A worrying prospect!
Dealing with a high cholesterol diagnosis may be concerning. For many of us, this diagnosis may seem like a mountain to climb. Dedicated lifestyle changes will probably be necessary to prevent potential negative sexuality, and also save your life. At first, a new lifestyle may be daunting, but this goal is not as difficult to achieve as it might appear to be.
It matters not whether you are at home, work or play; just a few simple, permanent lifestyle changes lower your unhealthy cholesterol levels.
About cholesterol
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is found in all the cells of the body. The body needs some of it to help the body make hormones, vitamin D, and other substances to help the digestion of foods. There is good and bad cholesterol. The good is known as (HDL) and the bad as (LDL). It is the LDL which causes the problems and clogs up the arteries, and restricts blood flow. This makes your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and even a stroke much higher than normal.
Excess bad cholesterol is mainly the result of a poor diet full of processed foods, sugary items, unhealthy fats, and a lack of exercise, to name but a few poor lifestyle issues.
How LDL cholesterol can affect your sex life
High cholesterol restricts blood flow in the veins and arteries all over the body. The genital areas are included, and the penile artery is notably affected by a poor blood supply. This may result in erection problems, as well as the maintenance of an erection.
It could also be a pointer that there could be heart-related issues, such as clogged arteries. High cholesterol and its related problems have globally become one of the major causes of early death. Studies have shown that LDL (bad) are related to approximately 4.4 million deaths annually. This includes death from heart disease, strokes, and low immunity issues, which can lead to higher risks for viral and lung congestion problems, such as pneumonia.
Treatment can include:
Depending on the symptoms and the test results, you may have to take meds to counter high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a new diet with less processed foods, as well as more chicken than red meat will also help to get cholesterol levels down. If you are a smoker, cut down or try to give up.
Should you be overweight or obese, you could already be experiencing erectile dysfunction. Unless you make a serious plan to lose the weight, you may not have any success unclogging your arteries or restoring your sexuality.
Visit the doctor for a full physical examination if you have any concerns about poor or difficult erections. The doc will almost certainly order certain tests, and if the results turn out to be heart and circulatory issues, it may just save your life – and your sexuality!
