Men with Glaucoma at Higher Risk for ED: Study

Men with glaucoma may be at greater risk for developing erectile dysfunction (ED), researchers from the University of British Columbia report.

In a study of 128 men, they found that men with glaucoma were more than two and a half times more likely to develop ED than men without glaucoma.

They also found that men with severe glaucoma tended to have severe ED as well.

This connection remained even after the scientists considered other factors associated with ED, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and smoking.

They were not sure why the two conditions are linked, but the answer might involve inflammation of blood vessels, they said.

The study was published in the Journal of Glaucoma.

Both moms and dads were concerned about how often they had sex, physical recovery after childbirth, and the effects of breastfeeding. Many were also coping with sleep deprivation, childrearing, and changes in body image.

The authors noted that couples who feel overwhelmed may be less intimate and, in turn, unhappier in their relationships.
