Gum health linked to erectile dysfunction.

For the guys with erectile dysfunction, try cleaning your gums more when you clean your teeth and I recommend using floss daily. The bacteria that collects around your gums can travel through your bloodstream and then manage to attach itself to the very narrow blood vessels in and around the penis.

I know it sounds crazy, but most men with erectile dysfunction appear to have chronic gum disease too, so it is worth a shot. Even for those with decent erections, it won’t hurt to minimize this risk :)

I wish I could’ve put this in the main members forum, but I don’t have the posting privileges.

It’s in the right forum, but it would be nice if you had a link to some research or other source to verify your opinion/theory.

That’s crazy, I definatly don’t floss, but I will start and report back to and tell you if I have any improvements. I also don’t have any erectile dysfunctions.

Dear Mr. Teaser,

I was attempting to get the OP to provide a link (such as those found with this Google search ) as required by Thunder’s policy.

Thank you anyway for the important lesson regarding dirty gums and heart disease.

Love,

Westie :inlove:

PS - The NY Times link isn’t working.

Not too surprising I guess. It seems like most aspects in your overall health will effect your EQ. I guess I’ll start flossing tonight. :D

Sorry for not providing links to help back up what I said. I read about it a long time ago and wanted to share it with anyone that may be having erection problems.

Thanks TT for the links. :)

What does OP stand for? I am not too hot on abbreviations. ;)
