Erectile Dysfunction - Is Nitric Oxide the Answer?
Is increased nitric oxide in our bodies the solution to erectile dysfunction? Nitric oxide outside our bodies is the nasty polluting gas that causes smog. How is it possible that such an unhealthy gas outside our bodies could miraculously cure E.D. (and a variety of other ailments) when inside our bodies? This article intends to explain the answer to that question for you.
The physical issues of erectile dysfunction are primarily about blood flow to the penis. Blood is what normally fills the penis to a state of rigid erection. An inability to create or maintain adequate blood flow to the penis results in E.D.
Where does nitric oxide come into play? The role of nitric oxide in blood flow was discovered in 1998. That year, the scientist who uncovered the connection between nitric oxide and blood flow won the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine.
Nitric oxide is a gas released, each time we breath, by the cells that line our blood vessels. The release of nitric oxide relaxes the minutely tiny smooth muscles in the walls of our arteries. Relaxed arteries in the penis allow blood to surge in and cause an erection.
Many conditions related to erectile dysfunction come down to poor blood flow, whether from being overweight, smoking, or having diabetes. Smoking and excess weight reduce nitric oxide production because they impair breathing. Scientists are not exactly sure why diabetes impairs your ability create and release nitric oxide, but it does.
Perhaps the best ways to increase your nitric oxide production and thus increase your blood flow and improve your symptoms of erectile dysfunction is by exercising, losing weight, and quitting smoking. However, for those whose lifestyle doesn't include these ideal behaviors -- the sedentary and exercise-deprived -- certain drugs and supplements also increase your nitric oxide production.
Some of these drugs are used to treat heart disease or to aid body builders. Other drugs are marketed directly to the erectile dysfunction market. For example, Viagra's use in the treatment of E.D. is based on its ability to increase your nitric oxide. Herbal supplements such as Provigro also increase nitric oxide and thus improve the symptoms of E.D. These products are particularly beneficial for those over age 35 because as we age, nitric oxide in the body diminishes in quantity and availability. E.D. is not a natural part of aging, and stimulating our bodies to produce more nitric oxide may be the answer to keeping E.D. at bay.
