Connecticut doctor: Erectile dysfunction could be related to heart issue
“It’s a lot more than the mind and body, you also have to take that integrated look,” Dr. O’Brien says. “And sometimes it’s just a little more than just seeing one doctor or two, it’s about changing your diet or activity level.”

555ds agoIt’s Men’s Health Month, and some doctors in Connecticut
are raising the alarm about a common problem for men later in life.
Dr. Keith O’Brien, of Hartford Healthcare, says erectile dysfunction could be
heart-related.
He says the issues with a man’s sexual performance could result from issues
with the blood flow from the heart.
O’Brien says it’s important for anyone having symptoms like erectile
dysfunction to not only contact their urologist, but also a heart specialist.
“It’s a lot more than the mind and body, you also have to take that integrated
look,” O’Brien says. “And sometimes it’s just a little more than just seeing
one doctor or two, it’s about changing your diet or activity level.”
Doctors will often provide a questionnaire to patients to answer important
questions regarding their symptoms.
