How your weight affect ED?! | Dr. Anne Truong MD

11 things that a little bit of excess weight can really harm your ed.

Stay tuned to find out.

Do you know that there are 11 bad conditions that caused by obesity that affect your ED? Obesity is a major risk factor for erectile dysfunction. Men who are overweight or who are obese are more likely to experience ED than those who are healthy. The risk of ED increasing with increasing body mass index. Let me tell you why. There are several mechanisms by which obesity can lead to ed. These include, number one, first, excess weight can actually lead to diabetes. What that means is that it's the development of diabetes, which then lead to more increasing risk of ed. Because diabetes can increase the risk of ED by six fold. Excess weight can also cause high blood pressure. Excess weight can also cause high cholesterol. And obesity can also damage blood vessels, the endothelium, which is that lining inside the blood vessel, making it more difficult for blood to flow to the penis. Again, when you have excess fat, which then build up around the artery, which is inside the opening of the artery where your blood flow, it becomes narrow.

And it's harder for blood to go through.

And that condition is called atherosclerosis. And then another thing that ED can cause is low testosterone. Low testosterone can contribute to ED as well. And testosterone is what make you a male. And so it plays a critical part in sexual function. Obesity can also cause inflammation, inflammation of the organs and the blood vessels as well. Obesity can also contribute to anxiety and depression and also heart disease. Like, for instance, the arteries of the heart become narrow. Atherosclerotic disease. It can also cause strokes. It can also cause sleep, sleep apnea, and particularly cancer. With most worrisome is colon, kidney, liver, thyroid, pancreatic cancer, meningioma, which is the brain cancer itself. So obesity, let's go define this a little bit clearer. Obesity is defined as the BMI of 30 or higher. A BMI is a measure of body fat based based on height and weight. And The BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy. So essentially from 18 to 25 and from 25 to 30 is considered overweight. And 30 or higher is considered obese. I'm in the overweight range actually, according to my height. So there are different categories of obesity depending on the BMI. Like class one obesity is the BMI of 30 to 35. Class two obesity, BMI of 35 to 40, and class three obesity or severe obesity is BMI of 40 or higher. So how do you calculate BMI? Right. If you're interested in, like knowing what your BMI is, you can actually go on any. Google it. Well, BMI means that your weight in kilograms divided by your height in meters square. So kg over your height in meters square. And that's how you can calculate your bmi or you can just google it and put in your weight and your height. And so having said that, losing weight can really help improve ED in men who are overweight or even in the obese range. In one study, men who lost an average of 10% of their body weight actually significantly improve their ED symptoms. So just 10%, let's say you weigh 200 pounds and if you lose 10% of your body weight, which is 20 pounds, your ED can improve and probably your blood work will improve, particularly your blood sugar and your blood pressure will improve as well as your cholesterol. I have seen a lot of my patients essentially just cut down carb, but essentially they just don't eat bread every day, they don't drink soda every day or eat pastries every day. Just doing minor changes in their diet actually increase their testosterone level twofold as well as lowering their cholesterol. And they see an improvement in their erection and also their morning wood as well. So you'll be amazed. Just a little of change in your weight will really affect your erection. So consider that I've always talked about advocate the Mediterranean diet, which is a diet that is recommended for diabetes as well as for a heart disease. Now, ed, parallel heart disease, right? Because the artery to the penis is the smallest artery in the body at 1 to 2 millimeter millimeter, about the size of an ant. And the arteries in the heart is about 4 millimeter, 5 millimeter, so twice as much. So if you have ED, it's almost like you have a penis attack, like a heart attack. So you got to be really take your ED seriously. Now, would you have chest pain and then ignore that or would you want to go to the doctor and get your blood work and get evaluated? Because we are taught that if you have chest pain, go to ER and get evaluated. My thinking that if you have ed, you need to evaluate what's going on first. Get your blood work done right? Look at your diet, look at your lifestyle and see if you're smoking, maybe how much alcohol are you drinking? What type of diet are you on? Are you exercising? The four main critical area, start with that first. Don't just take a pill and ignore the lifestyle changes or modification that later on may save your life, prevent you from having a stroke or prevent you from having a heart attack. And I just listed to you 11 risk factors that obesity can cause even lead to even colon cancer as well. So a little bit goes a long way And I hope that you liked and find this helpful.
