Most people may only know that gingivitis can cause gum bleeding and periodontitis to cause loose teeth; some people know more, and periodontal disease is also related to heart disease, diabetes and other diseases.But no one must have heard that periodontal disease can lead to "ED" (erectile dysfunction).This result has just been published in the June 23 "Sexual Medicine Magazine".
According to the British "Daily Mail" report, in order to make the young men's young men pay more attention to their tooth health, the dentists in Putun County and Hampe County have produced a "vampire" sexy public welfare advertisement."The teeth are not good, you are not allowed to suck blood!"
This discovery also fits a previous research result: among men with ED, more patients with periodontitis than to be more than men without ED.
Researchers believe that as long as they are diagnosed and treated periodic periodic periodontitis, whether the patient has ED or not, it will be good for their sexual health.
However, the surgical and erectile dysfunction experts at the University of Maryland's Medical Center & mdash; & mdash; Dr. Andrew Lemon opposed this statement.He believes that periodontitis cannot be directly contacted with younger brothers, but patients with chronic periodontitis were poor, and it is not surprising that erectile disorders are naturally.For example, obesity, heart disease, and diabetes can cause erectile disorders (and these diseases are also related to periodontal disease).Therefore, it is necessary to have more studies to figure out whether inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis can cause erectile dysfunction.
Periodontal disease and ED relationship
Periodontitis has been proven to increase the risk of heart disease, and heart disease is directly related to ED. Therefore, the key to research is to prove whether periodontitis is directly related to ED and how.
Periodontitis can increase the level of inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a kind of immune response. It is good for our body to confront infection, but chronic and high -level inflammation is harmful to health.
In this experiment, there is a kind of enzyme & mdash; & mdash; the content of ENOS (ENOS) in the body with periodontitis has decreased., Increasing penile blood flow, helping erection.Researchers believe that inflammation caused by periodic inflammation may reduce the amount of nitric oxide (NO), which also affects erectile function.
The role of inflammation in it
Although experts and professors at the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. David Modren did not participate in this experiment, he believes that the first time this study proves that inflammation may have a negative impact on erectile function.
Previous research has found that there will be higher levels of inflammatory factors in men with erectile dysfunction, such as C-reactive protein.The professor also said that the main factor that caused inflammation was abdominal obesity, which is also a recognized factor that causes ED.In addition, inflammation is also related to heart disease, that is, it can be a common influencing factors of periodontitis, heart disease, and ED.
