Understanding the Role of CBD in ED

What's the relationship between CBD and ed? Well, stay tuned to find out.

This podcast is for you. The modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truang, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best selling author of the book Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started and be sure to visit my website@sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.

CBD and ed. What's going on with that? Well, let's start with what CBD is. CBD stands for canal by dial. I have a hard time even saying that. And THC stand for Tetrahydrocannabinol. They are both cannabinoids found in cannabis plant and they have distinct effect because they have different chemical structures and interaction and how it react in the body. THC or marijuana, it's a psychoactive compound responsible for the high associated with cannabis use as it binds to a receptor called CB1 in the brain. On the other hand, CBD is not psychoactive, so that means it doesn't have any type of psychogenic influence and doesn't cause a high. It interacts with other receptors including CB1 and CB2 receptors. So it influences processes like pain and inflammation, anxiety and more. So medical application of CBD includes like pain management, anxiety reduction and seizure control. THC however, can also be used medically, but it has side effects such as impaired thinking or cognition and increase anxiety. So the ratio of CBD to THC in a cannabis product can actually affect its overall effect or suitability for various purposes such as pain relief, relaxation and therapeutic benefit. So you can actually get a product that has both CBD and THC in it as well. So it's important to note that the effect and the legality of CBD and THC can vary based upon local regulation and the source of where it came from. So what are the potential benefits of CBD in 2018? Study shows that it may help with symptoms of pain, sleep disorders, migraines and actually arthritis. There's no evidence to support CBD for treating ed. Now I need to repeat that again, no evidence to support that, but it may help with risk factors like anxiety and stress. So if you have anxiety or stress, it dampens you to get an erection because I've always said in my other episode is that the brain and the penis gotta be relaxed in order for you to get an erection. So if you're not relaxed, you have anxiety and you have a lot of stress, then an erection is not gonna happen. But CBD may help with that and therefore indirectly help with your ed. And another study in 2021 notes that men with anxiety disorders are more likely to to experience ED and that CBD has shown a potential benefit in reducing the anxiety symptoms. CBD can also help with chronic stress and post traumatic stress disorder or ptsd, which is also considered a risk factor for ED as well. So we know that CBD is part of the endocannabinoid system and it also can actually regulate appetite as well too. It also reduce inflammation by affecting different type of receptors. So that's why it help with pain as well. It also can even help with ED because it may help inflammation because inflammation can cause blood vessel constriction. CBD can help with that. It can also help with increasing a little bit of blood flow. CBD can come in various forms such as topical oil, gummies or creams. There are three types of cbd. The first full spectrum which contained all cannabis plant component and less than 0.3% THC. The second type is broad spectrum which is from most plant compounds and a few traces of thc. And then the last one is isolate which is only CBD and no THC. Interestingly, in a study in 2019 it shows that CBD may reduce nerve inflammation and diabetic rats and that CBD can also reduce cortisol level, meaning cortisol is high when you have stress, it's also high when you cannot sleep. So it may have some benefit in the sedative effect and therefore it may help with ED as well. So what are the risks and regulations or The World Health Organization state that CBD is generally safe but side effects may occur when mixed with other drugs. So the potential side effects include like liver injury, fertility issues in males, diarrhea and irritability. The FDA has only approved one cannabis derived and three synthetic cannabis related drug product. So the one cannabis derived drug product is called Epideolex or Cannabidiol and the three synthetic cannabis related drugs are Marinol, Syndrose and Sesame. Epidiolex is derived from cannabis and is used for certain seizure disorder. Marinol syndrome and Sesame are synthetic forms of THT which used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy to stimulate appetite. Also in AIDS patient. So these FDA approved products have specific medicinal uses and are available by prescription by a healthcare provider only. However, to note, not all CBD products are FDA regulated. Now I want to mention that the reason why I talk about CBD and ED allows. I get a lot of questions regarding this and that's why I'm doing this episode and I hope this help. But I also want to mention that there are other alternative treatment for ed, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, regular exercise, a Mediterranean diet and meditation, which will go a long way. So in summary, CBD has not been proven to directly treat ed, but it may help with alleviating the risk factors such as anxiety, stress and inflammation. And that consumers should exercise caution when purchasing CBD products because it's not universally regulated by the fda. And that when you combine it with other medications such as maybe an antidepressant or an anti anxiety medication or other recreational drug, it may have more potential harmful effect as well. So you got to be really cautious with that. So having said that, I hope you find it useful. I will really appreciate it if you like, subscribe, comment and share episodes that you like and I hope to see you in the next episode. Take care.
