Browsing: Erectile Dysfunction

Several studies have indicated that specific classes of drugs which are used for treating certain disorders or diseases have eventually produced side-effects. One common side-effect is erectile dysfunction (ED). These drugs influence the hormonal levels, nerve activity or blood circulation in the body, leading to an increased risk of impotence.

Researchers reported that men have a higher risk of erectile dysfunction, if they had suffered from hemorrhoids before. The study was conducted in Taiwan using the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000, a nationwide population-based dataset in Taiwan.
