An interesting discussion concludes that ED is an early predictor of increased cardiovascular disease and premature death. The connections show up as a) low blood flow in the penile arteries, b) low testosterone and DHEA levels and c) inflammation with reduced nitric oxide levels.

Your friendly doc may suggest PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra/Staxyn, Stendra).

Your friendly alternative doc, wishing to avoid the side effects of the above, may suggest supplements.
