ED & high cholesterol

Postby Mazzio » Tue Sep 27, 2022 6:49 am

High cholesterol corrupts arteries and weakens blood flow.
"Too much bad cholesterol (also known as LDL) in the bloodstream creates arterial plaque that damages and blocks blood flow. These blockages will result to inadequate circulation of blood throughout the system including the penis and genital area. As a result, erection problems occur."

High cholesterol is treated with statins. Has anybody got improvement to erections after taking statins?

I'll tell of my experience. At 40 I was on blood pressure meds. I started at around age 50 with super high triglycerides. My understanding is that it is a blood lipid similar to cholesterol. My doctor at the time was treating me with super high doses of niacin. Yes my levels did come down but after a few months my body would fight the niacin & my levels would creep up a bit after falling quite a bit at first. After I had lab work done one time. My reqular doctor wasn't availabe so I took an appointment with his partner. Of course I got the report that my levels had increased after the initial drop. I wasn't happy because large doese of niacin are horrible. The new doc said nope to the niacin & gave me a drug related to niacin. This started my path to fairly normal triglyceride levels. I do take generic Crestor. I might also take another one but I'm not sure.
My health treatments went from high blood pressure to statins, sleep apnea & finally type two diabetes.
I can't point to a single one of them that cured my ED. Not even improved my ED. Even the ED drugs weren't very helpful.
My conclusion, at least in my life. These treatments are great for extending my life but do not help with ED. I do know that some people are quick to say that they are good for ED. But I don't think any of them had ED inorder to know if the treatments helped. In my opinion they're just uninformed people with a quick opinion not based on real life results.
