High cholesterol is associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). The risk of ED is nearly two times greater in men with total cholesterol levels above 240 than in men with total cholesterol levels below 180.
Difficulty getting and keeping an erection that lasts long enough to have successful sex is known as ED. Some men have trouble getting an erection in the first place, while others have difficulty keeping one. And these problems may occur frequently or just occasionally.
If there is too much cholesterol in your body, it sticks to the walls of the arteries. When cholesterol builds up, it creates a smaller opening for blood to pass through. This leads to less blood flow to the penis, which can create erectile problems.
It's natural and normal to want a healthy sex life, so if you think your high cholesterol may be affecting the quality of your erections, talk to your doctor about LEVITRA, a medication designed to help treat mild to severe ED.
