitement during sex or have trouble maintaining it. Sometimes all men may have to face this problem. But if you are facing this problem every time, then it is important that you get it checked.
You may have to face this problem due to blood flow, nerve damage, psychological stress or any serious health disease.
More than the issue related to the quality of life, erectile dysfunction is identified as an early indication of poor heart health, including the risk of heart attack and stroke. Now vitamin D deficiency is emerging as another threat along with conditions like diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome.
What is mentioned in the study?
For study, researchers analyzed the tissue of the private part of both humans and the animals kept in the laboraryry and found that vitamin D deficiency reduces stimulation (erection). In vitamin D deficient mice, up to 40% more collagen accumulated in the erection tissue which is a sign of fibrosis, which makes the tissue rigid and makes the indications that trigger the erection less effective.
In humans, researchers researched people with different vitamin D levels. In the research, blood flow was found to be very low in men whose body levels were found to be low in vitamin D.
Although this research was done on very few people, so how correct the results of the study cannot be confirmed. It is still necessary to have many other research.
